I like food. I like to eat, so I look like me. For me, every meal is an opportunity to be together and to enjoy mutual company.
My friend is fasting. Immediately, I would like to tell him I will not be able to do it. I like foods too much. But I heard what he said. He was doing Daniel fast. He explained that how well it was, I do not feel hungry for tummy. Your body cleanses all bad things we packed by yourself. You have more energy and enthusiasm for your life. And cooking is an opportunity to have a good time still in the kitchen. The only difference is that it is much healthier.
I understood this quick thing. I asked him why he did it. He said: "Because we are used to our lifestyle, we do not actually realize that somewhat was lost.Where I am lost sight of the confusion around you let me see"
What my friends do is meaningless to me. It's like a redirect and you can see where you are accustomed to things, where you can not sleep, where you can return to God's way again.
Without realizing that, we will be like a sleep walker: 7 So let's not let your life go crazy like any other people. Let's open our eyes and make it smart. People sleep at night and get drunk at night.
It may not be a party as a drunk after another person. That probably know What God ordered us is that we will not do. Perhaps we have a chance to allow someone to get closer to us and may tempt us from the right way. Perhaps, fresh partnerships and financial decisions may be fascinated further from God's plan for your life.
Maybe we will take a position to know where we sleep like my friends. It reminds me that part of what God says that we are his first love. Is God still our first love, do we have our dreams, since then, do we chase everyday to become our first love?
We have to wake up. As it may be too late, we have to wake up our family and friends. God literally open up our eyes metaphorically. We will return to the road so that we can reach our dreams for our lives.
This may be true for you and me.

Thessalonians 1 5: 4-11
Reflection
Where are you sleeping?
Are not you like God's dream?
How can I get a stand?
prayer
Lord, there are lots of places we sleep in our lives. What we can not accept is normal for us. I really need your help. Amen.
