a day to pray

I could really go for a snack right now.

It would be so easy to reach into the cabinet or refrigerator for something (anything!) to eat at the moment, but I've made the decision to fast for the bulk of today and am trying hard to stick to that choice! 

There were a variety of reasons for this decision (perhaps a topic for another post), but the main reason is that I want to spend the day in frequent prayer. I know that going about my day as usual would make it difficult to remember to talk with God (after all, that's what happens every other day). I have a lot on my mind today and figured the best way to remind myself to pray about it all was to go without food. This way, every time I feel hungry, I remember to open my mouth - not to eat, but to pray. For a routine 3-meals-a-day-and-a-few-snacks kind of girl, let's just say I've already spent a lot of time in prayer!

Will you join me in prayer? More of "what's on my mind" to come... For now, it's between me and God.
