Fasting and Prayer

Nothing was ringing through my mind when I 1st heard about these words, I thought I wouldn't have to do it at all...... Until, Friday, 16th March, it was my 1st time attending HOME (Act church) (another secret on this days was I almost got into a bad car accident, Thank God for letting me go for He know I got HOME to go to :) ). There I was, of course always the quiet one and always needed someone to start a conversation, well, Thank God, always being so good to me. The welcome was very the warm and it really remind me of "Urban Life" back in OZ.

As the HOME goes on, they started talking about fasting and praying because Acts church is now having an event known as "U-turn" which will start the next day and goes on for the next 21 days. As noob as I am :), I did not fully understand the meaning, but then there was an urge to do it. Knowing my limit, I agreed to do just a "partial-meal" fast which fast from 7am-7pm (btw, the timing does not necessary have to be 7am-7pm). Of course, the next day, I manage to do it but something did not actually felt quite right.

It was until the next Sunday morning when I finally understand the meaning of fasting and praying, thank to the awesome speaker in Acts church!! It is all about removing distraction in life that have been blocking God, just to get closer to God. This is went I finally decided to cross that limit of mine, and decided to fast everything that had been distracting me from God. As much as I still unsure of what lies ahead in the future and how much I actually capable of doing this, I guess this is one of those time to get as close as I can get with God :)

Arigato Gozaimasu, Lord!!!
