LAST YEAR

So this is my last year doing the media fast (at least while in high school). This has already been pretty difficult for me. For the past few months I’ve been been really struggling with my faith. As many of you may know, one of my closer friends passed away a little over three months ago which really lead me to struggle with my faith. I started to go down the wrong path. What I don’t think many people realize is how much music affects your mood and your actions. I definitely didn’t realize this, which really lead to some trouble. I started getting lower grades in my classes, started a relationship that was not Christ centered, and just started to hang out with an overall bad crowd. Even though this media fast has just started, I have already seen a change in my life. I have brought up my grades slightly (as it only has really been 3 days), ended my relationship, and am trying to hang out with a different group. All of this from only three days of more positive music and devotional. I’m very excited to see what god can do with me and what he can do through me. I’m grateful to have so many of you to hold each other accountable. 

Last day!

This has been a really fun, yet hard experience for me. Through the month, I have been challenged at school more than I thought I would with people trying to get me to listen to certain songs or watch a cool video. You don't really know how things affect you until you stop doing them. It really makes you realize what God wants you to do. I can't explain how this changed how i am except that I feel more lead by God than by my own desires.
