My First Fast!

So When i went to LA my friend fasted. I was so curious and I just loved it.
I didn't know I was going to do it on my own so soon.
So i decided I would fast for 12 hours. 8-8. It was intense. The night before I had prepared myself with reading some scripture and praying. I wanted to have set goals of why i was doing this. I fasted for a friends salvation, obedience to god, and for me just to be closer to Him.
I woke up this morning at 7:45 to eat a little something then began my fast! It was very hard. The first 2 hours were easy. then I went to work. My co-workers make fun of me for being a christian so they didnt quite understand. They only tempted me with cookies in my drawer and lots of yummy things. But After constant prayer I was fine. The hunger pains subsided and only god was on my mind. I related my work situation to real life. Temptation. I thought of how they were tempting me to fail just as we are all tempted by non believers.I also learned that really by prayer and fully trusting i can resist that temptation.
I also learned how good it feels to be in the word so much and to be in constant connection and really put god first. something i have been putting off.
With work, school, and relationships i put god on the backburner. which is not working for me. I learned so much today. I am so proud of myself. and I know God is proud to. I didnt think i would make it, but i think he knew all along.
I wanna pursue my own relationship with christ. I'm ready to not be so dependent on others. there is no middle man. just me and him.
