My disicpline is fasting from sugar this week. So on day 3 (which is usually my breaking point) my son informed me that he brought his dad and I a box of donuts for breakfast. So there sits that familiar pink box on the counter, donuts getting harder and harder. Except the ones my husband ate up. I have overcome the urge! Each time I think about that box, and look longingly at it, God speaks to me and I'm distracted from the need for them. For some reason I am leaving those last 2 donuts there as a reminder that all things are possible, even saying no to my beloved frosted sprinkled donuts. Thanks for the inspiration! Hey Susy,
