In the past when I've taken part in a personal or corporal fast I fare well the first day, am hit hard the second and third days, and then level off for the remainder of the fast. This one has not started like I had anticipated at all. I got a headache in the morning that refused to leave even with ibuprofen. The first thing I ate was a banana (doubly ironic because I don't like bananas and this particular one was from Guatemala). While I didn't mind the restricted diet, I could never quite get full and everyone around me at work seemed to be particularly demanding. I felt less than half myself and the work load had doubled.
On a positive note, I was able to focus exceptionally well during my prayer / Bible study times. I started reading a book called "God Has a Wonderful Plan for Your Life" by Ray Comfort, but don't let the title fool you. It's not what you might think.

One final thought before bed: I enjoyed the retreat and the opportunity to hear everyone's testimonies and gain a better grasp of who you all are. I had fun with you guys. Thank you Jon & Mistye for your leadership.
