Easter is right around the corner & lent began last week. Growing up, Seventh Day Adventist, we never partook in lent. This year however, I felt led to give something up for the Lord. I decided to choose facebook. That following Sunday in church our pastor asked our congregation to fast once a week. Since I am nursing, I decided to give something else up in addition to facebook. So, once a week until then week before Easter (then twice a week) I will be giving up ALL electronics on Sundays! That’s right. No computer. No i-phone, no home phone, nada! I’m going to enjoy my family without any distractions or interruptions. I’m actually kinda excited. My older children have also decided to give something up. Taylor is not eating anything with sugar on Mondays. Tyler is also giving up sugar & electronics on Tuesdays. This week was their first week of this type of fasting & the experience was much more difficult than they imagined. Immediately they were able to experience a tiny bit of what Christ must have felt on the cross as He sacrificed His life for us! I pray that the Holy Spirit fills our bodies with His presences & the Lord works in us as we clear our minds & hearts to focus more on Him & less on the world.
God Bless!
