God's Blessings Breaking Forth

So the focus for today was finances and prosperity. I asked all of you and my Facebook friends to specifically pray for my job situation. Finally, today, there is some action! I have a couple strong possibilities that I'm working on, and I have an inside track on at least two of them, so I'm hopeful. It is not lost on me that the first day I've had real movement in the job situation is the day on my fast that finances and prosperity is the focus - that's just like God. He's having fun with me. Please continue to pray and I'll keep you updated.

The fast is 1/3 over, and I will be completely honest and say that today was a struggle. Each evening, especially, when I'm craving meat or chocolate, I just wish that the next day I could wake up and it would be finished and I could eat what I want. But let's face it, there's no end in sight. I still have two full weeks to go. Some days I go to bed hungry and then wake up hungry, but I just keep on fasting! I did find a panacea for my sweet tooth - dates! They are so wonderfully sweet, that two or three of those feels like dessert. I think tomorrow I'm going to make another smoothie, that was really good.

Today I went to the Farmer's Market and got some produce, I forget how inexpensive things are there. I got a pint of blueberries for $1.49, they are $4 in Kroger! So since I'm not working I have been watching my grocery budget, and those better prices allow me to branch out and try some different things. Every day I try something new and different. In addition to the dates, I had pears today, and some delicious steel cut oatmeal with apples for breakfast. Also had some left over couscous salad, I need to make more of that, it's wonderful. My best friend Sue told me about some grilled tofu she saw on the Food Network, so I may try that tomorrow.

Day 8 prayer focus is, wait for it.......marriage. So, yes, that is something that has been in the back of my mind for some time, as those of you who know me realize. BUT, having said that, I am not chomping at the bit to meet someone. I want to take some time to work on myself, heal from my last relationship and become the kind of person that the person I want to marry will want to marry. I have started praying for my future husband every day, though I don't know who he is. I still have work to do on me, but do keep me in the back of your mind in that regard.

Have a blessed day and we'll talk again tomorrow.
