Faithful God
I have been searching for a home church and went to a place called the OVERFLOW in Benton Harbor. I felt so at home, it felt right. My first day there they were taking about a 21 day fast they were beginning as a church. So I felt it upon my heart to do it. I have never fasted anything before in my life and I had always seen a fast as from food. But what I learned is that there are different kinds of fasts from food all the time, food in the daylight hours, from meat, or really anything. So I felt the desire to fast from my facebook. Some people may not see the importance in it. But I often fill my free time with facebook. I am a single mother and so my time at night when the girls are in bed can be relaxing yes, but lonely. SO I would go to facebook, if I am angry about something I would take it to facebook, sad or happy, the same. Why was I not going to God in these times. Why was I not finding more time for Christ in these times of my life or just because. The first week was pretty easy the second week was okay, there were times I almost actually went to facebook and I quickly reminded myself not too. The last week I would think things in my head like I need to check messages or get some pictures off, but I never did because the thought that came to my head is "God you are faithful to me I am going to be faithful to you" I continued to tell myself to be faithful to Christ.
So this time of year is a very stressful time for me, Bills seem to just stack, and I cant remember the last time I really went grocery shopping. But Every time in the last couple of weeks I would begin to worry I would remind myself I don't have to worry for God ALWAYS has provided for me and he ALWAYS WILL! So yesterday I remember saying over and over in my car Miki your faithfulness for Christ he see's he is faithful in his word and he will provide. Needless to say when I got out of work I got an email that confirmed that to be so. God is faithful!
When you are going through something go to HIM, don't go to the things of the world that may cause a temporary feel good.
Spend more time in the word, don't know what to read, down load several devotional app's that has been a go to for me lately. I also have spent so much time in worship just blazing it. God will move and work through you. Be blessed be faithful!
