Fasting.

Hi Everyone,

I have been praying for quite some time about fasting social media, and I clearly got the answer in my spirit to step back from it for a moment and spend more time with God. I haven't been inspired to write for some time now and I believe it is because I am distracted and although this is a good distraction because it glorifies His name, it is a distraction none the less. I spend more time looking at my iPhone and computer screen than I do my Bible. And that's me being honest with you. I feel disconnected from actual living because I'm not present in the moment; my eyes are down the majority of the time. It's not spiritually healthy and I know that. So, I simply want to put Jesus first and foremost in my life again, and deepen my relationship with Him. I do not know how long the fast will be, I won't put a time limit on it, it's whenever God says it's right. Until then please know that I am keeping you all in my prayers and I truly do thank you for supporting my online ministry. I never knew that was what it would become. It started out as just a forum to share my poems, writings, etc. and it became a ministry for Jesus. I couldn't be more grateful for that. I truly love writing for Him. Once my priorities are correct again, Him being my main focus, and in first place, I believe I will resume writing. Until then....

God bless you, and keep growing with Jesus. It's a non-stop journey for all of us as Christians; a beautiful journey, and one in which we grow by being refined. Allow that spiritual refining process to happen as it should. God is working in each of us and His work never stops and He promises that He is faithful to complete that work.

"And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue His work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns." -Philippians 1:6

You're a work in progress; trust the process.
He knows what He is doing even when we don't. Sending my love.
