Has it been a month? OK, OK, so it's been a month.
And here are my thoughts.
First off, I would definitely do it again.
At first, I didn't know what to do with myself, which just meant that I wasted my time in other ways. Then, still hooked on the vlogbrothers, I bought a John Green book. I was going to be a big reader or something. I read it, liked it well enough. Moved on the next book on my list: Wrestling Prayer by Eric and Leslie Ludy. I had picked it up before but had to put it down because it was too challenging. I did get through it, and would highly recommend it to anyone serious about spending time with their King (Jesus).
From all this, it has come about that I need to purposefully not waste time. It's just far too valuable to be squandered. And I want to be spending hours in prayer because that would be anything but wasted time.
I definitely won't be watching YouTube anymore, I'd like to only, or mostly only be using my computer for the essentials, which I've decided for me, are basically, email (which may sometimes mean facebook - you have filter those to know which are junk and which are of use), the calendar feature, online banking (I've had to go biking for that every time this past month), and perhaps the dictionary feature.
This blog doesn't make the cut. I'm really sorry. That's not to say I won't ever post anything, but when I do, it'll be with irregularity. Still, feel free to leave comments, they get sent to my email, and I read them all. Ask me how I'm doing and stuff. I'd love that.
That's about it. It has been an amazing month. And again, I would definitely, recommend that book Wrestling Prayer to anyone interested. And if you do read it let me know.

i really admire your self-control. That's one thing I'm really struggling right now.
Im glad to hear that your fastin process did not turn out to be a waste of time for you. I came to the same realizations at the end of my own fasting and ended wasting my time on my usual gossip sites that degraded people more than uplift. And i have also become a big reader. Its a great thing to actually notice your changes and I pray that you will continue to grow stronger through Christ in all you do...although I will miss your post.
