It's Erinn

I am on a journey to grow close with God, to grow in Him, to grow in His word, and to be a better person. I learned so much when I was away at camp, and I was changed. This fast is almost like a continuation of camp for me. It talks in Matthew (chapter 6, verses 16-18) about the right way to fast. Yes, I will be journaling on here about what God is doing, but odds are I probably wont talk about it outside of here ( unless you are Alisha, Sierra, or Alli) just because I feel that I will get more out of it by sticking to what the Bible says about fasting. So, moving along to what I'm fasting:

• junk food, and mindless eating- they go together, and they usually happen when I'm on the computer or watching t.v. 
• One meal a week, and I will be spending that time in prayer.

During camp we were told to get rid of things that distract us, so when I came home I deleted my twitter and my instagram. I was also told (by God) that pinterest was a distraction. I kept that and said that I would set a timer that would help me limit my time. It was all good until yesterday. I got on pinterest, forgot to set the timer, and I was on there for 2 hours straight. two hours that I could have spent with God. Should I delete my pinterest?

These are what I should be doing to fill in the time that I would spend to the computer and eating:

• reading my Bible until I'm filled- this means I'm not reading 3 chapters and calling it a day, I'm reading until I uncover a message or a lesson. this means I could end up reading one chapter and that's it, because God spoke something or showed me something in those verses in the chapter.
• writing in my prayer journal (which I will show you soon :)
• Spending my whole day with God

What I expect to get out of this. Which I know that you gals might no this already, but as a reminder: Expect God to show up, and He will!:

• having a more spiritual relationship with Him
• Being able to spread God's word in school
• Be a nicer person. really showing God's love to everyone
• Memorization of the scriptures
• Grow into the woman that God wants to be
• Become the person that I would like to marry (more on that later)
• Be a better help and have a better attitude at my house for my sister and my parents

I can't wait to see what God will do in this fast to all four of us!

Also........

You will be seeing and listening to this mug over the next 60 days :) I'm going to do a video diary as much as possible. During these videos I will be reading through my journal, talking about devos, and other random things that I want you to hear. Sometimes I feel that I express myself better on camera. Not sure if any of you other ladies will join me on this path, but it will be fun. sorry if I sound weird or appear camera shy.

LET'S GET THIS FAST STARTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
