1. Write for 5 minutes flat – no editing, no over thinking, no backtracking.
2. Link back here and invite others to join in.
3. And then absolutely, no ifs, ands or buts about it, you need to visit the person who linked up before you & encourage them in their comments. Seriously. That is, like, the rule. And the fun. And the heart of this community..
So here goes not edits:

Fall it's what I did on day 7 of "7" I fell (past tense of fall) yesterday at Milton's when I ate chicken, bread, and water on my list of 7 but finished it off with a few bites of banana foster.
It's OK that I fell ... I gave myself permission to fall because after all it was my oldest daughter's birthday celebration.
Fall it's what I did on day 8 of "7" I fell for the dish of M&M"s as I saw my daughter Kelley reach into the bowl at Jacob's graduation open house. Mind you ... I stuck with"7" all day and it was not until 8 pm tonight that I reached into that bowl of candy. No good reason for reaching my hand into the candy dish and of course I felt crummy for fall(ing)
Why can't I remember to pray when tempted ... remembering
"no temptation has seized me accept what is common to man yet God will provide I way of escape"
... falling into the I'm sorry please forgive me mode for thinking only about what I wanted (the banana foster and the M&M's). Now falling into forgiveness cause that's what He does when we come to Him!
stop
Hoping and praying not to fall tomorrow on day 9 ....
I think we're made to fall - teaches us resilience and grace! I have not read "7", but it is on my list! I'm intrigued by the idea and love that you have already done a month of it and are doing it again!

Love the pic of M&M's and the way you go from falling to falling into His forgiveness. Glad I stumbled over to your blog, am going to subscribe so I can read more!
