FASTING

I will be making a very important life changing decision in about 2 weeks. I am giving up... tv watching. Many of you may think that this is very easy and that many of you don't care to watch too much tv. However for me, it's a very hard thing especially since I watch so many shows. I really wish that I could get paid to watch these shows and have it some what productive but it has come to my attention that it is something I need to do in order for me to grow.

As my shows will come to an end soon, I am looking forward to this new change of focus. I will be a mother of three now, I will now have even more time with God and I'll have more time to focus on more important things. However a part of me feels that I could just limit the shows I watch because I love the art of theatre. I love how a collaboration of producing, writing and acting can create such emotions or thoughts in a person. So I even though I've contemplated fasting movies too , I feel I can not do that just yet.

I just recently saw a preview of a remake of 'the bionic woman' that will be airing soon. I loved watching the original staring Linsday Wagner. I remember running around in my childhood making the "wang wang wang..." noise and pushing things in slow motion and pretending that it was flying so far away. I know... DORK! I had this sad look on my face and hubs was walking by and asked me what's wrong. I said, "they made a remake of the bionic woman on NBC!" He had this look like SO. I know so stupid of me.

I'm also going to give up secular music as well. This too will be very hard for me . But I'm looking forward to the challenge. I do have this fear of not being hip. Me and my youngest brother (12 years younger than I) would be able to talk about music. We'll see...

Please pray for me that I'd be able to take this time to really grow closer to God and refocus my life. That I may become a Godly woman that is living for Him and Him alone.

wow, a. i'm very encouraged. i remember fasting for 40 days before we left philly. yes, i fasted tv too. fasting for food was never that difficult, so i needed to do something that counted. tv was that for me. i put up a huge sign over the tv screen that read "PRAY!" it helped. :) i'll be praying that this time of prayer and dedication will bring much blessing to you.
and congrats on setting up the induction date. i know how great it felt to have the date set and to know that my own doc would be there to deliver. :)
can't wait to meet your little one soon~ sending you hugs~

geez, that sounds hard. both tv AND music? not even food network or TLC? sometimes i turn on the TV just for background noise when i'm home alone with baby ESK. love your story about the "bionic woman". i thought lindsay wagner was sooo cool too. remember her bionic dog? and then remember when she and the 10 million dollar man had some kind of romantic relationship?!!! anyway, i'll be praying for you too.
