So I realized today when my neighbor's internet went out (which I was pigging backing off of) that I am too connected to this world. My only excuse is that internet also is my form of connection to the people of God. I realized that my need for internet is unhealthy when I found myself bored and somewhat useless without it.
What I plan on doing is fasting from the internet a bit. I want to get on ONLY to check emails, etc. Other than that, NO INTERNET!
Instead, I plan on applying my plethora of free time to God's word and song writing. After all, I was dying to find the time to do it when I was in school. Now that I've graduated, I will put all my efforts into finding a job, planning a wedding, and most importantly, pursuing Christ in a new way that is unrelenting.
I want to encourage you to do the same...well maybe not necessarily finding a job or planning a wedding but at least try to fast from the things of the world and replace them with things of the LORD.
I'll let you know how that works out. I have faith that if I can keep this up, my life will turn out surprisingly well. Even if life is difficult, I have faith that God will enrich my life with His Spirit.
Yours in Christ,
Brent
