Today is the first of my 40-day fast. I'm doing TV, movies, video games, facebook, and sugar. It so far hasn't been challenging at all, but day one rarely is. God told me this morning in the shower that this fast is going to be a lot about filtering. I'm filtering my physical body for one, by not consuming sugar. I'll be filtering my mind by eliminating the TV all together and Facebook (which is huge for me). And as a result, I'll be filtering my heart by spending time with my Father. Its interesting to me how God rearranges our lives when we let him. God changed my life this past summer, and it seems like since then, he's been rearranging things the way he wants them. Not to further my own agenda, but to further His Kingdom and His righteousness. As a steward of the Kingdom, I have a responsibility to make sure that God is having his way in me, and that I'm not living within my own means. Jesus is coming for a pure bride, not one who is pursuing her own wants. How are we making sure that happens?
I may update later, but for now I'm gonna go get some food and Jesus time.
