Preparing for Facebook Fast again

Well, I'm preparing for my next Facebook Fast. The last one was a huge surprise. I don't know what I expected but it wasn't what I got. What I got was an inventory of all of my flaws (well, the ones that were on the inventory) followed by a chastisement and a directive. The end result was wonderful peace, but then circumstances arose and I lost some of the victory. So I'm going to do it again. The first time I felt asked to do it by the Lord, but this time it was a decision because I saw the benefits. I don't know if I'll blog during the fast. I had intended to do so the first time, but it ended up being so intense and personal that even I thought I should keep it to myself...and I don't have many self-boundaries about 'personal.

So here we are. I'm going 'to start the fast October 2nd. Until then I would HOPE THAT I would limit myself on FB to 15 minutes a day but it won't happen. Why? What is it about connecting with people that I LOVE? I don't know.

I get up at 4:00 in the morning to connect with God and to find out what is in my heart...that is about 2 hours then.....boing!!!! off with the day and all its twist and turns.

I'm subbing M T and W. I hadn't intended to work that much. But I was in a car accident 2 weeks ago, and my deductible is $500. So I need to pay that off.

I do enjoy...no, that's a mild word....I LOVE the classroom.

My book sales. Well--my goal was to write and publish the book. I hadn't gotten beyond that. I've paid myself back for the cost of the publishing, but I really need to sell them...more of them. I just don't know how to do that.

So...that's it for today.

Wait! How could I forget the most important? Our son got married to an incredible young lady who is Chinese. There were two ceremonies: one a Tea Ceremony and one a what? regular ceremony?
I was concerned about the Tea Ceremony because I looked it up and it seemed steeped in spiritism and ancestor worship.

But in effect, the Tea Ceremony was the single most touching event I have ever experienced. 

See you tomorrow.
