Fasting day 2

Hey there everyone I hope things are going well for you! I know I am super pumped for youth group tonight. We have so many awesome things coming your way tonight.

1. Cornerstone University will be here tonight and they will be giving us ICE CREAM! So if you want some awesome ice cream and hear about a great college come tonight and listen to them for a little bit.

2. We are bringing back and old game where you can win straight up cash money! And its not what would you do for a dollar! But something that happens in MARCH. Think about it. mhmmmmmmmm

3. Tonight our very own Caleb is going to be speaking tonight! We start a new series called Elijah and tonight you are going to learn the back story to Elijah and its pretty stinking incredible.

So tonight is going to be amazing!

Also, for those who didn't know we are doing a 30 day fast in March. Yesterday we fasted from food for 12 hours, and today we are fasting from texting for 12 hours!

For those who are doing this fast let me give you a couple tips on how to get the most out of this fast.
1. If you aren't spending time reading your bible, praying, worshiping, sitting in silence before God, journaling, ect.....during the times when you would be eating or texting. Your results from this fast are going to MICRO! The entire point of this fast is to connect with God during the times you would be doing whatever item we are fasting from. EXAMPLE: Today if you think about texting, say pray to God thanking Him for something or someone, if you receive a text message open up your bible and read a chapter. If we are solely counting down the minutes till whenever we are able to do whatever we are fasting from, this whole fast is going to be pointless! So please please please take the time to seek out Christ during the times of fasting!

I hope that tip helps you get more out of this fast!

Hope to see you tonight.

P.A.
