When I first had the idea to blog about the week long fast I thought it would be great and somewhat easy. I thought I would have all these profound, spiritual things to say. As it turns out, I don’t have much to say (and we all know that doesn’t happen often). God hasn’t opened the skies in Uganda and spoken to me. He hasn’t given me dreams about my future or told me pick up and leave. He has spoken to me as He always had, through His Word and other people. My prayer time has been really good but nothing out of the ordinary, just great, quality time in conversation with Jesus.
I will admit that each day (days 5 and 6) I ended up having something to eat with tea in the morning. I’m not sure why and I’m not sure if it changes anything or means anything that I did. I still managed to have really good time with God and still managed to feel hungry for several hours during the day. I thought about not including this in the blog and let people think I was able to go the entire week with only tea, water and dinner but I don’t think there is any reason to withhold it. Maybe somebody will judge me, be disappointed in me or feel like I didn’t truly fast for the week but oh well; I suppose I’m willing to risk it.
More to come – who knows, maybe the skies will open up :)
I don't know how I missed all these posts! Well, yes I do. Last week was a little unusual for me, and I didn't read any blogs the whole week. I glanced at the screen today, and to my delight, saw there were a whole bunch of blogs from Cara to read! I enjoyed every minute of catching up on your life :)
