Survivor

Gonna cut down my environment into half or more/ less.
Imma gon' find out who will truely survive among real friends..
My apologies for doing this, but I'm really tired of backstabbers, 'friends' who you never talk to, don't even know you excist and I can go on and on and on..
And please don't ask me things like: 'why' or 'am I one of those'.. It has no use to know it and I don't want to explain it either..
All you have to know is.. I'm going to focus my attention on the 'survivors'

I'm going to do my own things and I will see what God has in mind for me..



Forgive me Lord, I know I aint livin' right

Media fasting #39

Day 39

verse; Isaiah 26:3
purpose; keep feeding your mind with His energy, wisdom and power and don't it get to starvation.

Today I was at my grandmother's house. I had a very nice fellowship with her during breakfast. I suggested to pray together for the food and she said ok. I said that I would pray in dutch. Then she said: 'but God doesn't understand dutch'. That just made my day! That seriously cracked me up. So I explained to her that God made the different languages. And I was still laughing.
My grandmother is so cute. May God really bless her.

Media fasting #38

Day 38

verse; Isaiah 40:26
purpose; open and turn your eyes and mind to God instead of your idol, your work or your own ways of doing things

Today I did my spiritual cleansing with my pastor. As I described it a few posts ago, it's like cleaning up your room. Your mind and body also need a cleaning from time to time. The spiritual cleansing does the cleaning in your mind and soul.
I feel refreshed to the maximum! Now I've got to keep it that way. Time to time I'll have to do this clean up. And I know sometimes the seduction will be too great and I will leave a mess again in my soul. But I know and pray to God that He will have mercy and patience with me, cause I'm just a human.

For this period of 40 days of media fasting, I set the rule of 3 push ups for every cursing word I say. I told myself it will not end this period. I'm going to keep doing this till.. I don't know.. maybe forever.. (=

to do list
- be the church!
- replace the 'media time' for time for family, friends or self discipline
- carry my cross

Over every thought
Over every word
May my life reflect
The beauty of my Lord

purpose; be exhausted for God.. be drained by others so they learn from Jesus Christ through you and make sure He is your supply of energy

Ok, today is the day that the big group of media fasting people ended their media fasting period of 40 days. I'm a little bit later done, Saturday 12th to be exact.

Media fasting #36

Day 36

verse; 1 Thessalonians 5:23
purpose; sanctification means a lot than we think.. we have to let every earthly thing go and completely focus on God's plan, ways and purpose.

Today I woke up early to go jogging. It was really nice, cause the sun was shining really bright! (=
When I paused for a moment during the excercise, I looked up the sun and I was thinking; 'God, You're so great! Why are You so great? Because You're so great!'
I smiled inside and I continued my morning excercise.
When I stepped out the shower, I was instantly fresh for the day! Let the search for a internship continues!

to do list

- replace the 'media time' for time for family, friends or self discipline

If you didn't know Christ, would ya life look the same?
Can they tell you value Jesus by the way you rep his name?

Media fasting #35

Day 35

verse; Luke 24:21
purpose; we won't get direct answers by praying to God; the purpose of praying is to understand and come closer to Himself.

This is my last week of media fasting. I think this week will be killing. For the most people, media fasting will end at the 9th or 10th of February. Mine will end at the 12th at 2PM.
But.. will everything be the same as it was before? Will I fall back to my old routine? Will I forget everything what God taught me in these 40 days?
I hope and I think not. Not if I keep praying and trusting in Him. Not if I rest on His power.
Something obvious (funny); most people will probably go to Facebook when their media fasting ends. But can you guess where I will go to on the internet when media fasting ends for me? Hahaha, yeahh.. I will go to NBA.com (=

to do list
- be the church!
- replace the 'media time' for time for family, friends or self discipline
- carry my cross
- spiritual cleansing
- maybe something else will come up in my mind to do?
- reading Proverbs

Guess I'll be going,

God bless you!


Right now I wanna say how much you've changed my ways,
when I look back on yesterday.

Media fasting #34

Day 34

verse; 2 Timothy 4:6
purpose; be ready at any moment to be a sacrifice for God and do His will

These last days I've been a little lost in my environment. I don't know what to do.
I don't know what I can do. Searching for an internship is very hard. Keeping everybody satisfied is also very hard. And I think the coming last week of media fasting will be very tough for some people.
All these aspects.. I need to bring it to God. I need to share it with Him, even if He already knows. He just wants me to bring it to Him and talk to Him about it.
And I will, because; Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened. Matthew 7:7
Amen to that!

to do list
- be the church!
- replace the 'media time' for time for family, friends or self discipline
- carry my cross
- maybe something else will come up in my mind to do?
- I'll be reading Proverbs according to the one-year-reading-plan

Guess I'll be going,

God bless you!


The world makes promises that it can't really keep, it'll always let you down. It's only temporary, only preliminary but Your love, it reaches all bounds.

Day 33

verse; Philippians 2:17
purpose; to serve God to the fullest, we sometimes have to serve others or sacrifice yourself for the work of others

For today I'm going to take time to do the spiritual cleansing- checklist.
Let's see what God reveals to me. Need to get rid off so much things in my life.
Need to cleans my body, mind and soul of those who are against Him. But it's going to be a hard battle. I have to fight those dark aspects, but not on my own.
In the Name of Jesus Christ, I will enter warzone and make war against the three enemies!
Amen!

Flesh feeling frisky, sin persuades and tempts me
Satan cheers me on, guilt followed by conviction
It's the same ol' trap and we fall like we defenseless

Media fasting #31

Day 31

verse; 1 Corinthians 4:13
purpose; in all times we have to stay friendly and bear everything.. especially in times we're going to be prosecuted, humiliated, insulted..

Today I met up with my little sister V. I haven't spoken to her for a long time. We met up at KFC and we updated each other about our daily media fasting. I really missed her and our conversations about everything that comes up in us. Especially about God. (=
Suddenly she took out a gift. It was belated christmas gift for me, because we haven't seen each other around Christmas. It was a new Bible!! Exactly what I wanted! A new international version. I really like it! Thanks, sis!
Since I've decided to read the whole Bible in one year, I will read it in this english one.



to do list
- be the church!
- starting to read the whole Bible in one year

Media fasting #30

Day 30

verse; 1 Corinthians 9:16
purpose; If God uses us, He will use us on His ways we can't understand.. let it be, cause He knows what's the best

Today we're going to talk about LOVE! What is love? What is true love?
Is love only about friendship? Family? Sex? Husband and wife? Love for your kids? Love for your neighbors?
No it isn't only about that. Real, true love goes deeper than that. True love is about loving the ones who hate you. True love is about loving your enemies. True love is about loving those who are prosecuting you. Love those who want to smack your face. Turn your other cheek and let them smack it again (Luke 6:29).
If you can achieve this level of love, then you're ALMOST about Jesus' level. Cause Jesus loved everyone! Even the ones who prosecuted Him. So how great can love be? How great can God be? Love is God and God is love! So THIS great can He be!

to do list
- be the church!
- starting to read the whole Bible in one year
- read the bible (I'm at Acts 25)

if You listen to my heart
Every beat would say;
"Thank You for the Life, thank You for the Truth, thank You for the Way"

Media fasting #29

Day 29

verse; 1 Corinthians 1:17
purpose; the main calling to us from Jesus Christ is not only to teach the Word, but to preach the Word

Today I decided I want to read the whole Bible in one year. It sounds very much, but with a Bible reading plan from www.discipleshipjournal.com and guidance from God, I will read the whole Bible in one year. I've printed out a schedulde; it says I have to read passages from two different books each day. I'm very curious if I could make it in one year. But I think with the help of God and some little self discipline, I can read His 66 love letters within 365 days! (=

We will never break, though they devastate, we shall motivate,
and we gotta pray, all we got is faith.
