If you are visiting from my Proverbs 31 Devotion that ran yesterday, please click here for my article on "How to Help a Hurting Friend." And then, feel free to stay a while. I'm glad you're here.
Today marks day number 4 without the goodness called a Diet Pepsi. And I will tell you without a doubt, I'm missing my dear friend in a cold blue can.
Some would say it is not good to just flat out quit. But I'm an all or nothing kind of gal.
Plus, each year I fast in some way in the weeks leading up to She Speaks. So, my no soda journey will be it for this year. Each time I want a Diet Pepsi I pray for the attendees and the sacrifices they are making to get to the conference.
And those of you coming to the conference should be feeling pretty good about now. I am praying a lot.
They say it takes 21 days to develop a new habit so I'm hoping by the conference I will stop twitching. Smiles.
Yesterday I was totally missing the fizz. If you are not a soda drinker you will not get that last sentence. If you are a soda drinker you are probably headed to the fridge upon the mention of that yummy word. It's crazy.
Anyhow, I missed the fizz all day. I kept it to myself but the Bible clearly tells us that the Holy Spirit lifts up prayers for us. Well, honey, I think the good Lord was tired of my moping about for the lack of fizz in my life.
So, about dusk, my kids called me out to the field in the front of our house with such giddy excitement that I knew trouble was in the air.
Actually, it was dry ice in a water bottle. Y'all have never seen such glorious fizz in all your life. Fizz, oh, fizz, oh, fizz, oh fizz. It was tortuous.
Until they closed the lid very tightly on the water bottle and all ran for their dear lives screaming that I better run as well. From a far away distance, we watched as the water bottle swelled and swelled and swelled and ....
WHAM!
It exploded. Like pee in your pants because you were so totally not expecting it to be so loud, exploded.
I have totally been cured of my need for fizz.
Have a great weekend. And if you are drinking a soda right now, just ignore the visual from my post today. Please enjoy your soda. I wish we could enjoy one together. Really, I don't think your stomach is swelling as we speak. Really.
