I did the 30 hour famine last weekend.
Let me tell you.
I loved it.
It sounds wired because you cant eat for 30 hours,
but I very much did like it!
It was the things that we did in that 30 hours, why I liked it.
For sure! God loves us!
I think he likes it alot when we do any kind of fasting.
As long as it is for him and to him.
So last weekend 15-16, I got to experience how one kid felt like.
Her name is MyLove.
While MyLove was tying to save her younger sister when the house was collapsing
she burned her hands in the cooking fire.
She made it to a displacement camp with her family.
But the pain was excruciating.
I had to pretend that I was this young girl.
Not having the use of my hands.
This was hard.
We played games.... games you would use your hands in!
It was hard, let me tell you.
We got to taste there food.
It tasted like corn cake, but mush.
And it provide just the right amount of vitamin they needed in one day.
It was not tasty like the things we have here in the U.S
But I ate one and one haft of a cup, because I was hungry.
Did you know that in Haiti it only takes one dollar to feed one kid for a day.
Before the 30 hour famine we where having people sponsor us.
We had 2 weeks, to raise as much as money and would could for these kids.
I my self raised 420$
We wanted to raise 9oo$ as our whole youth group.
And we only have like maybe 10 people in our youth group.
We ended up raising 1,050 dollars all together!
And more! because more people kept raising more money after.
And ALL of it is going to the kids who don't have any food over seas.
It was a great day!
And I will do it when ever again God wants me too!
I love to serve him.
The story about the eggs are just that I had an idea to do them.
But I haven't done them in a long time so I forgot you need warm water when your doing them....
So I warmed up all the cups with die in the microwave. :)
It was fun.
My love for God is strapped in my heart forever. <3
And I will keep on doing what he wants me to do.
I love him.
So proud of you Bethie! You are always reaching for more of Him! Jeremiah 29:13 You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.
