Let me start with today.

I had a blast. I had breakfast with my friend Sissy, then we went jet ski'ing until like 1 ish. Went to St. Augustine and back. I had so much fun! Got her SOAKED and I thought it was funny, then out of no where (seriously, I was sitting still with no waves) my jet ski just tips over and dumps me. The circumstances surrounding the incident was embarrassing, yet humbling LOL to say the least. But, when her and I hang out, we always have a good time and me being made a fool out of was no exception LOL.

After her and I returned, she left to go serve the homeless, as she does every Sunday and I went to pick up my friend from Columbus, Cortez. He is an artist and staff member that I had on my old label. We went jet ski'ing and then to ihop to eat. He had never been on a jet ski and said he enjoyed it.

WELL..............

Tomorrow is my first fast. I have tried fasting, but I cheat somewhere in it. And truth is, during my last fast (which I don't consider a fast since I didn't go through with it), I forgot what I was doing and ate lunch, plus I don't feel that my heart was in it. It was for the Imagine campaign, and I think my "passion" for this campaign started RIGHT AFTER the fast. So, tomorrow is food AND Internet. Yes, I said Internet. Anyone who knows me well will tell you that I drive around all day holding my phone and surfing the internet, Instant Messaging and emails. (i was going to keep my email on my phone, until a friend of mine that fired my concscience so she could take over lol, convinced me that would be wrong, even though my emails come to my phone as text.)

Paul said to pray without ceasing, right? Well, if I pray during normal eating time, and my normal Internet time, then I would be on the right path to praying without ceasing. (yes, i'm serious. my internet usage is seriously this bad) In fact, I was just told this morning by a that same good friend that I check my phone at church, and when we go to the movies. I think I check it without realizing sometimes. FYI: the purpose of my fast is just simply to give myself as a living sacrifice; to try to hear God; to draw closer to the Lord and take a step of faith that I am willing to give Him all of my distractions, with the help of Jesus Christ! In addition, I have a HUGE decision that I need to make that will affect a lot of things, and am searching for a revelation!

For anyone reading this, please pray for me. This will be very difficult as it's my first fast, but I want it BAD. I think it will be rewarding and I am excited.

I feel so blessed. I think that I may see things that God is doing in my life, but some of the BIGGEST things that I crave, want and desire, I think that He may make me wait a little while longer. My mom has told me for years "Now my dear son, patience just isn't one of your virtues"... oh how my mom knows me!

I'm excited, people! Good things coming. I love where I am at in life and am couting my blessings! I may hit a "funk" from time to time, but I just gotta pray harder. I'll probably post an entry on my last funk soon.

Anyway, thanks for reading. In the meantime, please check out a band that I am enjoying working with!
