I am staring down an entire week of Rice and Beans. I am not really sure if I am registering that as a complaint because I have never eaten rice and beans for an entire week before. I am sure at some point when I am forcing myself to eat rice and beans for breakfast I am not going to 100% enjoy it, but I believe that the spiritual benefits this week are going to far out weigh the discomforts.
The girls and I went to the store and we bought rice, and several different kinds of beans. (Because you have to have variety in beans, right?) They are excited to try it out. Again, I am not sure that they will be excited as the week goes on. I am trying to include them in the process as much as possible. We have pinned several recipes on pinterest to try, and I am going to let them help me with the cooking.
I am praying right now that the Lord speaks to my heart, and the heart of my family this week. That the money we donate from this fast is put to good use. I am praying for the hearts of the families that are walking down this road with us. I am praying for the thousands of people that are going to be helped from this project. That they know that we did this out of love.
Right now I am feeling excited to start, and excited to be a part of something that will bring love and care to so many pepople. I will let you know as the week goes on what I am feeling. But for today I will leave you with this!
"God's kingdom isn't about eating and drinking. It is about pleasing God, about living in peace and about true happiness. All this comes from the Holy Spirit." Romans 14:17
