Bridal Fast - Day 9 (Feb. 26)

I am several days behind with my blog. Here is my record on last Friday.

What a day I had!

Today, a big deadline hang in front me! I have to finish the tax preparation. My husband did most of it last year. I took over to help him to focus on his work. It requires about 1 week's work, I jammed in in one day! The tasks include sorting documents, calculating numbers, making calls to get missing information, and input to computers. By noon, a huge headache is pounding constantly. I did make to the appointment with the CPA, but I left with CPA office with headache, exthaustion from lack of food, and irritable mood.

Oh, did I learn a good lesson on resting in God today?

I have done everything that I should not do in a day of fast:

1. did not spend quality time waiting on Him.
2. put Tax preparation before everything else.
3. did not pray about the tax prep before the day's work.
4. did not leave sufficient time to prepare for it.

Please do not do what I did. It is inevitable to do 'stressful things' during fast, but I need to do a better job planning and leave ample space to rest in Him.
