Spending some alone time with God..

Okay, so this is so incredibly new to me and honestly it comes with a huge feeling of vulnerability to be writing and not knowing who (if anyone) could be reading it. But I felt led to start a blog, not to write about myself but to write about what the Lord is constantly doing in my life and how He is constantly blessing me. I am so undeserving of His love, but somehow through grace He has saved me and calls me His own.
I really dont live that interesting of a life, I go to school full time and when I am not at school I feel like I am either studying or thinking about how I need to be studying. However, I feel like if even one person is inspired or led to Christ by reading my blog, then this whole throwing my feelings out there and blogging would be worth it.

I recently decided that I was going to fast in order to grow closer to the Lord. I wasn't sure what I would fast from but I knew it needed to be something I desire, something I spend alot of time doing and would be hard to give up. Easy, FACEBOOK. I love facebook, it allows you to stay connected with so many people. The downfall, I spend way too much time on it.
So I decided that I will fast from facebook completely for the next 28 days and spend that time deep in prayer and reading Gods word.
So I am excited! I was nervous at first, but I know the Lord has great things to show me and teach me these next 4 weeks. I hope that maybe other people will sit back and think about what their flesh desires the most and fast from that in order to grow closer to God. Fasting doesn't always have to be from food, the purpose is to take your eyes off of the things of this world and instead focus on God.
I have so many things I will be praying about, and I just ask that you pray for me. Pray for God to take this life of mine and empty it of anything that is holding me back from growing closer to Him.

And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.
