Exactly a month after turning 18 God moved me to Texas, 16 hours away, but you also have to realize that I am an only child, that had not ever been away from home, not even camp at camp my mom went with me...she had never really let me out of her sight, yet that is where God called me, that was not an easy decision. Lets be really honest for a minute, My mother is a hairdresser which means that finances can be up and down depending on who comes into the shop, and my dad at that current moment was out of work, which meant for us to afford to pay for me to go to a school that provided no funding for students but it was simply on an act of faith that was not easy. I was a kid, I personally had no money, I was moving hours away from my family and yet there I was, but GOD is my provider, God moved in my life in that year in ways that I cannot even explain, God taught me so much and God taught me about stepping out on faith. Faith is something that is not easy, trust me it isnt, but it is the most amazing thing that you could ever experience.
Fasting is a step of faith, it is something that is not easy, because you no longer depend on what you are used to, For teens that may mean that boredom is no longer supplemented with things like facebook, video games, or television, instead you have to get into the word, and honestly I know that for you guys that is not something that is easy, and in your own way that is faith, but the hardest part of faith is stepping, stepping is difficult, standing is easy, don't let this fast find you finding other ways to cover your boredom, instead take your fasting time as a time to step into closeness with God. I have heard over the past few months that you guys are ready to get closer into relationship with God, this is the time. Ready or not, lets take the step. I am standing beside you, and I will hold you up if it gets hard, but I'm not standing still, i'm walking! Move with me! Step into stronger faith with God, Read your word, Worship with God and the end result will be more worth it than you can even imagine
I'm proud of you!
