It was hard going on that 3 day fast but I'm glad I stayed on track because I know even though 3 days will take a while to get by, it is also very quick. The thing that triggered me to begin this fast was that night that mum cried because of how terrible dad is to be working in the same area at TWO different restaurants, spreading rumours about us ect. And she cried because she was sad and did not want my sister to worry about the business whilst pregnant. My sister is giving birth in late april or early may and the business wasn't going as well as we wanted. On top of that, the workers are slowly quitting and we have no staff. From next week onward, I would need to help out on my 2 days off and Chi would also need to help. So it made really sad. I gave my mum a hug and said to myself I HAD to do something about this! I did not know what to do apart from praying... AND fasting. I started messaging people on facebook. A total of 12 people that I thought of, and I also told them I'm going on a fast. I didn't tell them to boast but to ask them if they would like to join with me. I thank them for their prayers, I thank them soooo much. But more so of this amazing God I'm worshipping!! You are amazing Lord Jesus!! MY almighty God!!!
The first day wasn't TOO hard but nonetheless was quite hard. I find it so hard to go on a fast nowadays. I'm not sure if it's my love for food or my decrease level of spiritual hunger or lack of desperations and needs for answers. Whatever it was, I did NOT lack it. I stayed through this 3 days. The first night was amazing. I got really touched at night and just cried to sleep and I don't think I have wanted something so bad in a LONG LONG time. It hurts me to see others soooo hurt, especially my mum and my big sister. And the fact that she is carrying God's creation in her womb as well, I do NOT want her health to affect this baby! at alll!!!!!!
Second day was really hard. I was still sick as well so I just really needed something. I decided to eat fruits and continued doing that the next day also. I hope God wasn't upset. I'm sure he wasn't. He knew my heart! I wanted continue no matter what. I did not want to give up! I did not want to start and not finish. Besides, the night of the second day mum came into my room and said that the restaurant did so well! I was SOOO HAPPYYYYYYY. I think, more like I was really touched.... I just started thanking God and crying... I was so happy. I knew he heard me! I asked her how the night before went (the 1st day of fasting) and she also said it did well. It was such a turn around particularly when the restaurant has been doing really bad for 2, 3 weeks now. And as SOON as we started praying and fasting, God INTERVENED! That's amazing!!! I am now more convinced of the weapon to fight against attacks; it is PRAYER + FASTING !! + GIVING! Yesterday I asked Cong how things went (3rd day of fasting) and he said it was good. I was happy :) and tonight coming home, mum wasn't upstairs because she was helping my sister downstairs. It was a full house tonight! HOW AMAZING!!
