40 Day Fast and Pray

Yes, the annual fast and pray by NECF starts today! And this year i am challenging myself...to really FAST! In behaviour modification or rather psychology we learnt that when someone wants to quit smoking for example, one of the steps they can take (that would help) is to tell their friends...so here i am telling cyberworld (or rather my blog readers)...i am challenging myself to fast (1 meal a day), most probably lunch...so if you catch me eating somewhere during lunch...please give me "the look"!

Unless there is a function or whatever, i will fast dinner, if not i am trying to stick with lunch, since it clashes less with the daily routine, at least for me. I was thinking of being creative..and fast from different stuf...for example perhaps just meat (this is a big thing for me..i can never dine when there is no meat...or more like i will never fill full until i have meat...or milk..i will die (not literally) without my glasses of milk..or facebook? literati? blogging?...hahah). I guess the idea is really to fast from something that sways your focus from god...

Anyway, i am quite excited..but who isn't on the first day of everything...i am determined to keep going for 40 days this time around...at times like this, i wish i wasn't such a food enthusiast! But i'm sure I'll learn something from this experience..anyway, if you intent to embark on this journey and intercede on behalf of your nation, and also pray for yourself and the community that surrounds you..the booklet can be downloaded here...and my cell leader sent us a good fasting and prayer guide (i found some of the tips quite useful).

Hannah you can do it! (haha...positive self talk =P)
