I’m so hungry…for God. One of the biggest lessons I have learned so far during this 40 day food fast has been how to be hungry for God. I have learned that if I can be this hungry for food then I NEED to be even more hungry for God. I have always been really good about keeping God in everything that I do, but I am loving this time with Him. I love that in everything I do I take Him along and ask Him loads of questions. I spend time loving on Him and receiving love from Him. I have had to learn how to receive love from Him even though I don’t “feel” it. 

What I have discovered about God’s love is that it is ever present. I know that isn’t anything new, but I have seen His love in a deeper way. I have seen Him be faithful in times where I have been unfaithful. I have seen His love for people when they are acting completely against Him. I have seen His passion for the lost and I have loved to see them grow and find Him. His love for us is so consistent and constant. He loves us beyond measure. He loves us greater than we can ever fathom. I love the idea that God’s love in inexplorable. It cannot be explored enough. I love that I have all my life and eternity to find out how and why God loves me so much. 

Thank you for your love Father,

It is day 13 of my fast and I have been lousy at documenting this, but there really hasn’t been anything for me to write about. It is typically the same every day- hunger, tiredness, seclusion etc. Although my hunger has been diminishing over the past few days I am just choosing to ignore it. At this point I really don’t care if I am hungry I just want God to be my hunger. I can’t seem to get Jesus’ words out of my head, “Man cannot live on bread alone, but by every word of God.” Luke 4:4  I have a peace when I realize that this isn’t about me wanting to eat, but a deciding factor to live on each of God’s words.

So, then I began a quest today. What is every word of God? Sure it’s referring to scripture, but it’s also referring to the spoken word of God into us. I can only tell you that every day is different and every minute can change. BUT one thing remains the same the love. The one word that will never change in the heart of God that we must learn to live off of is love. His love beats for us as steady and consistent as our hearts. Every pump of our heart flows life into our mortal bodies, but every pump of God’s heart flows an eternal love that we can have now. This eternal love never fails. This love casts out fear, confusion, anxiety and impatience. So the word that I am feeding on today is love. I will eat up the love of God by acknowledging his goodness, faithfulness, and compassion today. God is love.

God, let your love pour down and shine down on us this day and every other. May we learn how to receive your goodness and joy at this present moment.
Amen

A few months ago Drew asked me to write an article for a Student Life newsletter that they were creating. Well I’m excited to tell you the newsletter finally came out. It may not seem like that big of a deal, but I guess this newsletter goes out all over the United States, so it is a big deal to me! heh If you want to check it out click here. My article is called “Choices”, so that should help you find it. I’m pretty proud of what God is doing in my heart. He is always faithful and trustworthy. I am so glad that I have the Holy Spirit to guide me into all truth. Thank you for this article Holy Spirit.

Thanks everyone!

After a month or so since my last post I’m back! I am currently bloggin on another site as well, so if you want to check it out feel free. The blog is about two other guys and myself on a 40 day solid food fast. This isn’t about bragging or trying to get attention. We want people to be inspired about what God can do when we dedicate ourselves to Him. So far I have been fasting for 4 days, and God has already done amazing things. I can’t wait to see what develops, but check out the site…  FastEnough

On to other things…

This is my son, Bonsai, who is a Jack Russell. Some of you may know him, but I thought this video was too funny not to share. Sorry there is no audio, but you can pretend your own special effects! Watermelon vs. Bonsai

Enjoy! 

Hey everyone! 

I am sorry I haven’t been posting anything. This whole month will probably be empty up here because I don’t have a computer. Please leave me your email and I will shoot you an email when I get things back up in August. I have been doing and experiencing a lot in God, so there will be good stuff on the way!

It has been almost a month since I stopped shaving and got my mohawk. Here are two recent ones.

Hey Everyone…
I just wanted to introduce you to Cracker, our gnome. We picked him up on our way across country. So far he has been to Arizona, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, North and South Carolina, and Virginia. Soon he will go with us to DC for his final stop. These are only a few pics of him. The rest can be found in the Photo section of this site. Click here to see more!
