Media Fast

About 2 weeks ago I was feeling completely lost spiritually... Seriously, I had awesome quiet times that week and was spending so much time in the word, but I felt LOST! Have you ever felt that lost?!

I decided I was going to fast from tv, movies, music, internet (except for work) and especially social media. So, when I got to church I started praying about it and well, I asked my students to do this fast with me... An amazing thing happened.... THEY DID IT! Not all of it, but most of them gave up facebook for a week and a half! Yeah, that's right... 6-12th graders gave up facebook! It was awesome to see it!

I gave up everything... it was so hard! I've watched tons of movies in the last 2 days... The time alone at home with just a book was time that I loved... I even left my computer at work! I think I'm going to do that at least once a week!

I feel so close to God now that I went through that!

I hope sometime in the future you are able to give up somethings to get closer to God in a new way!
