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 49 followers. Where I feel like I can connect with you all. 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. But if it means dropping everything for God, then I'm letting go. Could you guys please pray for me? For I know the devil is really going to be battling with me over this, and i need to ignore the hunger for wanting to get back on and stand with God. Thanks. So, hope you all understand. Goodbye folks!
God bless!
A Servant 4 Christ,
Lizzie

ReplyDeleteDear Lizzie
ReplyDeleteIt's sad that you have to only blogging once a month ) :
I will miss you and you blog heaps, but go girl! For giving up possible Idols for God.
I will pray for you, cuz I know it will be hard. I remember being really upset when Mum said we could only have 1/2 an hour a day on the computer. I am really grateful for that now because I have so much more time for more meaningful things.
I will look forward to reading your once a month posts. And they will probably be really good, since you have more time to plan them.
Thank you so much for all the support you've given me at my blog. I really appreciate it. And all of your comment have been treasured. You are a very encouraging person.
I will miss you heaps! I can't believe how much you seem like a friend to me, even though I only know you from your bog. We have a lot in common. ( ;
From you blogging friend Lauren
