Taking a Break

I've been thinking about how much time I spend on the computer blogging, and my final calculations read: A LOT! So, I've decided to take a break from blogging for one week and see if I can make it :) Blogging has been messing with my time with God. It's bad, and I know it. I spend WAY to much time on the computer! I find myself saying "I haven't done my devotions today, so I should go do that now.", but then I say, "Oh! But I wanted to write that post! I'll read my devotions later...". And that's BAD!

Last Sunday, we learned about idols. During the sermon, the person telling the message asked the congregation what their idols where. At the time, I couldn't really think of something that has 'taken over' my life. But now I know. Blogging.

So hopefully, as I take my 'vacation' from blogging, I'll get closer to Jesus and maybe this huge idol will pass away. Now don't get me wrong, I love blogging! I wouldn't be in this position if I didn't! But that's my problem. I need a break, to get away, to get study time in.

This is my last post for a week, and I'm sure that by next Sunday ideas will be bubbling out of my head! But I think that this is what I need to do to get back into my routine of always putting God first, not coming in second after blogging. I'm going to click on the orange 'Publish Post' button and sign out of Google reader. Put all my blogging thoughts on hold and worship. So please pray for me this week. Not that I'll be in denial, but that my thoughts will stay focused on Him. Have a wonderful week!
