Misshalfway, first of all, I'm not at all offended by what you said. A little surprised though at your advise to join the 12 step program, since I've been attending it every week for months now. And actively working out of the book. I thought I had said that already.
Here's a really bad analogy to describe my faith. My faith is like a Apple computer. It looks shiny and sleek, and seems like it can do anything. But when I have to actually USE it, I find out that it's useless. Just garbage in a shiny case. I know I can't fight this alone. I'm just praying for some help when it comes time to put my faith to the test. Satan often convinces me that God can't help me out of a tempting situation. I'm praying and fasting that I can grow in my faith.
I'm still fasting, and I'm really enjoying it. Nothing helps me to gather my thoughts together better than this. I can take anything Satan throws at me right now. But that's just the shiny outside talking. I still need to put it to the test. I really appreciate those who are fasting and praying with me. If ever need anything, I will do what I can to help.
Thank you,
LS
P.S. if none of that made sense, blame the hunger.
