Day 4
verse; John 14:9
purpose; only by knowing someone intimately, you can really know each other.. the same goes for knowing the Lord Jesus Christ
The verse of today really hangs on to me. Do I really know Jesus? Do I really know what He wants? Do I really understand what He wants from me?
Guess I'll have to find out by 'hanging out' with Him for one full day. Any other brother or sister who follows this, wants to join? =P
Cause only by talking with a friend and knowing the one, will increase close relationship. So does the relationship with Jesus.
Today was my last 'official' school day. That means I only have to do some assignments and a internship and I'm finished with college (dutch HBO). What to do next? University? Guess I'll have to ask Jesus for guidance and His plans for me.
What else to do today? Later I'm off to dancing and basketball (after missing a couple of weeks). Then I'm off to a party (Legends) to hang out with friends.
Media fasting is really clearing up space and time for socializing! I'm beginning to like this. I think Jesus will like it too.
to do list
- find a new way for quiet time
- find a open day to go intimate with Jesus
- read the bible (I'm at Luke 15, think I will read some in the train too)
- 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!
Stay focused if you ain't got no ride
your life ain't wrapped up in what you drive

Media fasting #3
Day 3
verse; Genesis 12:8
purpose; take the time to give God the best you have, cause He gave you the best
The whole day I had ICT course at school. 5 hours long behind the computer, while I was media fasting. Luckily it was a school assignment, so I was kind of busy.
I'm really getting used to this media fasting. I've got a lot more time for family, friends and of course more time for sleep. =P
Today went kind of fast, didn't do much.. So this update is and will be short.
to do list
- find a new way for quiet time
- read the bible (I'm at Luke 14)
- 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!
Armed and dangerous
so the devil just can't handle us

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!
