Spiritual practices

STUPID GRACE's post today was about Spiritual Practices-feel as though journaling should be a practice in my life.
The most practice out of fasting, pilgramage, sacred days, Sabbath would be fasting.
I haven't entirely understood fasting. This blog post has explained fasting and understand that we should make it a practice, and that God will lead us to fast. It can also be a time to become closer to God, to spend time with God, and for God to satisfy our hunger. God is faithful, He is mighty to save.

I am in a ceramics class at school, and it reminds me a lot about the passage in Isaiah and in Jeremiah. In Isaiah, it says how we are the clay and God is the potter. Jeremiah talks about God telling Jeremiah to go to a potter to recieve word from God. A scripture is this, Jeremiah 18:4-"And the vessel he was making of clay was spoiled in the potter’s hand, and he reworked it into another vessel, as it seemed good to the potter to do." This tells me that God made us, and He made us even if we fall apart, He makes us whole because sometimes we break. Relativley, I was making a cup for my mother, and I was shaking some dust out of the cup, and the handle broke onto the table. Not too long after did I think about that God fixes us when we break, sometimes He completley starts over. And guess what? He still uses us. I ended up having the cup still fired, and it is painted now, and it still looks beautiful.
God is beautiful.
