Yes, it has been [more than] a week and it hasn't been easy fasting and facing endless issues in life..
I've shared with my community about something that I experienced on the second day of Lent. It wasn't something really big or something to be proud of. It was just a simple thing that made me relise how much God loves me and how He has shown me that my prayers are heard.
Every year during Lent, I will fast strictly to a meal a day with some drinks to get me through the day. As what I've always done, this year wasn't any different. Usually when I'm being offered food, I'd just take and if the food is just before me, I'd open my mouth and just eat. Last Thursday, I had my one meal and went to work. Through the day, I became hungry. During lunch time, I was doing my work and a colleague, not knowing that I'm fasting, came to me with my favourite chocolate mint love letters. The love letter was just about 5cm away from my mouth and she told me to eat. As I opened my mouth and was about to consume it, it hit me so hard that I pushed my chair back and said that I was fasting. It felt as if it was the Holy Spirit that was hitting me on my head telling me to resist from temptation. It was unbelievable at that moment. Every morning I’d pray that God will help me resist temptation especially when I am fasting.
Look how God has been good to me. It maybe a small and simple thing that had happened, but it’s a little way that God reminded me to be faithful because God has never abandon me.
