My First Fast!

So When i went to LA my friend fasted. I was so curious and I just loved it.
I didn't know I was going to do it on my own so soon.
So i decided I would fast for 12 hours. 8-8. It was intense. The night before I had prepared myself with reading some scripture and praying. I wanted to have set goals of why i was doing this. I fasted for a friends salvation, obedience to god, and for me just to be closer to Him.
I woke up this morning at 7:45 to eat a little something then began my fast! It was very hard. The first 2 hours were easy. then I went to work. My co-workers make fun of me for being a christian so they didnt quite understand. They only tempted me with cookies in my drawer and lots of yummy things. But After constant prayer I was fine. The hunger pains subsided and only god was on my mind. I related my work situation to real life. Temptation. I thought of how they were tempting me to fail just as we are all tempted by non believers.I also learned that really by prayer and fully trusting i can resist that temptation.
I also learned how good it feels to be in the word so much and to be in constant connection and really put god first. something i have been putting off.
With work, school, and relationships i put god on the backburner. which is not working for me. I learned so much today. I am so proud of myself. and I know God is proud to. I didnt think i would make it, but i think he knew all along.
I wanna pursue my own relationship with christ. I'm ready to not be so dependent on others. there is no middle man. just me and him.

L.A.

The city of angels!
What a trip!
lol.
Lets starty off with I arrived in a cowboy hat and boots.....lol. I had no idea L.A. was so big yet cramped!
I don't go to big cities.
I had tons of fun. in three days i think i had a total of 12 hours of sleep! I don't like LA but i loved being with work crew friends. It pointed me in a better direction with my faith. And it helped me concentrate on the amazing meaning of Easter. He is Risen!
I was in a tv show as an extra! Saw some crazy people! It was something I have never experienced ever! But I loved it. I will be going back again!

Spring Break!

Spring Break is not the same this year. As a kid I was happy i got 2 weeks of lazy days. But since I'm in idependent studies its different. I have a job. My job doesnt have a spring break. lol. So i keep watching My brother go to Concerts in San Francisco and Go to Santa barbara, while I go to work! I feel like an adult with kids. It kinda sucks. So after thinking about it, I took next week off and i am catching a train to LA. I am a small city girl. I have never seen big cities except for Las Vegas and I was amazed. So i'm excited to stay there for a few days. Meeting some friends from work crew and summer staff. I am so excited! I will be sure to post pics when i get back. My friends keep saying little redneck is comin to the city. So they asked that I bring some redneck clothes. lol. I will be arriving in my cowboy hat! lol. I already know I am gonna miss the stars from the lake!
