Join Us Tonight for the 2Weeks of Nothing Kick Off!

Thoughts by Senior, Lyssa Barth: Well lets be real about this…when I first heard that we were doing a fast I was not that excited. Fasting? I had no real idea what that even meant….if I remembered correctly it was a whole bunch of religious dudes not taking a bath and starving themselves so that they could win a war….or something. But then as David, one of our campus ministers, began to talking about the what, why, and when of the fast that I began to think, and of course that’s when it happened…you know that moment that you have heard something your entire life but for some reason it never really clicked in your head. Well that’s when it clicked. Fasting was more than just not eating chocolate or limiting my t.v. time till Easter, or giving the pennies I find in between my couch cushions. It’s so much more, and I GET to do this awesome thing with my community and for my other community in Peru. So now I am getting prepared, and to be honest it’s hard to choose something. You know what I mean….do I commit or do I COMMIT? Do I give up that bag of Doritos in between my classes every once in a while, OR do I give up my weekly root beer and chocolate bar that I HAVE TO HAVE. Why not both? Hahaha I think as I type this I know my answer. So instead of my junk food rush every other day…I am saving for Peru! So come on and dive in! Come on and COMMIT with us! When we are obedient God is faithful, and I know through this God is going to do some BIG things.
