40 Day Sugar Fast-Challenge Accepted

Podcasts are one of my favorite things.  I recently started listening to the podcast "Java with Juli"Click here to check it out..  One particular episode really caught my attention Episode #291 Will You Trade Your Comfort Food for the Comforter?. 

Driving through the mountains of West Virginia and Virginia of our journey back to Texas, I heard the best explanation of fasting I had ever encountered.  It made total sense.  The 40 Day Sugar Fast is so much more than just a diet.  Every day of this is being pointed back to the true comforter. 

What do you run to instead of Christ?  For me it is definitely sweets of ALL kinds.  So starting Monday Jan 6th I will be fasting from sugar.  Every time I crave something sweet, I will be going to Christ through prayer, bible study, or worship ( and let me tell you that girl scout cookie season is upon us and this is going to be challenging!!). 

I signed up the website above and will be receiving daily encouragement through emails and I will also be sharing my journey with you right here on the blog. 

This isn't about weight for me (even though losing the baby weight would be a super great bonus).  This is about resting in The Comforter instead of Comfort Food. 

Who's with me?  Sign up on The 40 Day Sugar Fast website to receive the emails and comment below so I can encourage you as we take this journey together!

3 Year Olds, Am I Right???

The 3 year old phase, is at the same time, my least and most favorite phase.  I know, it doesn't make sense to me either, but just hang in there while I try to explain myself. This is the phase in which *most* tiny people have more words and can express what is going on in their cute little heads.  I love the level of communication.  I love not needing to guess *most* of the time which color of cup is the favorite today.  I love hearing their voices, and all of the questions that they have as they try to make sense of their world. While some days I lovingly refer to this phase as "terrorist threes" and other days I have no idea how one tiny human can make SO. MANY. MESSES while looking so dang cute, most days I am giggling and wondering what they will be when they grow up.  What is God's plan for this BIG personality. My current 3 year old is, to date, my most challenging.  She is busy, has definite ideas of how she thinks her day should go, and is ...

40 Day Sugar Fast- Days 1 and 2

I am unlikely to write everyday of this fast but I want to do periodic updates as I go along.  Buying the book was not on my radar, I knew I could do this with just the emails, and website but Amazon had it on sale and I found out that you got access to tons of freebies when you buy the book.  I can't resist a good freebie so I was game.  Here is what you got with the purchase of the book: *Printables *Weekly Videos *Scripture Cards for each day's verse *A Digital Book called "Sugar doesn't Make a Mama Sweet" Here are a few of the printables and memory cards and where I put them.  Now that I have told you all about the free stuff lets get to it! Lets start with Day 1 .  This was a day full of testing.  Not sugar wise.  I didn't crave any sugar just for the sake of sugar.  I went to Christ in prayer, listened to worship music, read the Bible, listened to the Bible in Lew of sugar. However, one of my children was having a hard da...
