These past two weeks I have fasted from my computer. Driver challenged us to give something up for two weeks that we put in front of our relationship with Christ. I picked my computer. One because my power cord broke that day which seemed like the timing was right. And two because honestly I am on my computer a lot. I think these past two weeks I have really realized how much.

There were so many times that I wanted to get on my computer this week to waste time so to speak. But instead I read. One book that I read was The Glass Castle. It is a memoir about Jeannette Walls's life. She and her family had a hard life. Her dad was a drunk. and Neither of her parents could keep jobs which didn't work out with the fact that they were no good with their money. She and her three siblings at one point slept in cardboard boxes for almost two months I believe. It was a crazy life story. Her family never settled down anywhere for very long. I never realized that even here in America there are families that struggle. It made me realize that I have it good. It was really cool though to see how she was able to make her way out of the lifestyle that her family had been living for so long. She was able to preserver and survive. I would recommend this book to pretty much everyone.

I also read Prince Caspian. Which I enjoyed and am looking forward to the movie.

You are probably wondering what I learned and how I was changed by this fast. And I honestly don't know. I don't know if I did change. I mean I didn't have any big revelation or anything. The only thing that I learned was that having a relationship with the Lord takes time and effort. And I have to be able to say no to things like my computer to spend time with him. Pray that I am able to live out what I have learned and make time to spend with Jesus.
