Facemelt... A place to take all of your time

So this week, no these past two weeks have come to be known as the "valley" in my life, for this moment at least. As I sit back and look at the things that have happened or are going to happen in the future I truly have been starting to realize where my focus should really lie. Not on worrying about someone, not on wanting to get a "clean slate," not even on FACEBOOK... Oh I know, its blasphemy to speak against such a "great" thing as Facebook, but in reality it has become like an idol in my life. Time I usually spend in the word, slowly but surely turned into time sucked into that "social networking" site. I was really convicted on Wednesday night at Bible study about how much things can affect people and take their focus off of God and onto something as silly as oatmeal or as fanatical as sports. Then I realized, what on earth do I have to do on facebook for hours that is so terribly important to my life, or most importantly my relationship with Jesus?!?! The answer, facebook has NOTHING to offer me. ( No I am not bashing facebook, it truly is a great thing, but when it controls your time it can be detrimental) So I have decided to take a personal hiatus from facebook, to in essence discipline myself to rely on the Lord for my social networking, so to speak. He will fill the voids that I face, and he can make me whole. I am excited about the time I will be spending with the Lord and the time I have already spent with him since Wednesday. It is amazing to me how much of a difference cutting out one little thing from your life can bring you so close to your create. Its awesome! My challenge is to evaluate your life and walk, and if there is something that you think you just cannot make it a day without, go without it, it will either break you or draw you closer, its all about the discipline. :) It has done me good so far, I hope it does for you too.

I john 2: 15-17 "Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world— the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride in possessions—is not from the Father but is from the world. And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever."

I don't doubt my love or anyone else's love for the Lord, but we all just need to refocus and redirect it to whom its really due to!
