New experience

Today is the first day of fasting. I didn't consume any solid food from the morning until evening. This is an event held by the Acts Church. The aim is to encourage Christian to have a closer relationship with God.

Seriously, I was very hungry, and I feel like my saliva was coming out from my mouth when I saw or even heard or saw the name of food. (Of course, this does not happen; I will never allow me to act so disgusting!) I was struggling.

I have taken part in partial fasting for about 21 days. However, I do not dare to tell my parents. I am worrying if they will oppose as I would suffer gastric sometimes. So, when my mom asked me what to cook, I was like. "Erm, better don't cook, I am going out to have lunch later." In the evening, when I came back

home, I heard my mom asking:"What did you have as your lunch just now? Is it nice?" Oh my goodness, I did not know how to answer, I do not like to lie. Therefore I pretended that I did not hear and I immediately change the topic. Fortunately, my mom didn't continue her question.

As this is the first time I take part in the fasting event, I do not know what time the sundown is. I kept going out from my room to see if the sun already went back to its home. I Opened the door, why is it still so shiny? Nevermind, I closed the door again. Few minutes later, I opened the door again and ended up with disappointed as the sun did not pay any sympathy on me. I closed the door again. Without how many times I did the silly action, the sun finally went to the west and few minutes later, sun was down. Hooray! I text Michelle at once, "Hey, the sun is down already, I can go and eat now." Can you imagine how excited I am?

Finally, I could eat. Because of I had been starving for the whole day, I grabbed whatever food I could get at that time: Pineapple tarts, Chocolates, Ice-cream, Rice…so on. I can’t imagine that I could eat so much food at the same time. For sure, I was full, and I felt like my stomach was going to explode. Scary.

By the way, I am satisfied with what I did. I didn’t eat for about eight hours. And I hope I can succeed in the 21 days fasting event! And I know, in faith, I can do it!
