Day 20

I know I haven't blogged in a few days so I will have to catch everyone up...

Today is day 20 of the liquid fast and the Lord has been so sweet to me. I am hardly ever hungry which is so nice and I have lost 10 lbs which is such a blessing. This time has been so amazing with me and the Lord. I am learning how to run to Him for just about everything. The first few days of the fast were the hardest and I actually found myself running to Him in prayer and the Word when I got hungry. I have seen the Lord provide significantly as well.

As you know, I will be going to South Africa this summer with Campus Outreach for six weeks. The team and I have to raise $5, 500.00 each. Already the Lord has provided $1, 450. It has been amazing to see the Lord use people that I wouldn't have expected to give (or wouldn't have expected to give as much as they did). Many of the people that have given have been stepping out on faith, knowing that the Lord will be faithful to them for being faithful to give. And I pray that these promises remain true. I pray that the Lord bless them 100x what they gave.

Other than that, my Spring Break is this week. And as usual, it will be spent at work...surprise, surprise. However, Friday and Saturday I am going to a Children's Literature Conference with mom at UGA.

Oh, and we had our first meeting for those interested in going to England next year. SO that was exciting....Got to start saving my pennies! :)
