I have been fasting since Christmas, I have learned so much of what clarity is. True clarity. I have been tired in body but so active in spirit.
God has not left me alone in my struggle with food These passed 3 days. I am humbled by everything he is capable of.
Every morning I woke up praying that I would know why I was fasting. I realized shortly after that it was my hungry stomach speaking not my heart after God.
I ve drank so much water in the last few days. It’s insane. I’ve passed up my first chance of homemade Peruvian food. All because God asked me to give him my Physical being even when it’s not what I want.
I don’t understand why or how but on the 20th of December I was at 13,000 in my fundraising out of 18,200. I looked today and I am at 15,000 out of 18,200!!!?
I am so confused on how, when or even who. Maybe that’s not the point.
I had been asking God to show me signs that he wanted me to stay for the whole 11 months. Today he did that. I didn’t get an email when whoever it was donated that money, so I almost missed it. I believe God knew when I was going to look and used fasting as a way of getting my attentioN. He hears me, he knows me, and he has plans for me.
I am thankful for all that have given to my trip so far and I still have a little more to go but just as my funded amount grows so does my confidence and faith in him who sent me.
Thanks for reading this and encouraging me from afar as I go through these sometimes painful lessons. You guys mean a lot to me and even more so, every time I know you take the time to read these blogs of mine 🙂
