A blogging fast...

"Even now," declares the LORD, "return to me with all your heart, with fasting and weeping and mourning." Joel 2:12

People fast for different reasons, for a need they are trusting God for or just to draw closer to Him. People also fast many things as a sign of sacrifice...food, drink, TV. I know it also says in the Bible not to shout it from the mountaintops that one is fasting but I thought I should explain why I won't be blogging for a while. I am fasting this blog for a time. In my last blog, Repetitive Slacker, I talked about distractions that can take our time and attention away from spending time with God. At the time I didn't feel like my blogging was a distraction but I have to admit it has come to that. I stay so tired and haven't felt real great lately that anything extra has become a distraction. I hate to say it but I have even come to dread blogging on this site because I feel like I'm constantly beating myself up for the lack of motivation I have right now in my devotion time with God.

So, I am fasting blogging on this site until I can get my spiritual act together. I am ashamed to have to admit this but I'm getting desperate for some changes in my level of joy, peace, and energy! I will try to continue my other blog, Sugar, Spice, N Puppy Dog Tails, because most of my posts are just pictures which don't take too long but if that one starts eating at my time and energy, I may just have to fast it too.

If you think of me, pray for me that I will regain some energy and motivation toward getting back on the God Seeking wagon. Humbling to admit I'm trying to just hang onto that wagon right now, but I'm at that point...
