Today as I was working out, I was thinking about my plans for tonight. I wasn't even really thinking about our famine coming up. Then my mind wandered to it. I was thinking about how the youth decided this year to give to places that are educating others to help them become self sufficient. I'm really proud of them for the effort and thought they put into it. I also thought about how we use the 30 hours to not only raise money but also awareness of poverty and problems the world faces. Then, as my mind continued to wander, I thought about how the 30 hours is not just a fundraiser, but also a time to help the participants discover new things and new ways to experience God and help the world around them by using their gifts this year.
That's when it hit me. I've been struggling to come up with a theme for this year. I'd sat down several times and come up with a few that were ok. But, nothing jumped out at me. But, as I thought about the 3 goals of this year's famine- Education, Awareness, Transformation- I realized the 1st letter of each word spelled a key word of fasting. Our official theme/ slogan of this year's famine is "Let's EAT!" Let's Educate! Let's create Awareness! Let's Transform ourselves and others!
So, where was God today? He gave me that to focus on.
Blessings,
Jennifer
