Day 4
I just finished day 4 of my “Orphan Fast.” It has really affecting me. I have been tired, weak, and sore. Totally worth it though because every time I am hungry or crave another food besides soup (quite often) I pray for the orphans of the world. I pray for protection, provision and for men and woman to step up and make a difference for the orphan population all over the world.
My chicken and rice soup I eat twice a day
When I started the fast I wanted to make sure I was not altering my life to much to make it easier on myself. So the first day of the fast I still went snowboarding all day. The second day I still did my Crossfit workout (75 pull ups and 75 dips) and even got my tetanus shot. All of this said I am struggling today. I am sore all over from my legs to my arms. My body is not able to recover from the exercises as fast and I have been tired and weak through out the day.
One more day and I will be done with this fast but I won’t be done praying for the children of the world. Specifically the children from Son of God Orphanage in Haiti as I prepare for the trip in two weeks. Please join me in praying for God’s favor on the children. That God will protect the 126 children as the number of people affected by Cholera rises to 75,888 and the number of deaths rises to 1,721. (http://tiny.cc/lxoen)
I have been asked many times “Is even safe for our team to go down there right now?” We have talked to a doctor and received the go ahead. We will be drinking bottled water the entire time as well as we are taking Doxycycline for Malaria which conveniently is also a backwards way of preventing Cholera.
I would still love your prayers though for the safety and health of our team, contacts and of course the Orphans.
I will keep you updates as more develops. Thanks for the prayers!!
