Third Day

As expected today was super busy so I didn't have the added temptation of hanging around the kitchen too much. Although dinner will be getting made soon ( by me). The thing I noticed today was an extra awareness of God in the morning. Nice!
And right on the heels of that some life challenges. One car only this week (door got knocked off the jeep). Honestly I am a little too tired to write about them. There were several right off and this is an insert to what I already finished writing here.
The other thing was, as I took kids to school and Marty to work and travelled to my other appointments, was fast food signs calling out to me...Ok. No. Not hearing voices! I am not crazy! I mean I would see one that said "Onion Rings or Fries Any Size $1"  and think "I love onion rings and did that say any size $1?" or another sign "Chicken and Noodles" or "Beef Stroganoff". Well things like that are there all the time but usually don't try to grab me by the scruff of my neck.
I also had to do a short grocery store run. That one I managed pretty well. Though I guess I did buy the largest box of honeynut Cheerios this time. I was tempted by a candy bar at the gas station. I was going to buy it but not eat it. Really. 
Had to drop paper off to Marty at the office and grab lunch for him (mexican) He needed to eat today cause of the pace of his job. And that is valid ok? Scripture tells us not to mistreat employees(as per Isaiah 58) so keeping his blood sugar level is pretty important!  No cranky bosses! And there I was waiting for it surrounded with yummy smells and posters of crepes and cheeseburgers and then given THE BAG with what I happen to know is excellent food.
Fortunately there were stops that had nothing to do with food products..The library, the hospital to pray for a friend, school supply store for paper, the chiropractor to work again on getting myself adjusted.
And so now I am home for the evening and I think I will make it through this day three of the fast. There have been some good God events today. Divine encounters. I think someone wrote of them as God Winks...and I'll follow up on those...and maybe post them soon. Just not right now.
