Rockbridge 4-peat

Well, today I'm going off to Rockbridge with a few people from Younglife and we're going there to pray for schools and the people in them. Not just from Roanoke, but all over Virginia! We're going to be there til tomorrow, and we are praying and fasting pretty much the whole time. I really like this idea, because it has many points in the Bible where people would be fasting and praying to God for whatever, and it will bring them closer to Him. Or, as Mat Kearney says, it pulls us Closer to Love.

I've never gone a whole day without eating. I've never gone a whole 2 free hours without eating. I thought at first that this was going to be a scary experience, because I don't know what I'm going to be like since I've never gone so long without food, but then I was told that we will be praying pretty much the whole time. That will definitely take my mind of the fact that we aren't eating.

I then also realized that a lot of my good friends, my brothers and sisters will be there with me. Going through the same things. Lord knows Zack has never been one to not eat :). I think that the presence of other people there will definitely help too, because it says in the Bible "Where more than one gathers in my name, I will be there" Or something to that extent. God's going to be with us all weekend long, and I know it. When God is there, all distraction from me seems to cease.

I'm just loving the fact that I am getting to opportunity to not only see the beautiful land of Rockbridge again, but the fact that I get to go up there with my brothers and sisters, and just be God's children with them. I honestly can not wait for this experience, because I think that it will change the way I look on some things.

That's all I got for you now.
Love you guys
