Day 12: Getting Homesick


In correlation with this time, I've taken up reading A Hunger for God by John Piper on the recommendation from a mentor.

For Laura and I, this time is considered fasting (although a nontraditional method), and I think the book will help me process along the way. I have not read too far yet, but I love how Piper begins the Introduction.

Here is the very first sentence:

"The birthplace of Christian fasting is homesickness for God."


This is profound. Still, in all honesty, I know that I don't yet know what that means. I suppose that is part of the journey.
