Hungry

This past weekend was eye-opening in ways. I have to admit that I did not think that it would work, and then I get totally owned by God. This is what happens when I do not believe in Him and his power to convict each of our hearts.

On Saturday we did a program that shed light on poverty, hunger, and HIV/AIDS around the world. We fasted from Friday night's dinner to the next day's "lunch" which was prepared by Felix's grandparents in the form of plain congee. It was really eye-opening and an experience in itself to go through it all.

On Friday night, God had spoken to me about another aspect that was not necessarily touched upon in Saturday's program but I still felt that God was trying to teach me something, to encourage me. I wrote this down in my journal:

I need to be hungry - both spiritually and physically.
Spiritual:
- need to read the Bible to become full
- cannot be fully satisfied each day without my spiritual food (Bible reading & prayer)
- I need to feel hungry!

Physical
- reflecting on how truly blessed I am!
- every reminder of food turns me back to God who provided me with it
- showed me how the people around the world who go hungry each night feel
