How many days has YOUR week?

You may think “What a stupid question” but let me tell you why I asked you.

The Week

Almost five months ago I decided to shorten my week to six days. The seventh day is God’s. This day is called Sabbath. I’m pretty sure that you have heard of this. I’m assuming you haven’t paid much attention to it. (I’m sorry if you have.)

When God created the earth it took him six days and on the last one he rested. God told us to do the same.

The Deal 

I personally think that the reason for Sabbath is not only to give our body time to rest, it’s more for our soul, spirit and to honour God.

I don’t have a regular 9 to 5 job. I don’t count months or weeks like others do. I realized that I had to find a different Sabbath day each week and organize my week around it.On Sabbath I don’t do anything which has to do with work. Well, I still try not to do so. 🙂 (I’m a workaholic and love it.)On one Sabbath for example I wanted to write a blog post – nothing came to my mind. I asked God to give me inspirational thoughts. I felt like God was holding up a stop sign. He didn’t want me to write it on a day I said was his. Instead I wrote the blog post one day later.

What I actually do on a Sabbath is pretty simple. I take a piece of paper and a pen and draw. If I feel bored after a while I go to the piano and play whatever I feel like playing and what comes to my mind. Then I go back to the table and write some words. This is not what I always do on my Sabbath but I always try to give my head a rest and focus on something else.

If you don’t keep a sabbath, there is no punishment but also no blessing. You don’t go for what you could get.

I want to finish this blog post with a challenging question: If you have assigned your life to God’s plan why then do you think it is your week? Shouldn’t it be God’s week?

P.s.

In last weeks blog I mentioned that I was fasting music. It was really hard in the beginning. You know what?! Since I have kind of finished my fasting I couldn’t manage listen to one song. I tried to but it was too much information. My brain or maybe my soul couldn’t handle it. It is so much better without it. If you are a music lover try to fast it and see what happens.
