Fast
Today I decided I was going to fast. At first it was because I ate a lot of junk this weekend. Then, I thought that it would be good to strengthen my faith. Normally, I'm really weak. I hate going without food. Food is the best! When I was young I'd try to starve myself because I thought I was fat and I could never do it! I swear those cookies would always be calling my name! Hahaha! I'm also really bad at making commitments. It's not that I don't like commitment. I'm just one of those people who always breaks their New Years Resolutions. I always say I'm going to take better care of myself and stop biting my nails and things like that. And inevitably I fail within a couple weeks or month or whatever. So here I am going without any food. But I'm all right because I've got God on my side! I'm only drinking water and juice...mostly water. Sure, I'm hungry. My stomach was rumbling in Accounting but right now I feel fine. Now it's more like I'm not hungry but I know I'm supposed to be eating. I know that I should already have ultimate faith in God. I know that I should know that I can do ANYTHING in Him. But wow, if I get through this (which I will) I will be so motivated to do EVERYTHING!! And I know I will succeed because I will ask God for help and He will help me! Yay!!

So, now about my weekend. I went home on Friday to celebrate my birthday with the fam. I had an appointment to get my eyebrows waxed so I went and did that. I pretty much sat around on Friday and my dad brought home pizza for dinner. Saturday morning, my brother went and got Krispy Kremes for breakfast and my mom and I went shopping. Then around 3:30 we went to Hard Rock Cafe Detroit with my aunt and uncle. It was really fun. They made my stand on a chair in the middle of the restaurant and everyone said happy birthday. Then I got free ice cream! Mmmm. Then my mom and I went to a play that my cousin was in. They did "The Hobbit." He played Bombur. It was so great!! For being a bunch of kids, they did a really good job. When we got home from the play, I opened my presents and we ate cake. My brother got me Dido's new CD. From my parents I got an optical mouse, a hair dryer, the game Catch Phrase, some cute note cards, and a gift card to New York & Co. Yay! It was a nice day. On Sunday I had cake for breakfast (hehe) and then packed up and headed back here. Craig was the only one here when I got back. It was so great to see him again. Liz and Keith had made him a cake that said "Bon Voyage Craig" on it. It was precious. They made me Pirates of the Caribbean themed cupcakes. Hahaha! I really wasn't expecting anything at all. They also bought me a box of sugar cookies. Now ya'll can understand why I wanted to fast today...so much sugar this weekend!

And it's snowing. A lot. Maria and I are supposed to go visit our PAL, Keriana, tonight but I'm not sure if that's going to happen. It's just supposed to be getting worse as the day goes on. We'll see. Later ya'll! And God Bless.
