So, I think I've come to a conclusion about relationships that I'm content with for now.
It definitely ties in with the Abraham illustration I gave previously, where nothing, even the relationship between father and long awaited son, should stand in the way between my relationship with God.
I guess I see it like this. There's no room for a relationship with a significant other unless that relationship supplements my relationship with God.
Being ready for that relationship is a whole different story.

So, 21 days of Awakening started today. That entails eating only fruits and vegetables (+tubers and legumes, PTL).
It's already been an enticing day. Starting off with a pancake breakfast which I had to attend, but couldn't eat anything to dinner being chicken pasta, fried chicken/tenders, and baked chicken.
Did I mention I absolutely love chicken? Sigh.
This morning I was agonizing over the choice between modified fast vs. Daniel fast. Even without meat, I felt that it would be pretty easy compared to the Daniel fast. Then I realized it's not about my convenience. lol. So since my only excuse for modified fast was my lack of faith in God's ability to provide me with str and desire to have it easy, I decided to stick with the Daniel fast.
Surely God will be good and make himself known to us. hehe.

p.s. I love meat, but on the upside maybe I'll get to an acceptable body shape for spring break ^^

Haha, I have to second that struggle between modified fast and Daniel fast. I ended up choosing the modified fast, simply because meat has the protein I need for my bones to recover quickly. Ahh well, God will give us the strength we need..
