30 Hour Famine

So this Friday we are doing the 30 hour famine at youth group. It should be good fun.
Though the purpos of the famine is to raise money to support word vision and rais money for poor countreys, i decided to take a look at fasting.
I don't know how accurate my comprehension is on the subject, but this is what I've learned. People fast because they long for somthing spritually, and feal deprived, there for deprive them selves of of somthing physically. In this case being food. During meal times or waht ever instead of eating people take this time to pray and read there bibles ectera. Also people do things like media fasts. Like instead of watching t.v or talking on msn and such that time is spent with God.
So I am deciding to put my new gained knowlege into practice while i do the 30 hour famine tomorow.
I am bringing my bible to school and to Soup kitchen and every time my stomach growels or i crave food or feel hungry- i am going to try to read a bible passage and pray.
Even if I am completly off on my idea of what fasting is, I think this will be a good idea for me tomorow. Every time I feel deprived of food, i will go to the bread of life.
AMEN!
