Sunday, February 18th, my group leader in our deaf/hearing group. He signs about fasting, new skin and wine, old skin and wine. Ask us how it apply to our life. We had our discussion about fasting, how fasting from something can be different ways. After I left the group and walked home, I asked God, what can I fast, He stated plainly....go without Facebook for 1 week and use your time for something that mean worthwhile.
So starting Monday's morning.....woke up and open up the YouVerison app and read my devotionals, normally I would go on Facebook right after reading my devotionals/Bible but because I made an agreement with God that I will go 1 week without it. It was tough.....because I'm a very social person. I love to interact with people, comment on their posts, ask how they're doing, laughs at videos that was funny, smile at videos that is cute, felt touch by videos that move me, see pictures that is posted and reacted with an emotion button and sometime comment on it. Normally people would post if they need prayer warriors, me I'm definitely all over that. Not only because I love to talk to God but these people matter to me and that I pray for them because they need it. The love, support, and care that we can provide for them. Hearing it either by pm or public....not only lift the soul/spirit but also knowing that that person care enough to respond.
Since I started it on Monday.....because I'm not more total focus on Facebook but on other things that do make my time worthwhile....I felt spiritual attack in my dreams. Dreams normal don't scared me unless it's devil that want to keep me from getting more closer to God. I would be reading my Bible more then I normally do.....talking to God 2 hours or more at the most because I'm not only talking but writing in my journal everything I'm saying to Him as well as write poems that He lay on my heart. I simply loves poem and Abba knew that because He send some to my heart to write down. I haven't written music to it because I don't know exactly how to do that. Maybe someday God will show me how or maybe someone else will step in and create one for it. I just need to watch for His direction.
Second day without Facebook.....just starting to get used to it. I would reply to anyone pm in Facebook messenger. If someone is playing the game like words with Friends I would play that with them. I would post pictures in "My Story" in the messenger, just sharing what I'm doing for the day, what things inspired me. I played my Native flute.....oh the joy.....not only is it soothing, but it's almost like resounding deep within me. As a little girl......I would play my grandma's keyboard that plays different music instruments, I would choose the flute every time. Then I would hear someone play the flute I heard on the keyboards.....it was too high for me, didn't want that kind of flute. I didn't realized at the time there was more flutes then one that I heard. It wasn't until I heard Native American flute in a movie Windwalker (1980) and fell in love with that sounds. I didn't know I can get one until a year ago. So I got one and started to play it. I'm getting better at playing as long as I keep practicing it. *I laugh* Even when I brought to work with me and plays it during my break....kids love it. That makes me happy. I might be a natural musician, but I do believe that everyone is a musician if they chose to be or they can be singer either by song or just spoken words. Just chose what's best that feel right for whatever you decide. For me, I would think singing help up lift my spirit but it also humbled me before Elohim, because of who He is not because of me. Plus what's in the heart matters then the singing.....El looks for that.....the heart that seek Him and want to be humbled before Him. As the verse say.....Psalms 34:18, "The LORD is near to those who have a broken heart, And saves such as have a contrite spirit." and I found another verse relate to this and it brings joy to my heart....."Psalms 10:17, "LORD, You have heard the desire of the humble; You will prepare their heart; You will cause Your ear to hear,"
Since I had bad dreams 2 nights in a row spiritual attack....second night when I couldn't go back to sleep.....Abba brought to my mind what one of my mentor have told me to do when feel spiritual attack is to put on the armors of God. Many verses I have memorized over the years came flooding to me, I would mentality say the verses and tell whoever is in the room with me that I have those armors on me and that I would use it to defend myself. I messaged someone from church on Facebook Messenger Wednesday to pray for me, whoever posted that prayer for me to read brought tears to my eyes. Feeling blessed that someone (brother/sister in Christ) is praying for me. That Wednesday's night I slept through the night with no disturbing dreams. Praise Elohim!
Throughout the rest of the week.....I would find verses that inspires me that I highlights it to remind me and encourage me as well to study on it as to what it mean. I would share with friends, with my mom, with my family. Who knows which people that may inspire them. I want to share with someone that I would feel that God want me to share for someone who may need it for that day.
During the week....I would pray and ask God what He would want me to do during time that I'm not on Facebook as much. I felt He wants me to write blogs more. lol.....good point there. I'll try to post a blog once a week. I also felt that He want me to use my time one day of the week.....to spend time with the elders in retirement home. Because of my past experience at my old job in NY.......family rarely visits their relatives in the retirements home, only during holiday. I miss visiting them because not only are they're fun to be around but they're polite, considerate of others, and speak in a way that I understand them by reading lip, because they speak slow compare to young people who talks fast. lol
Overall, what the main point with 1 week without Facebook is, don't let it steal my time that isn't going to help me unless I just check in and just to say hey....I'm seeing you but haven't forgotten you, yes you're still my friend and yes I still do care. I just have to learn how to control on how much time I am on it. Facebook is a great place to interact with people and keep in touch, but don't let it be too busy for you to noticed things around you outside of it.
God bless you abundantly not because I want Him to but because He wants to blessed you beyond what your cups can holds. Have a great week!
