Today is Wednesday and I'm trying to update everyday on my 21 day journey.
Yesterday I don't know why I didn't update. I had an opportunity to update, but for one reason or another I just didn't. So, today I will give an update on yesterday (a little bit) and today.
Yesterday was a little harder than expected. I was hungry for a little portion of the day, but when I thought about the reason why I was fasting the hunger didn't really matter. It was still there, but it didn't bother me as much as I thought it would. I went to Solo's BBQ and I went to hang out. Good thing I took my water bottle because the smell was intoxicating and that's when the hunger pain really hit, but again, it didn't bother me as much as I thought it would.
Today was weird. I woke up a little dizzy, but its all good. I went to school and am still here, but hopefully I make it through today alright because today has been maybe the easiest day and I know that its only the third day, but I'm not feeling any hunger.
God has and is showing me a lot. I'm reading through the book of Jeremiah and it is really insightful on God's heart for His people and how they(we) continuously turn away from God and He continuously forgives and calls them back to Him. God has a huge heart and it is amazing to me that He can forgive and keep on forgiving.
I wanted to fast because I wanted to pray. It is my fault that I haven't been praying as much as I wanted, but I wanted to pray for the students at the church I serve in. I don't know what they're going through, but from the looks of things it doesn't seem like its all good. I guess it hurts sometimes seeing the kids that I serve and love going and making some of the same mistakes that I've made and for some people, yeah, I'm going to concede the fact that maybe they're not saved and they'll never be saved, but I can't stop loving, right?

Hi Johny! This is proof that I'm actually reading your blogs. haha :)
I'm really glad that I have someone like you to look up to in my spiritual walk with God. It truly is inspirational because I know that when I fasted AIM & Facebook, it was super hard for me and I didn't even fast with the right mindset. But just reading your blogs and seeing how you're so focused on fasting for God inspires me.
I hope that you have a blessed time as you fast for God, and I hope it becomes an opportunity to find out more about Him and yourself. And I know that it might be tough, but just know that I'm praying for you. We shall talk on Sunday!
