Torture - food month

The month of food is here. And it's already no. fun. Not even a little bit. The foods we will be eating and nothing else are:

1] chicken
2]beef
3] green beans
4] corn
5] bread
6] potatoes
7] salad

We lumped anything you can put in a salad as one item. No we didn't choose eggs - we don't eat many. no we didn't choose fruit - we eat it occasionally, but we tried to pick things that would fill us up.

Drew's torture will be not drinking soda. Mine of course is the whole no chocolate thing. We may be grouchy this month. Just a warning.

We are using condiments. Anything that you wouldn't eat by itself is fair game. We thought this was a pretty good compromise until we quickly realized no cheese. :( frown face.

I'm ready. It will be difficult. But our God is sufficient. We are doing this so that we live with less. There is excess everywhere in our lives and we want less of it. We are also doing this as a fast. When we crave caffeine and sugar we look to Jesus. He is all we need... gulp.
