The sleep deprived rambles of Angelina as she sits at Jesus' feet
I don't have a lot of time to blog so this is going to have to be pretty short. My body is slowly adjusting to staying up at night. When I say slowly I mean it literally. It's been hard going to sleep at 6 am when the sun rises and then in the darkest hours of the night being up and praying. But it is because I'm up during the darkest hours in the night that I've been really starting to understand what it means to say "Jesus be my strength in my weakness". Last night was extremely difficult for me. It was a fasting day so I decided to give it a try. I managed to spend most of the "day", that for me being 2pm to 1am, living off one banana but once the 1am mark hit I couldn't take it anymore and had to devour a sandwich and whatever else they had for us. It was so hard to be up and not having food because I couldn't concentrate and everything hurt and I felt like I was about to drop down and just fall asleep. All I could do was repeat over and over in my mind "Jesus, you be my strength". Now I'm not going to tell you that all of a sudden I was filled with miraculous energy and proceeded to do back flips around the prayer room. Definitely not! I sort of trudged my way through the rest of the night only able to worship. I wasn't able to study my Bible or anything profound but I know that last night was special because God began to place so many of you on my heart and all I could do was pray. I'm starting to get a bit homesick but I know I'm supposed to be here right now even though it feels like BIBLE BOOT CAMP. READ THAT BIBLE DO IT DO IT DO IT!! haha totally joking its all about grace but when your body aches and you need toothpicks to keep your eyes open you feel very very rebellious. It's dinner in about half an hour so I'm off. I love and miss you all please call me or send me letters. I have a phone!! woohoo
