Day 28-If only it wasn't Leap Year! ;)

Tomorrow is the last day of 7 foods for me. If only it wasn't leap year, tomorrow would've been today! ;) I am looking forward to food freedom, but like I said before I am determined to practice the self-control God has blessed me with! I know I have it and He helped me to see that even more through this fasting food experiment.

I'm really trying to not worry about what I will be wearing over the next month, but I am having a really hard time choosing only 7 things!  It would be a whole lot easier if I new exactly what the weather will be like in March! I keep second guessing my choices and changing my mind, I just need to stop already!

Right now I'm feeling tired and all done, which pretty much translates to grumpy in my house. I need sleep!  AND I need to reflect on the following verses.

Matthew 6:25 ESV

"Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?"

Matthew 6:25, 28-33 ESV

"Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? Therefore do not be anxious, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you."

You're strong woman! I think it's awesome that you are doing this. I wish I could get my family to do it. Maybe someday when the girls are a older we'll try it out.
