Hungry.
Have you ever been so hungry that you walk to the refrigerator, pantry and kitchen shelves in hopes of the perfect meal to satisfy your taste buds? Have you ever done that time after time after time (in one day) hoping that (supernaturally) something new and different will suddenly appear in the shelves or the cupboard space of that kitchen?

We had workshops, purity talks, experiments, hikes, etc. One project included each girl carrying a back pack filled with a few large rocks. The girls had to walk around the entire weekend with these (during lunch time, runs, chat time, etc.) in order for them to experience the feeling of carrying a burden (literally).

We cannot expect to grow more as an individual learning to live a life pleasing to Him if we are ignoring the very true, real and literal words that He has given us to live by (a.k.a the BIBLE). God will truly give you the desires of your heart, but will you commit to leading a life to the words prior to such?
