Fasting Sucks!!!

So PSCC started 21 days of prayer and fasting today and I feel led to fast food for three days at the beginning and the end of the 21 days and then meat and sugar for the time in between. Needless to say, I have not eaten all day and I am hungry. Knowing that I still have 2 days left to go is not helping either. This is good for me, I need to learn how to really sacrifice my flesh and put Jesus on the throne of my life.

The New Year has come, with much fanfare and DJ music (thanks Nikki), but now I am settling in to the grind of school again. Oh, sure it is exciting for the first little bit when you reunite with all your old friends, ask them how their Christmas was etc... andthen the fact sets in that you have class and school work to do. After all this went through my head, I realized that I do not have a class this J-term, so I get to focus on working out, PSCC youth and Ignite. This is almost a dream come true! I have always said that if I could, I would change my major to football and Ignite, so for the month of January I get my wish. I am excited for this time of prayer and fasting, especially for the campus. I hope that we learn from last year and hold our prayer meetings at night instead of the nether regions of dawn.

I get to go and share at my best friend Jonathon's bible study that he holds for the guys at his church (Northwest Foursquare) in Federal Way. Jonathon and I have known each other for forever, he is 2 months older than me and we have shared eerything since; crib, bathtub, bed and our lives in general. Even though I did not see him for almost a year, when we got together, it was like notime had ever passed. We were sharing our hearts and the struggles we have like old times, I loved it!!! He asked me to share at his bible study tonight and we have been talking about how men can sometimes be emasculated in a variety of ways. He told me that he sees lots of guys trying to live like a "Christian man" but they are nothing but weak minded and very lost. I am excited to go and share with these guys about the primacy of Jesus, nothing else matters except Jesus. I hope to impart the fact that they don't have to maintain an image to have a witness, all they have to do is RUN after Jesus. I am pumped to share if you can't tell.

Even though fasting stinks right now, I guess that it proves how much I needed to fast. I even hope to lose a little weight with this fast and more stringent and regular exercise. If God is calling me to great things, the least i can do is not eat for a couple of days!
Sorry for the long post, but thanks for sticking with me =).
