HHHHmmnn.....last Sunday we were talking bout
Severence - seperation from old priorities
Permanence - permenantly
Oneness -not seperated any longer - to become one with
Intimacy -no shame
Though we were talking about it in relation to marriage on Sunday Ive been thinking about it in relation to fasting, and self control and my relationship to God.
When Severence to fleshly desires or action become permenant it does create that oneness with God which then in turn, creates that intimacy that we so badly crave.
This will be my 12 day of no smoking and I do believe its going to be a permenant seperation from cigarrettes, and because of this seperation to that desire to smoke, I do feel a oneness or closeness with God , I do feel that intimacy with him that I didn't feel before....I do feel a little less shamefull.
God works in such mysterious ways to relay messages sometimes, it's awesome.
Have a great day guys, it was just something that I wanted to share out loud! See yall tonight at our meeting! We are blessed!!!

ReplyDeleteI am so proud of you Chaya! I watched our grandmother die a very slow, smothering death because of smoking, and I do not want that for anyone, much less someone I love so dearly! I know it is not easy on you, but I know you have the One in you, that can fulfill that desire when it pops its nasty little head up! Funny thing is I have not even had a chance to blog, I am at work right now, and I just felt the urge, with a second on my hands to read your blog. I have had a "forced fast" from my computer at home...LOL, but as much as it sometimes helps me research the word and promote the gospel, I have enjoyed this time where it is just me and God in our alone time.I know you are finding the same comfort! I love you and am so proud to call you my cuz!!
