Food?

Well lots on my mind right now. Tomorrow my friend and I plan to begin a three day fast. When asked why at first I was fairly unsure. I knew that I was doing it for religious reasons, but I wasn't actually sure what those were. Recently I have put thought to it and realized that I am doing this to build my faith up. Throughout the bible there are many times when apostles, prophets, and kings fast to show their humility and their subservience to God. As I have thought about it, I realized that I do not do these in my life very well. Rarely do I give thanks to God for everything in my life or realize him as my lord and God. I'm really not sure what this fast will hold in store for me or what it will be life. But what I do know is that I will use it as a humbling experience. Every time I feel and pang of hunger I will take it as a reminder of my God and how he is in control of my life. The pain I feel is nothing to what he has done for us. I will use the time that I have used for food, and instead use it as time to reflect on God's glory, to praise and spend time talking to him, and to delve into my bible and understand his word. I'm so excited for how this will affect my life and my faith; I want to draw myself closer to my God and build a stronger, more intimate relationship with my Lord.
