Recently I participated in the 30 Hour Famine through World Vision, which was where we had to fast for 30 hours to raise awareness of hunger and poverty, to experience what its like to go hungry, to not know when your next meal is going to be.
It wasn't easy but I knew that I was making a difference. We were only allowed to eat bread and drink water and juice, which only made us hungrier,
I did have some thoughts during the whole process. The fast gave me some time to think about things, so here are some of the thoughts that I had:
1. "Wow that pizza sure smells good"
2. "I should probably avoid photos of food today"
3. "Girl stop taunting me with those fries"
4. "So this is what its like to skip dinner"
5. "I can't imagine what these kids are going through"
6. "Those poor kids"
7. "I wish I could feed send my food to them"
8. "I kinda want to go to Africa now"
9. "Okay avoiding the cafeteria today"
10. "I'll just do homework to distract myself"
11. "Man its so hard to focus in class"
12. "So hungry"
13. "Must block the smell of food"
14. "Can't give in"
15. "Those videos of those kids are so sad"
While everyone may have different thoughts during their experience, those are the thoughts I had. If you choose to do the famine, then it is an amazing experience one that you will never forget we raised so much money that day it was awesome.
