Food

What do you get like when you don't get food? Do you become cranky? Angry? Tired? Depressed?

I know that if I don't have food, I become extremely tired and out of engery. I have a high metabolism and can go through energy rather quickly.

This week I have been sitting in meetings. 8 am to 10 pm. lunch. dinner. meetings.
Meetings are one of my weakest points. If you asked my close friends they would tell you I hate meetings. Very much so, but I did it. It was an amazing week, I learned tons, was a little bit restless but not tired. I wasn't tired at all. I was full of life. Actually, I talked more in this week than I normally ever talk.
I started off everyday with God. Right after breakfast I spent time with God, in his Word.

Today I did not have time with God.
All day I have been so tired. Very drained.

Psalm 1:2-3 But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on His law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by the streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither.

How desperate and dependent for God are we? Can you go a day without spending time with God? I hope you say no.

confession and repentance

"Coness and repent. Satan's accusations carry a sting because they usually contain a certain fraction of truth. So go ahead, get violent. Confess your sin, call it in its worst terms, and repent of it. So what if it's the umptennth time? I know who I am. I am not a sinner who struggles to love God; I am a lover of God who struggles with sin. I am primarily a lover of God, not a sinner. That is my bottom-line identity. So, I will do violence one more time to any known sin or compromise and confess it freely to God, receiving His forgiveness." -Bob Sorge

These last four months I have confessed and repented more than the sum of my life thus far. It may get so tiring and annoying, but I have more freedom this year than I have had thus far in my life.

I have never been as hungry for God as I am now. It is a deep hunger, burning deep in my bones.
