Hello everyone.
I have decided something. And i would like to share it with you. Last night God spoke to my sister in a powerful way. It wasn't something she necessarily wanted to hear. It was about giving up something. Giving up the time she spends on Facebook.Well, when she told me this I thought about blogging. I don't have fb, but I sure waste a LOT of time on blogging. And I have noticed that it almost has a hold on me. Like it is hard to go a day without being on it. And that is not good. And I have decided to give it up.
No, not delete all of my blogs yet. But I have decided to only come on here once a month. To only post once a month. Yeah it will be hard to keep up with commenting on all your blogs because I won't be able to read them all without having dozens of other blogs to read as well. But just bare with me.I'm sooo not wanting to do this! Like I could wrestle with it for hours! But I know this is what God wants me to do. And I don't want to ignore Him. For I want to grow closer to Him. And He wants me to, too!
I have noticed blogging is like my own little world. Where I can talk about myself and what I've been up to. To share my "gifts" with you all. Where I can feel like I am loved by having 30 followers. Where I feel like I can connect with you all. To share my latest photography. And it's another place where I can let my light shine for my King. But, there is many other places I can let my light shine.I need to break this stronghold and let God work in me.
I need to have real encounters with the Living God instead of having "encounters" by looking into the screen of this here laptop. Idols don't come looking like gold cafes that people bow down to. Idols come like something you really enjoy in life. Like the computer to me. No, you might not bow down to it, but in away you worship what ever it is. You spend to much time with it. Let go. Let go and grab onto God.
So, to warn you all, I am getting off for awhile. I am going to try my hardest to only get on once a month. Yikes, it's going to be hard. For I DO NOT want to do it. But God says I must to grow closer to Him. and if it means dropping blogging then I will. Pray that it won't be hard for me guys. thanks. So, hope you all understand. Goodbye.
God bless.
A Servant 4 Christ,
Lizzie
We'll miss you!!! A ton!!!
ReplyDeleteThat's really great Lizzie. As you may have seen on my blog, I got rid of my facebook because I was wasting too much time. It's awesome that you are being willing to do a hard thing to follow and obey God.
ReplyDeleteI will still look forward to your occasionally posts! And don't feel like you have to read my posts or comment on them. Since I don't get on very often, I certainly know how it's hard to keep up on so many blogs!
I know you grow a lot through what you're doing. Blessings! <3
Good for you Lizzie, and your sister!!! I struggled with that a few months ago, and the Lord led me through it and though I still occasionally have to remind myself I'm spending too much time on face-book or blogging, I've gotten much better and it has been good for me to let it go, and not spend so much time on it. :) The Lord is leading me too in regulating my time. May the Lord bless you and encourage you while you strive to please Him!! Keep up the good work!!! I'll look forward to the once a month!! :-)
ReplyDeleteLove and prayers!
