Yo! It's been a couple of days since I've shared my fasting journey. I'm surprised no one has called Ja Rule about my whereabouts.
Lol, na I really appreciate the support that you all have given me while sharing my journey along the way. To be honest - this is getting tough. Although I remain steadfast in my abstinence from social media, I found myself replacing that time with other stuff. Like Tetris.
Remember when we were in grade school and the teacher sent somebody to the front office to get the media cart because we were just watching a movie that day? Well - That's today. Common says everything that we need to know about remaining faithful.
Not the worst, right? I'm still building either way
At times, this journey kind of feels like playing the game. As I continue to build and eliminate the negative parts of myself, things get harder and things begin to come at me faster. I'm cool with that though!
I kind of shied away from the prompt about wholeness. It's so difficult to survey myself in all areas of life like that. I don't like coming up short ya know. Let's call it a spiritual Napoleon Complex. But it's crucial to be whole in spirit, emotion, physically, financially, and relationally. Admit the good and bad things inwardly about the place you are currently are to grow to the place you want to be.

Growing spiritually from within should be reflected in physical and tangible ways.
'Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well. '
- 3 John 1:2
'“He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; “by his wounds, you have been healed.”
- 1 Peter 2:24
'But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds, we are healed. '
Isaiah 53:5
Father, your desire is that I would progress in all areas. I ask that you would teach me how to be whole and complete in all areas. Thank you for spiritual, emotional, physical, financial, and relational wholeness. Show me today any area that I am not experiencing wholeness in Jesus’ name.
Peace & Amen.
