Fasting…
It’s been 19 hours since I last ate, and I’m feeling quite ‘high’ from the lack of food.
Why am I fasting? It’s my church’s Prayer and Fast week so my CG has decided to fast together for 24 hours (hmm I guess I started early) and pray about things that we want to committ to the Lord. Bear aptly puts it in his latest SMS to encourage us:
"It’s lunch time. Don’t forget to not eat. It’s around 13 hours of non eating, guess some of us are tempted to eat. Jesus was tempted by the devil to eat when He was fasting too. Do let us pray for each other. Fasting is indeed just an outward sign of humility, but if we are fasting with right reasons, fasting also does remind us among other reasons, that God is the One who provides us with food everyday and the One who gives us breath."
It means a lot, especially when Bear himself is the most hardcore foodie among all of us. I left my wallet back in the office today when I went to meet up with Emily and Crystal for ‘lunch’ — we ended up reminiscing — and yeah, the day seems to pass really slowly. It doesn’t help that my colleague is eating and I’m smelling the tomato sauce from her food… Still, I’ll persevere. With lots of wind from my gastric = FART hurhurhur.
Things that I’m praying about:
-
New job opportunities
-
Family health
-
My cousin, Jia Hui
-
My brother who’s studying overseas
-
Adam and I
-
More people to step forward to serve in church
-
The Youths
-
Thai Mission Trip
There are a lot more things to pray for, but I’ll focus on these points… My brain is functioning at only 20% with all the lack of food.
May all of you have a blessed weekend ahead!
