In the Bible, God does something called fasting. Fasting is when you go without something for however long your called to. So laying in my bed and praying about my time in Africa, and I heard very clearly to fast from meat for the next 3 days. My first thought was seriously? and Why would I do that. I ignored it for a couple days, a few days later at worship I heard the lord say, “do not doubt me, fast from meant for the next 3 days.” I kept thinking to myself, this is going to be really hard because meat is really good and protein is much needed in my life to survive.
Day 1. Felt really nervous about it a first, for one I did NOT want to fail and for two the challenge was really hard because I just so happened we had meat for 3 meals for the 3 days so seeing it was really hard. Before dinner I went to the cooks in the kitchen and told them I would be fasting from meat and they were in shock because we were having pizza for dinner, which has meat on it, and they made me a whole personal pizza with all veggies on it, it was nice having my own pizza and it want bad either.
Day 2. felt pretty good about it, having one day down in the ground and one more to go it was in the bag. It began to haunt me and lead me to pray whenever I wanted to eat meat, so I found myself praying a whole lot than usual.
Day 3. The last day was easy, I had done something that I thought I would never do or even think of doing. I can do hard things!
