Hunger + Thirst



So, both Jeff and I are on our second day of a food challenge with our Church. From Monday through Friday of this week, we are eating only beans, rice, bland oatmeal and water (generaly from the tap). We are doing this to stand in soladarity with those around the world who eat that every day of their lives.....


... and I have to say, I am struggling. I am grumpy, and I feel like I have little hope. I will confess my hoplessness comes from not being able to engage in a fun answer to "whats for dinner" tonight... or "ooo, that m&m bowl looks yummy" or "No COFFEE?!?!?".


To be short, I am overwhelmed by how blessed I am. And I wish I could say that my revelation has created a sense of thankfulness... but really, I am still grouchy... maybe tomorrow?


Check out the website for what we are doing.... :)
