Media Slow, Media Fast

(Swap, Sweep, Swap, Smack. Cough, Cough.)

Just came by to do bit of house keeping on the blog because it sure has been a decade since I updated. Haha, it's not wonder this place smells of cold, motionless air. Perhaps the time has come to bid goodbye to this blog forever?

Anyway, Media Fast is starting in one and the half more hours and I'm pretty excited to go. To know we're all going to be able to survive without media and entertainment - I'm sure that will blow some minds! To me, media fast is like a siren warning us that we have become too dependent on the media today. At the mention of media fast you could hear all the gasp and chattering going on in the background. But I'm sure as we pull through this one month of total dependability on God; and not only on what the rest of the world depends on, what a sense of victory we will experience!

I don't know if this is going to be easy for me. I believe every single one participating in this fast will struggle in an aspect or the other. Be it secular music, youtubing, facebooking, potato couch-ing etc. Yet, as we do this together and learn as one body to lay down all other distractions and focus on God, I believe we'll see a great great breakthrough not only in our youth ministry but also for our personal lives. Afterall, all we're doing right now if putting God back on His rightful place in our lives!

Just the thought of that excites me. Well if you're tempted to give in, remember you're not alone. Encourage and support one another, we're all be able to overcome :)

Carmen's ready to embark on this exciting journey in discovering God in a deeper, more intimate way. Ready? Set, GO!
