God > Food

OK so i had the weirdest revelation today in the Tin Cathedral (our lovely chapel) anyways we where having a debrief today and I was thinking about food. if any of you don't know i have a crazy high metabolism and i have to eat like every 2 hours or my belly stares growling. well this weekend we had very little to eat and the last day of our trip i was STARVING and so looking forward to a huge meal when we got back to came. i kept hoping and hoping it was what kept me going. We finally packed up camp and where headed out but we didn't know. we weren't told we were going home or where we where going but something in the back of my mind said we were. and that hope kept getting bigger. by we got out of the cars i was about to burst (we had blind folds on the whole car ride.) and when we got back it was so exciting just to eat food. food is trivial and simple but it taught me a strong lesson about how i need to be hoping about God. that i should be yearning and hoping excited to enter into gods kingdom and into rest from this rough world. sometime i forget how powerful hope can be it really drives and that how i should be looking home. this place is just a blip but God is eternal.

Not sure if any of my story makes sence but it was really powerfl how it just hit me like a truck and i wanted to  share it with you
