Day 5

Wow.  I can't believe its been 5 days!
Physically, I slept well last night - almost 12 hours!  It just felt so good to be in the laying position.
I have still been having stomach problems.  Drinking water only infuriates my stomach.  I think it is caused by a blockage in my bowels and the bile coming from the liver and other organs is getting backed up into my stomach.  That's at least what all the online books are saying.  So I'm going to the Dr. tomorrow/Thurs to get that taken care of.
I have had no headaches today and my sinuses are clear!  PRAISE THE LORD!
Weakness and back pain have been an issue.  I believe these are due to colon function (lower back pain) and acidosis (general fatigue).   My weight this morning was down 11.4lbs since I weighed on Sat.  I don't know if that's accurate but I can fit into my skinny jeans (direct from the dryer!).  I will be taking pictures tonight for friends and family to document my weight loss - no I will not be posting them.
Emotionally, I am doing great.
Spiritually, I have decided to focus on sharing the gospel.  I've started through a Two Ways to Live witnessing guide. It basically helps you share the gospel w/o the words getting in the way.  You can still personalize it to the person you're talking to, but there are pictures and verses that help explain what you're talking about.  I have decided that this year is about getting back on track to go to the mission field.  I have been sitting around waiting for God to do something and move me.  Well, it looks like I just needed to move myself in the direction that God had already shown me.  Wow, this fasting stuff certainly opens your eyes.  I've been waiting for God to do it all and I haven't realized that he's already set the standard for me.  I just needed to cooperate with the Holy Spirit.  How incredibly foolish I've been!  I guess I have something new to repent of.
I have found prayer to be the hardest thing.  I don't know if its lack of motivation to pray correctly.  Its been the biggest struggle I've had in my Christian walk ever since my salvation.  I'm a horrible prayer.  Perhaps I can work on that next. I need to make myself care enough about the world and people around me to pray for them.  I have to believe in the power of prayer!
