40 Hour Famine
Well.. yeah recently ive been involved with the 40 hour famine. Like.. you ask me.. why are you involved? Is it a cheaper than sponsering everyone else???
Well its Saturday morning, and in 4 hours I would have completed not eating for 40 hours.. :) i cant wait! My tummy is growling.. and i feel so weak. And Josh has promised to cook a BIG MEAL!! haha yesterday night at GRIP i was seriously so hungry, and i couldnt stop talking about this big wonderful meal that He was gonna cook for me - Carbonara Pasta with seafood (made from scratch including the sauce), Cheese Nachos mixed with minced beef, mushrooms and corn topped with melted cheese, garlic bread... YUMMY!!! I so couldnt stop describing it to myself yesterday night!!
But seriously, I've had to ask myself some hard questions of late.. like.. is this what people living in poverty go through on a daily basis? you know, its like.. dont you get angry? Alright, bear with me.. try to go through just 40 hours without eating solid food. You are allowed water. But people in poverty - some dont even have the luxury of drinking clean tap water you know.. doesnt it break your heart? DOesnt it stir your spirit up? Doesnt it make you angry about the injustice of this world??
I really would encourage you - be extravagant in your giving. If you havent already sponsered someone for this 40 hour famine, please grab hold of them and give them ur money. It all goes to world vision, helping kids get the basic necessities of life. Its a really good cause. People have been really, really generous and have really encouraged me to do the same.
Alright! Im off to do some housework and grocery shopping for that fantastic meal tonight.. that JOSH is cooking.. I seriously cannot wait. Please, if you havent done so, try going for 40 hours without solid food, and understand that this is what kids face on a daily basis.
deb's outta there..
