Today is day 5 and I can truely say that this has been an amazing experience so far. Day 3-4 were the hardest, but I've made it through and today has been much better (physically). Day 3 was probably one of the hardest days (physically) but has been the best spritually. I was able to have a wonderful time in the Word, spending time with the Lord that day and it made all the physical weakness/nausea worth it all. God is definately giving me strength. :)
Tomorrow we leave for CO Winter Extreme ski trip. I will be in a room with 3 other amazing girls and I can't wait. I can't wait to see the Lord open eyes and hearts to the Gospel this weekend. :)

Day 3
So, I am on day 3 of this liquid fast. The Lord is being so faithful to see me through this. I have not experienced much hunger and have dropped 3.5 lbs.
Something cool to share. As you know I am raising support to go to South Africa this summer. I need to raise $5,500 by June. I have being slightly discouraged lately because nothing has come in yet, however I go into work yesterday and one of the nurses I work with gave me $100 check for South Africa. So encouraging. The Lord is so faithful.
Write more later! :)

40 Day Liquid Fast
So, today I am starting a 40 day liquid fast. My sister and I are doing it together. I'm hoping to keep up with everything on here. I'm hoping this will be a sweet time with me and the Lord.
I am preparing to go to South Africa for 6 weeks this summer. I am starting to raise support. I am hoping that while raising this support and doing this fast it will make me rely on Christ alone for strength and provision.
So....Day 1: Only 11 hours in and doing great! I am at work today so it's a little tough to see everyone eating, but I had a chai for breakfast and a cappuccino for snack. I brought protein shake and naked smoothie for lunch/afternoon snack....We'll see how it goes.
14But thanks be to God, who in Christ always leads us in triumphal procession, and through us spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of him everywhere. 15For we are the aroma of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing, 16 to one a fragrance from death to death, to the other a fragrance from life to life. Who is sufficient for these things? 17For we are not, like so many, peddlers of God’s word, but as men of sincerity, as commissioned by God, in the sight of God we speak in Christ.
