Living in the Sun

Wow day 9 of 21. I started this fast with one idea and it has totally changed I am happy about it but not for what you may think. So my ultimate goal as is the the churches as a whole is to focus on God and get closer to God. I decided to give up meat and no added sugar. When I started with that goal it was because I always say I have to have my meat daily so I was just proving i could do it and the fast gave me a reason. Then the day before the fast begun the sermon was on the purpose of the fast and that its about discipline not food. I decided to look at the reason that i don’t read my devotionals daily, For me its time. So what can i change to have more time identify and eradicate the time thieves.  The biggest is social media. So my journey along with the food i added no social media. I don’t know when but i went from making sure there was no animal product in what i ate to focusing on relationships. Then a break through, my prayers don’t have to be between me and God but maybe I should share it with the person i am praying for. Not just tell them I am praying for them but show them give them a prayer. I have always prayed for people but it was kind of a thing that i kept to myself kinda like a hidden gem that i didn’t want to share. In talking with someone about a dilemma they were having i decided to share that they were brought to my mind and heart so much so that i felt the need to pray a special prayer for them and share it with them. Words hold power so i try to be positive and will remember that i don’t want to muddy up the most powerful tool I have, my mouth with negativity. (yes i just made the connection) God has more for me and will reveal more when he see’s i am ready. But wow i can’t wait for the next 2 weeks.
