Quote by Cynthia Leitich Smith

“It was only one kiss. It wasn’t a deep kiss, a French kiss, the kind of kiss that redefines a teen life. It was pepperoni, snowflakes, spit, and rodeo dust. Crazy, like dancing and soaring and walking to a new home. Sweeter because it didn’t taste like good-bye.”

“We suffer spiritually each time we reach for a sugar high rather than the Most High. Our sugar fixation stops us from fixing our eyes on Jesus, and hungering for sweet treats gets in the way of our hunger and thirst for Him. The goal of this fast isn’t that you will begin to choose healthy food options; it’s that you will come to see Christ as the only option. The more you ingest of Him, the less hungry you will be for the things you once craved. We’re fasting from sugar so that we might feast now. This is how we crowd the sugar out.”

“SUGAR IS A STRONGHOLD for many people. Does it hold you back from the good life that God has planned for you? Perhaps over time your sweet tooth has turned into a full-fledged addiction, dictating your days, driving you from one sugary fix to the next. Unfortunately, no sugar fix can fix you. In fact, when you give sugar that job, you’ll end up more broken than before because sugar weakens our physical bodies and clouds our minds.”

“THERE’S NOTHING WRONG with wanting to lose the extra weight you may be carrying around, whether the extra load comes from literal pounds or from pounds of pain. However, for deep and lasting physical and emotional transformation to occur, you first need deep and lasting spiritual transformation. Matthew 6:33 makes it clear: When you turn your eyes, first and foremost, on God, everything else will fall into its rightful place. Conversely, when you look to the scale first, it’s nearly impossible to see past it to the soul.”
