OK guys & gals...I want to hear some opinions! I've been thinking a lot about deleting my myspace (which I decided already it's gonna happen today thanks to inspiration from Tori and Jordan's blogs). Due to technical problems with myspace, I haven't actually deleted it yet. I really think it's become an idol in a way. I "have" to check it every day. I "have" to reply when someone comments. I "have" to change my layout when I'm tired of looking at it. Too many things I "have" to do! So now, I "have" to delete it. I don't want my life to have anything to worship except Jesus. I want to have as few distractions as possible. I think now of all of the hours I've wasted. WOW! I wonder if my book would be finished right now if I'd just have used that time to write and study God's word.
On another point, today has been really rough for me. Satan seems to lurk in every corner trying to make me fall constantly. I have been struggling a lot with family decisions that are very complicated yet so simple. I know that 'faith in God' is what will pull me through things, but until now I didn't know just how easy it is to say that and how hard it is to walk it. It's so easy to give advice. I'll leave today's post on this from my journal 9/8/06:
Ditto that for today!

I do not have a myspace, but it is the same way for me and fb! Thanks for sharing! :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, no more myspace, but now, it's fb I "have" to do. Thanks Love Unawakened for commenting...reminded me to watch how much time I spend on there! : )
ReplyDeleteSatan loves to make us feel isolated in our transgressions, and then we start thinking that we are the only person messing up all the time. I really dislike my space, as well as fb, they really can be a waste of time. But it can also be a good tool to get the Word out for all those people wrapped up in our culture.
