Fasting has been around since the times of Jesus. I do not enjoy fasting but I see it as a way to really become mindful of what I put into my body. It brings me closer to God and it also makes me pay attention on what is going on with myself. I am not talking about a long fast. I am talking just not eating between meals It also helps me because I don't really enjoy trying to stop snacking if I start. So when I am fasting (which for me means don't snack between meals...eat at certain parts of night... It really helps me build character and integrity. Am I going to cheat myself, others and my body by cheating on my fast? Or am I just going to give my thoughts to God and let him mold me. I strive to think how I can help others during the days. Not thinking about how many chicken planks I am going to eat at Long John Silvers. Character building is something that I really want in my life. Honesty, integrity, growth. Those are important with me and body building and diet really help me see if I am being honest with my self. They help me see if I am cheating, they also help me see where my thinking needs to get better. The benefits of a clean diet and a good work out are awesome. You get a clear, strong, healthy mind body and soul.
Grab Bag thoughts: Character building....going through pain because God is molding you into something greater. Taking care of yourself, but being mindful to help other people. If you can't help other people don't hurt them.
