Today is Fast and Testimony Sunday. However I did not go to the Sunday meetings. As a matter of fact I haven’t gone to Sacrament at all this year. Sunday is supposedly a day of rest, but I have NEVER found church the least bit restful. I have trouble sitting through lectures. I enjoy socializing and participating in classes but I need to be attentive for both of those things. Everything about church increases my stress. So I haven’t been going. But it’s Fast and Testimony Sunday so I’m fasting. I don’t say that with “sackcloth and ashes.” I am grateful and even a little happy to fast. The fact that I can go 18 hours without any food or drink is a great reminder that I am healthy and stable. So I fast. I suppose I’ve borne my testimony for you, so maybe I can kind of check that box. And I’ve been doing pretty well and keeping my day prayerful and meditative. Ya know… Actually resting.

One response to “I Fast and Pray”
Rest is very important. You are in a period of adjustment between the demands of your old job and the demands of your “new” job. I know you wanted it to last the week in between, but it takes as long as it takes. My health complications add to the demands you must meet on a day-to-day basis, too. It’s OK to rest. You need it and you deserve it.
