21 Days to a Hunger-Free {and Healthy!} Holiday: (Final)Week 3- Bread
We are on the final week of the 21 days to a Hunger-Free {and Healthy!} Holiday! I have been such a bad cheerleader for you guys during this challenge. 
Last week’s trip to California to visit Candace Cameron Bure really put me off. (I’ll be posting all the details on that tomorrow!)
So I hope some of you are still on it, and if you aren’t, you can still make some great sacrifices for this final week towards the charity of your choice!
This final week we are talking about Jesus being our BREAD!
“Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.” John 6:35
Oh, we have such a hungry world, don’t we? We have it physically, as many in the states and across the world are without homes or food. We have people who have homes and cupboards full of food hungry in their souls. Such an irony, isn’t it?
The true filler of our soul –the bread–the sustenance of our lives is Jesus–the exact ‘reason for this season’!
“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life,and have it to the full.” John 10:10
I’d love to hear from you. At what point in your life did you realize that Jesus was the bread–the fulfillment–of what you needed? How did that impact how you shared with others? How did that impact what you turned to to replenish your soul?
Bloggers, link up below, everyone else, please comment! I’d love to know what you are learning, sacrificing, or sharing through this challenge!
I am still in! Exercise has just not happened but I am doing awesome with healthy eating! Have loved making healthy food choices and sacrificing what I would like to eat for what is better for me and the single mom I am doing this for. Story: On Saturday, I took a day trip about two hours away to visit family. I’ve done this trip many times and my “tradition” has always been to stop for McDonald’s on the drive home. Something about McDonald’s and driving is just, well, good. But on Saturday, I didn’t! I wanted to but I didn’t! I had protein bars in my purse, I ate one, drank water and had a great time of praise and worship in my car on the drive. When I got home, I had a bowl of chicken soup. While debating my decision — to McDonald’s or not to McDonald’s — I thought of my friend and her kids…I chose her and kept driving

Same here Aurora…but today I’m doing it!! I am eating more healthier, so that’s good. I love how you disciplined yourself and thought of your friend. Sweet!
Blessings,
Adrienne
BTW, clare I tried leaving a link to the linky tool but it kept saying the server error? Didn’t know if you knew that or not.
But here’s my blog link…www.myfaithandhealthjourney.blogspot.com
ok it worked by doing the download from file, if you do download from website it says the server error message. So it works if you download from your files.
Glad you’re in to the finish, too, Adrienne! Praying for a strong finish and a great blessing for the person or organization you are supporting with your sacrifice!
