We’re nine (9) days into Lent, but whose counting? Me! I’m numbering the days to Easter in my journal. The end of this season isn’t even in sight yet. Do I sound whiny? “PLEASE, just one tiny taste of chocolate!!”
I may sound whiny but I’m really not. I know I need this season — inside and out! Lent is the time when I, with purpose and on purpose, make changes. It’s a personal time of interior…
Daniel Fast Peanut Butter Balls
Energy balls made of peanut butter, oats, and coconut are excellent for on-the-go snacking and are Daniel Fast-compliant.
How the heck has it already been a week since my last post? 😮 Time honestly feels fast as you get older!
It's been a big week that's for sure! Have done 5 days at work and I'm starting to get the hang of things. My colleague is fairly confident in leaving me to do the work without needing to hover which feels good. I'm also getting into a good rhythm with my mornings, although this morning I slept in till 6 and didn't get out of bed until 6.10 so was a bit of a rush getting out the door. Really want to get that down but it's definitely getting easier waking up at 5 the more I do it.
Food and fast wise... Well... Yeah. I was at a friends place this weekend and it was snack central! (That reminds me I need to transfer her money lol) but I haven't had a weekend stay at anyone but my friends place since 2014 so that was cool getting to know her a little more. Other than that I'm mostly sticking to having my first meal at 12 but still struggling to finish at 8... I just love snacks and if it's in front of me I'm likely to eat it! I can definitely feel the Holy Spirit's conviction each time I do but I can also hear the enemy's voice coming at me with condemnation so the positive in that is being able to discern.
Hmm, what else has happened this week?
Oh! I got my first paycheck on Thursday, which is wasn't expecting to get at all. I was expecting for this week to be my first one so that was great! Sent that straight to church for my first fruits offering, did that as soon as I saw it so that I couldn't tempt myself out lol. I'm reading The Blessed Life by Robert Morris and really enjoying it. I recommend it if you want to know more about tithing and financial generosity.
Once this weeks paycheck comes in I'll do a proper breakdown of the money. Because I'm in a position where there's overlap of my student allowance and work pay I actually think I'm going to hold off touching my paycheck money to Sunday night and have that be my weekly financial review day. I might even upload a YouTube video. Haven't uploaded in a while.. I'm just not in the habit of filming yet.
Yea that's the catch up. Monday and today just had work. Was in bed by 9 last night which was great. Still on the bus home from eGroup tonight (it's 9.25) so probably going to go straight to bed as soon as I get home and sort my lunch in the morning.
First day of work today and it was a bit of a non starter. The servers went down like an hour after I arrived so I was shown around the building and met a few of the people in the office, but beyond that I could do any more training so ended up going home.
Was there for about an hour and then hung out with a friend before going to prayer meeting.
Fast wise I mostly did ok.. Except u had a couple of chips and a tangelo after prayer meeting cause I completely forgot I wasn't suppose to eat past 8 🤦♀️ Actually I'm going to set an alarm on my phone right now to remind myself....
Ok done. Hopefully that helps.
My flatmate just tested positive for COVID and I've had this sniffly nose for the past couple of days so I'll test when I get home. I really hope I just have a bit of a cold. I'd hate to have to take a week off work after just starting!
That's my catch up for the day. I found out last night I had an extra 24 hours before my overdue assignment was going to be deducted more percentage for being late so I'm gonna smash that out now. I thought it was already past that day so I'm stoked!
