Media fasting #2

Day 2

verse; John 13:36
purpose; follow only Jesus Christ and the course He gives you

Yesterday I had high fever. I couldn't concentrate on just the quiet time with God. The only thing I could do in yesterday's to do list was praying for the sick people around me. I text messaged the names to some brothers and sister. I was hoping they would join me too.

Today I felt a lot better. I caught a lot of sleep up. Chyeaa =D
I also had a phone conversation with Alex T. Normally I speak him through msn. But through the phone it was different (of course). We had a long talk about some subjects, which some of them made me kind of feel A LOT better ;D. One of them was; a basketball tournament was coming our way! wooot! I instantly had a adrenaline rush to step out of the bed and go outside shooting some hoops. That really made my day! (=
In the evening I had some conversations on the phone with Sammy (I call him smoothboy)and Elton (hadn't spoken him for ages) The conversations were about how we were doing during these days media fasting. It really lifted me up to go on and finish these 40 days (now 39).
Thanks, brothers from the same Father.

Oh yeah, yesterday I had only three push- ups (=. Yeah, I was kind of proud of myself for only cursing once. But today I had (for now) twelve push- ups. I was kind of mad, cause I received updates from the government about my study funds. They lowered it AND I won't receive anything in the month May and June. I became buck wild!
So yeah, twelve push- ups for me then. A well, now I can add some extra power to my arms for some long range bangers on the tournament. xP

to do list
- pray for people who've been sick lately (I have a new list. I will mail it)
- read the bible (I'm STILL somewhere at Luke)
- replace the 'media time' for time for family, friends or self discipline (training, basketball, dancing etc)
- maybe something will come up in my mind to do?

Guess I'll be going,

God bless you!

Media fasting #1

Day 1

verse; John 13:37
purpose; wait for God to move

Woke up at 2PM, I thought: 'aww men, the first day has arrived!'
Today is the first day of 40days of media fasting. That means no media/ hype thingies like Facebook, Twitter, Skype, MSN, television or gaming. I can't even watch basketball games.
'For what?', some people ask. Simple; nowadays, we are simply swallowed up by the media. Like we can't live without it.
If I clear up space and time to fast on media, I will have way more free time for other stuff.
First, I will have more free time with GOD. Second, more time will be cleared for FAMILY and FRIENDS. Third, I will have more free time to DO THINGS I NORMALLY DON'T HAVE TIME FOR.
I think it will be tough to hold on for 40days this long. But I'm not on my own and I ain't building on my own strength.. cause He is here for me.

My pastor has provided us a Youtube- playing list with worship songs. So luckily I don't have to search songs for myself.
I've got some songs myself too. For the ones who are also fasting or interested ones;

Lecrae - faithful
Lecrae - don't waste your life, featuring Cam & Dwayne Tryumf

and yes.. they are both from the genre rap.

to do list
- pray for people who've been sick lately (I too start to have a sore throat)
- read the bible (I'm somewhere at Luke, I think?)
- replace the 'media time' for time for family, friends or self discipline (training, basketball, dancing etc)
- sleep earlier, cause I can't watch NBA.
- maybe something will come up in my mind to do?

Want to add some little up here,
since I'm already busy with fasting on media, I just add a little self made fasting.
I want to fast on these two things too;
- cursing (yeah, I sometimes do that)
- cut off some slang (need to start to talk a little more formal)

I find cursing more negative than slang talk. So every time I curse, I'll add up 3 push- ups every word. (3 is the number of holy Trinity)

This was and will be my first day. I'm very interested how I will become after 40days without media, hahahahahahha. Very, very curious about it.
So yeah, I'm only available on my cell phone and mail. Oh, you can also leave a message behind here on blogspot.

Guess I'll be going,

God bless you!


*Edit; I became sick during the day )=

You just watch

I'm gonna be a better dad than you'll EVER BE!! Loser.
This I promise my mom and in the name of Jesus Christ.

Again

Tonight I went back to my basketball team Sanzektu to play again. I haven't played there since 2 months ago when I hurt my finger.
It was really nice to play again in an environment where I can get better and better.
But the downside was: my stamina was wáááy off. Guess it's time to pick it up again and raise it to the next level.
Gonna train harder!!
Wraaaahhhhhh ~

Good night y'all and hav' a blessed night rest!
