Fasting from television

So, I chose to fast from television over the last three days so that I could spend that time with God instead. I have to say that it's been nice. It all started 3 nights ago when the Holy Spirit made me aware of my intense desire to lose weight and my diligence in working out every day. I make the effort every night to do my work out and I don't let anything get in the way; not mood, time, fatigue, other people, television...nothing. SO, WHY THEN, if I desire to grow in my relationship with God and my knowledge of Him, do I not make that same effort to spend time with HIM? I know, seems so simple, but it just hit me and I knew that it needed to change. Now, I fully and completely credit the Holy Spirit for opening my eyes and because He has, I can fully trust that He will provide the grace I need to do it, BUT, I also need to take action. The Bible is filled with verbs... those little words that tell us what we need to do in response, and that is where the fast from television came about. I am allowing myself the time to view my work out videos, but anything else is off limits. At work, while Sammie sleeps, no more television until I've spent time before God, quality time, in His word and still before Him, waiting to hear from Him. Late at night before bed, same thing. I'm not saying no more television ever, but for now, at least, it's got to be shut off. I am excited to see how God will use this time. I am excited to spend time with Him and to get to know Him better. Please feel free to pray for me.
