fasting

fasting for a christian in singapore is always a tough thing to do, as there are always temptations. but these days how do we discipline ourselves?



eating in this part of the world is not just for sustenance, but for enjoyment. we have the luxury of choice even when we are hungry and we will never be on starvation so bad that we will feel weak and dependent. in our minds maybe but definitely not physically. it just shows how weak minded we are.



sitting in the cofeebean just finished a sumptous breakfast, the chapter of fasting came. how apt. and God knows how much I need to be disciplined.



I failed in my previous fasting missions because at the back of my head, I know I will be slimmer after that. wrong motivation. this time round, it will be about discipline. it will be milestone for me to look back on and say "I can do it." rather than "I look great!".



ironically funny that this comes on the 1st day of the Islamic new year. God has a sense of humour.
