The Fast

Tomorrow begins our fast from TV, movies, and the ultimate time suck for me, Facebook!!  Our pastor has challenged the church to a 21 day fast.  To take something away that is keeping us from growing closer to God.  Some people choose to take away caffiene, or meat, or alcohol.  Food for me doesnt take away from my time with God.  It's things that suck time out of my day that I could have spent reading my bible, or doing a bible study, or just praying.  TV shows. Movies. And Facebook. 

I'm not saying ooohhhh Television is evil, dont watch it!  And i'm not boycotting Facebook.  This is about focusing on Him. And realizing I need to spend more time with the Lord and growing in Him.  I'm not going to parade around saying I'm awesome because I'm not watching tv. I just want everyone to know what's up and why i'm not on facebook ;)  I'm spending time with Jesus!! :) and my family. 

I'll still be blogging so everyone can stay updated on our little family!  Blogging doesnt steal near as much time as facebook! haha.  Why is it that I can spend hours just scrolling through people's status updates?! It drives me crazy but I keep doing it!!! 

So if you want to see what we're up to just join our blog! I wont be posting links to new blog posts and I know you'll want to see pictures of Caden ;) 

Love Yall and I hope you have a great week!!!

  2. That's awesome Jessi! Do you have any particular study in mind that you are going to do during the 21 days? I have read several GREAT books lately that I would love to recommend if you are looking for something. Call me if you want and I can tell you about a couple of them. I know you will be soooo blessed by this time with God however you decide to spend it. Enjoy!
