The hardest thing I seem to do is fast. I tried fasting from sweets and it lasted only a week. I tried fasting from soft drinks and just drinking water, but that only lasted about three days. Then I tried fasting from food for a certain amount of hours per day, that didnt work either.
But then God spoke to me and told me that I wasn't to fast from certain food and drink items, but I was to fast from pleasurable things that I felt I needed to use daily. He told me in plain english that I needed to fast from all the social networking sites I use *Insert sad face here* . Yep, this is true. I am on facebook and twitter far too much.
When I learned that I needed to fast from these things, I immediately tried to look for a substitute to fast from instead. But nope, the Holy Spirit kept tapping me on my shoulder telling me that I needed to fast from social networking sites. The hardest thing to admit is that I am addicted to these sites*Insert sad face here*.
The first step to recovery is admittance, and I am admitting, that I am addicted to social networking. At first, I made excuses to myself about it. "Noooo, I am not addicted. Twitter and Facebook are so easy to stay connected, I can find out news coverages, new movies that are coming out, what's hot with celebrites, if I need a laugh...blah blah blah". All of these are irrelevant reasons as of why I (or anybody for that matter) need to constantly stay on a social networking site all day, every day, via blackberry or PC.
So with all of this being said, I am logging out of Facebook and Twitter until the Lord tells me so. It might be never because I really am starting to believe that Facebook is the devil *insert serious face here*. Of course, I am going to share my blog with facebook, and every other site because I want to offer encouragement through my blog. So please pray for me while I fight this fight. And do this fast. Pray for me and I will pray for you.
