I remember freedom...when food simply provided nourishment and enjoyment without a second thought, and I never considered food such a high priority. Food didn't dictate my daily routine...or occupy my thoughts much at all. Back then, I would even eat sweets during the day without guilt or fear of gaining weight.
God is leading me toward freedom again...though now I eat in a more disciplined way, and more mindfully. Fasting taught me to really appreciate food, and realize the ways that food heals and sustains life. However, I no longer fast in attempt to become more spiritual by my own effort.
Thank you for leading me out of bondage, Lord.
