last day!

it's thursday morning.  today is the last day of my 3 day water fast.  feeling kinda weak but i know that'll pass soon.  i haven't felt fuzzy in the head at all during these days, and that's a good thing.  i have cheated just a tad i must confess.  i have been drinking 1/2 cup of coffee in the mornings.....gasp.  my diet recommends drinking 8 oz. of hot water first thing in the morning with some lemon juice squeezed in.  i have been doing that also.  i find that the lemon juice sinks to the bottom of the cup and by the end my throat is constricting just a bit.  that feels kinda wierd.  it's supposed to get your digestive juices flowing for the day, although for these past three days there has been nothing to "digest" duh.

anyway, my tummy has miraculously not been very hungry during this fast.  my mind, however, has been another beast.  do you realize how much your mind has control over your appetite(s)?????  i mean, just look at that measly 1/2 cup of coffee.....my cup of coffee is my comfort drink of choice in the morning.  it's not the just caffeine....i mix 1/2 and 1/2 caff and decaff coffee beans. so there is a smidge, but guh....my mind and my soul are 100% addicted to that one little morning ritual.  i comfort myself in the fact that were God to plunk me down in a place where that would be unavailable to me i could forego it.....duh of course i'd HAVE TO.  great justification job there dago.  anyway, yes, my mind definitely has been wanting to eat everything in sight...just because it's there.  food.  comfort.  goooood.

i am reading several books.  go figure.  have you ever seen my bookshelves????  one of them is entitled "the advocates".  it is about pleading the cases of others before the court of heaven.  hea-vy.  it is one of several on intercession that i have been perusing lately, as that is one of my jobs while i'm here:)  today i was reading a portion where she was quoting some stuff out of revelation about the throne of God, etc.,  and i got to thinking....who ARE them 24 elders anyway?????  you ever thought about that????
