The idea of fasting has intrigued me for a while now. Not complete fasting (no food at all), more like the kind of fasting people do for Lent. Finding one thing, giving it up for about a month, and spending time getting closer to God. I am considering fasting from something during the month of May as a little personal challenge. I'm just not sure what to give up.
I thought about chocolate, but then I would just make up for that loss by eating other sugary things. I could give up added sugar entirely. It scares me but that's kind of the point of fasting, isn't it? :)
I've also thought about doing the social media fast (no Facebook, no Twitter, no Pinterest, maybe even no blog). Or maybe giving up any drinks besides water.
Have you ever fasted? What did you give up? What did you learn from it?

Home!
After a wonderful two-week trip to Thailand and Cambodia, I arrived home this last Friday night around 8:00 pm. I hope to write more later on some of the highlights, but for now I'll just give you a little sneak-peak of the trip.
This kid was playing some tribal instrument at the market and ROCKING out!
Some girls from a children's home working in the rice fields
Our day at Angkor Wat (the history of that place is amazing!)
