24 hours of Reprieve....or more like 30 hours. :) Friends, in the name of community I threw my 7 out the window on Saturday evening during a Cinco de Mayo party with our bible study friends. I stretched out my reprieve all the way through Sunday and most of today too! I knew it was going bad when on Friday night I ended up in the Urgent Care with Jack and at the same time found out that Janie was sick while being a field trip with her teacher. Fun friday...NOT!
All that to say that I am back! This project has made me so aware of the need in this world. Even in my 30 hour absence from the 7 I still couldn't bring myself to eat the things I love...like chocolate. My heart is forever changed by this project and I LOVE reading your posts.
I really liked Robin's post about her 7 plan. I have found myself doing something different each day...like eat 7 things already in my freezer instead of going to the store when I ran out of my 7 approved foods. I have limited my day to eating 7 foods all day...not the same, but only 2 items for breakfast, 2 for lunch, and 3 for dinner.
Let me say that I way over estimated myself on this project. This is way harder than I thought it would be!!! I have wanted to give up on this project almost daily in the past 4 days. But take heart! The Lord is good and He sustains me. I could not do this by my own strength! I am not sure how Jen Hatmaker did this project...my only complaint is that she didn't warn us about the green poop.
