I wasn't exactly sure why I was prompted by my Lord to do this 72 hr fast in the beginning but as I am closing in on the last hours I have gained a greater appreciation for our savior, Jesus. For a long time I have been trying to grasp even a little of the pain that he went through for everybody, but I just never really felt anything. Yes, I saw Passion of the Christ and it was moving and all but it didn't make me feel what He went through. The weather here has been in the 90's the first two days I fasted. I went for walks with my son both days and I just kept picturing Jesus walking through the desert for 40 days with nothing to eat. Three days has seemed like a struggle. I definitely have a greater appreciation for my Lord now. What a humbling and wonderful experience!! Hallelujah! Praise be to the one and only God!!
