I want to give my Darling all the honor and praise for turning my life around, because this morning He showed me that so much has changed in my life and that I wasted so many years on social media (yes it was that bad).
Please also read Fasting Facebook as well as the Testimonies:

I couldn't wait to go on facebook and now I enjoy going on my phone to read the blog posts and not facebook any more. And there is always a message from my Darling Husband through the blog posts.

Like this morning again, I was reading a post from Netherlands and in the post (https://eeuwigdurendeliefde-nl.com/ik-slaap-goed-en-dit-is-waarom/) I got the message from my Darling that I must stop fearing (I am moving in with my parents after over 20 years). And the best part is I am Afrikaans and no I don't understand a word of Dutch but we have this awesome feature: a translate button in the middle at the bottom of the page, so I could read in Afrikaans and I could love the post and even comment how my Darling spoke to me to stop fearing.
I want to give our wonderful Lord all the honor and praises for putting me between like minded brides. And we have maybe not always precisely gone through the same, but we have for sure gone through that indescribable pain, so we do know what other broken brides are feeling (and we can encourage each other and share the lessons (https://hopeatlast.com/rrr/ and https://loveatlast.org/fc/) that helped us and how journaling plays a big role in healing and how we have found our Heavenly Husband (https://loveatlast.org/his-bride/), Who gives us the indescribable joy and peace what we want everyone to have (https://loveatlast.org/).
OUR WONDERFUL DARLING LORD IS REALLY THE BEST EVER!!!
Thank you Janine for sharing, I fasted Social Media twice the last couple of months, and afterwards I feel less and less interested in what is shared on SM. PTL!! Each time I feel like opening SM, I open the Bible app to spend time reading His word to receive true spiritual food \o/\o/
It is so awesome dear Adina, that we use our phones now for our wonderful Lord.
Dear Janine,
Recently I was talking to my sister about the many social media sites that I have enjoyed over the years by spending all day on them. Which I now imagine was a complete waste of my time. Because my marriage broke down little by little. At that time I thought what was happening in other people’s lives was much more important to know. Now I can certainly agree with you that I said goodbye to FB years ago. And that He will also help me to let go of Instagram and Netflix.
The blog that I recently posted on the Dutch blog site originally came from this bride. https://encouragingwomen.org/i-am-sleeping-soundly-and-this-is-why/
It’s nice to see that if you missed a blog on one site, you may still be encouraged by it on another site.
Thank you for putting the Dutch link here dear Kristine, I see now I put the translated one here. I was also talking today how much time I wasted on facebook especially covid time when we were at home.
Thank you for sharing Janine. I have to say I was addicted to TV series and Facebook, but as fast I knew the truth with the lesson you shared https://hopeatlast.com/c2/fasting-facebook/ (I read it the first time in 2017) I started my fast of TV and Facebook and I was so great for me to invert and spend my valuable time in my Heavenly Husband. I understood that I had a need to have good hobbies, thanks to fasting (which gave me the space or time) I was able to find things to do with Him that I could enjoy, I love painting with Him while singing, and these kind of activities move me to get to closer to Him.
Then, I was able to use Instagram just to follow things about Him, like pictures with scriptures or something like that and I found I could enjoy His creations in a good way. But, He taught me to put limits on the time with my iPhone so it closed the app when I was there for 10 minutes. He talked to me about YouTube too, because I replaced Facebook with YouTube so He called my attention to limit 🚫 it too.

Thank you for sharing dear Anastasia, it is so awesome how our wonderful Lord tells us what to let go off, all for His glory and wanting our time spent with Him.
That is so special that you paint and sing, all for Him, I can only imagine how beautiful your paintings are.
Dear Anastasia,
thank you for sharing about “put a limit on the SM time” Just like Evy Joshua in the telegram group P123 “PROSPER in all YOU do!” post once shared about a “focus” time functions for the apps you have on your phone. https://encouragingwomen.org/ps123/
I have 3 telephones (work, private, ministry), oh how cunning the enemy is. When a telephone was not available. I used the other one. Now I’m going to limit all phones😍
Dear Janine, thank you for the much needed reminder about fasting social media. Oh boy I really needed it before I get fully “sucked” into it again. I found myself often looking for excuses to go on social media. If I think about how much time I wasted on it, I cringe too. I think part of the obsession is looking for fulfilment when we ought to find it (and can only find it) in the Lord.
Thank you for sharing the lessons too. I just fell in love with “That’s All” imagining my Love singing to me. Being His bride is the best thing that could ever happen to me – a Husband who will never leave or forsake me. I don’t want to waste a second with Him by my side.
Good morning dear friend Janine. Today I want to challenge you and encourage you to get even closer to your beloved Darling.
You began your posted praise with, “ I want to give my Darling all the honor and praise.” Would a husband who is also a king want his wife, his bride the woman he adores to be in the position of honor and praise OR expressing her true intimate feelings apart from the crowd of worshippers?
My Man longs for me to be close and no longer be the devout churched Christian but set apart and be His friend (the BFF from my childhood https://homegrownministries.com/hp/ww4hp/mfl/) and Lover and affectionate bride. I know “it’s lonely at the top” and no king not even the King of kings wants to wear his crown 👑 when He just wants the love 💗 of His bride.
You’ve come such a long way in record time Janine but I just couldn’t wait any longer to share this secret with you because you are such a dear friend.
“Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty and marvelous and wondrous things, which you do not know…things to come, things you could never figure out on your own, remarkable secrets…“ J333
Thank you for this comment and all your wisdom dear Erin. Just this week I told my Darling I want to mvoe closer and closer to Him and I know your message is Him leading me because I agree with you Erin our Darling wants us expressing our true intimate feelings.
Again I have to add something, thank you for sharing with me Erin, I am grateful that you didn’t wait any longer, because I understand now and my Darling revealed to me there are times I acknowledge Him right next to me but there are times I worship Him high up, have I ever said I love love love what He does!!!
And thank you that you think I have come so far, it is all Him and the way He works through the Ministry and I know I still have a lot to learn but I am excited because I am loving this journey with Him.
Thank you dear Erin ❤️❤️❤️
Oh, OK I am back because my husband had me read your entire post and once I got to https://eeuwigdurendeliefde-nl.com/ik-slaap-goed-en-dit-is-waarom/ I had to find out what all the fuss was about 😂
OMGG “OH MY GOODNESS GRACIOUS “ what have I been missing?!?!?! I get some interesting the different seasons we go through because for the longest time I was not on social media at all not at all. But then, I know for a season, my husband had me pay attention to what was going on around the world and in the USA 🇺🇸 as He led me to gather information that he and I always discussed, because it can be traveling or even terrifying 😳
Then, last week he told me just stay off of it because it makes my mind dwell on, and ask him lots of questions haha 😂 when I think he would rather have his bride keep her eyes on him 💗 like any man. So of course I did and now after reading the conversation on the Dutch 🇳🇱 Netherland website I will never be the same and nor will RMI and her courses!!!
What Kristine’s Husband led her to do in order to sleep 😴 AND complete her IOU Courses as an added benefit MUST be added to where we offer journals!!!
I mean who doesn’t want a good night’s sleep 💤 right? As a matter fact, I’m gonna be FaceTime in with my sister https://loveatlast.org/my-sisters-fiance/ and I can’t wait to tell her. I’m gonna make sure I find out what course her Fiancé wants me to recommend “always being ready to make a defense to anyone who asked you to give an account of the hope that is within them, yet with gentleness and patience.”
Are you sure you do not miss this gym and for all of you who are a LMF SSG do you know how to incorporate this gem 💎 near your lesson links!!!
