Wow what a day! Just as I figured it was difficult! I woke up for work at about 9am and first thing I do every morning is check my phone for new notifications. Well guess what? NO NEW NOTIFICATIONS. Basically I slapped my forehead and said "Duh, Gina!" lol I prayed and asked God for strength on the beginning of this journey because I know it'll be difficult. Work was ok, mostly everyone knows about this sacrifice I am doing and respect it. I felt great during the day, my mind was pretty clear, a few times I would take my phone out, unlock it, navigate through my remaining apps(I deleted the tempting ones), then lock it again. I was almost in tears when one of my co-workers (didn't know about the 21 days) started playing music for us. The first song was my absolute favorite, "Darte un Beso" by Prince Royce. I had to walk away, stand in the drive-thru and basically zone it out. (I don't want to force people to do this sacrifice with me, It's my choice and if they want to listen to music, they can) The rest of work was fine, I remained busy and even read my bible (on the bible app) on my break. God gave me so much strength today. After work I went to zumba (again had to zone out the music) but I just focused on my steps.. 1..2.. left ..right.. oh snap I went the wrong way! lol after zumba I headed to church and directed the play we're working on "A Letter From Hell" then came home, read bishops message, Prayed, and now I'm here.
Today's message from
Bishop Macedo's Blog was about obedience. It most absoulutely makes sense. If I want to recieve the Holy Spirit, or be renewed/revived, I must obey. Obey what? Obey God's word. Leave sin, run away from it, and meanwhile on the run away from sin, find Jesus. It's pretty clear to me. Still I ask God for strength to continue on this Journey, to not let me fall, because temptation lies evverywhere.
