So, I haven't been great on blogging through my Lenten fast. Partly the issue is that I have intentionally slowed down the pace of my life, including computer time. Some of the other part is that I have found in eating only during the sunlight hours, I get really, really sleepy early (actually, on time) and can't stay awake much past 10.30 or so without a head ache...interesting.

On the whole, eating only while the sun is awake has been a positive addition to my life. It feels natural. It didn't take long to lose my late night popcorn and chocolate smoothie cravings. Maybe three days? Now I feel stable on the routine. I can tell when to stop eating, even if it's a smoothie. I've cut myself off in the middle of several yummy smoothies, just because I knew it was time to stop! So amazing. :)

Today I am making raw seed burgers and seed bread in the dehydrator. I am also dehydrating pineapple to make some raw donut holes to share with friends. :) Want one?

I was asked yesterday how the fast from church was going...and all I can really say is that it is really hard. It's been a deep curative walk on the soul level. I have discovered many areas I needed to work on deeply. I found many things I needed to take responsibility for, repent and seek forgiveness. I am looking at my expectations of Church. Last year's Lent season had me looking at my expectations of God, my family and myself. This year it's branched out into church. Interesting!

I have found, that though I haven't been to church, the church has been with me! I have found the blessing in deepening friendships past the walls of the church and have gotten to spend actual time with people because I don't have the 'band aid' of seeing them for 5 minutes on Sunday to connect. It's been really, really nice.

I do miss worshiping with Robbie and my friends. I do love all the people at Ecclesia dearly and can't wait to be resurrected on Easter with everyone!

Love, Kelly
