For Women Only: An Ordinary Woman's Diet, Fitness, Weight and Beauty Log and Diary

I want to glorify Christ in my body, and I am learning how to do that. My name means "womanly," but what does that mean? When I became a new wife and Christian, I went on a mission to understand Biblical womanhood, focusing on her from the inside. In more recent years, as my body succumbed to the pull of glutony, gravity and aging, I am focusing as well on my physical appearance. I am learning how God would have me live as a beautiful woman (and aren't we all?) in this world for His glory.

Partial Fast Monday

Today is Monday, and that means that it is my partial fast day. I dreaded it in a way, but made it through. I decided that I want to do this, because, to put it in the words of Paul, "I buffet my body and make it my slave." Why should the londings of my flesh dictate so much of what I do and think?

I am so weak and needy in this world. Kind of like a fish that goes bad two days or less after it dies; it just disintegrates into water and eyeballs. Being so dependent upon what I eat that when I don't eat, I realize that God sustains me moew than I have been realizing.

When I am fasting, I don't think as clearly. But God is building me up in His power.
When I am fasting, I realize how dependent I am that He lets everything go alright, and that He does. There is so much I could talk about but I want to sleep. I am so tired. I will talk about that in my other site today. Onward.
