Dude, guys, we've practically made it. There’s less than a week
left. I want to encourage everyone to push through these last couple days. I
know that for me, in past years, these last days have been all about getting to
the end. That’s not a good way to look at it. We all need to take each day as
it comes. “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be
anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble,” Matthew 6:34. I
love this verse because it is so real. Yeah, everyday we're going to encounter adversity,
but when we focus on tomorrow, we are just wishing our lives away. Instead, we
should focus on the ways that God impacts our lives each and every day. That is
what this fast is all about—removing secular media in order to be able to see
God more clearly.
Also, this past Sunday I did the scripture reading thingy
and when I was told the passage I found this super awesome verse. “No, in all
these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am
sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor
things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all
creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our
Lord,” Romans 8:37-39. I don't know if it’s just me, but this sounds super
legit. First of all we are called
conquerors and I think that it is extremely encouraging. Then there’s the really
amazing thing, there is nothing at all that can separate us from God. Even as
the media fast begins and we slowly fall back into old habits, God will always
be right there calling to us. We just have to open our ears to what he has to
say.
Have a spectacular last leg of the fast. I can't wait for
all of the adventures on Missions Trip this summer that I will get to
experience with all of you. I'm totally psyched. Love you guys and I am still
praying for you.
