Update (Fasting)

To fast or not to fast... that is the question i asked myself as of yesterday.
I prayed and i felt disconnected from God so i took that as a sign that i should fast and chase after God and building my relationship with him.
So here I am on my first day of fasting. Hungry out of my mind. Caffeine feind. Jittery and distracted all while trying to focus on God. Im not going to lie. This is quiet a challenge.
I went up to the prayer chapel to get my Jesus and bible reading on. For those that dont know what the prayer chapel is, let me inform you. It is a small quiet chapel at the back of the YWAM LA campus where people can go to find quite and peace and ultimately God.
Of course though quiet is not peacful to me, it gets my mind to wander on things and all i could hear was my stomache rumble, growling at me in anger and agony. Sorry tummy. You will be filled some day, but first i need to fill my soul.
I eventually decided it was wayyy to quiet in there so i went out to the lawn and took a 'spirtual nap'.
I'm planning on continuing this fasting till my spirit is full before i can let my stomache!

  1. Love how you wrote this, Nate. If made me laugh. I know how hard it is for you to quiet your thoughts and I'm sure having an empty stomache didn't help.

    So thankful for all Gods doing in your life! Youve had a true transformation. :-))

    Love you! Hope your stomache growls have settled down by now. Lol. Hug!!!
