With all the technologies that surround us everyday, it is hard to get a moment of silence in daily to really talk to God. We have text messaging, blogs, television, MySpace, Facebook, all sorts of things that are distracting to our focus on God. I am in the boat with all of you, and I’ve been examining my life and where I can “cut out the fat,” so to speak. I am reading a 90-Day devotional by Rebecca St. James, and she touched on this issue in the one I read last night. It has really begun to be something I have consumed even more of my time with…thinking about it instead of just doing it. My OCD is that I tend to think too much about the things you should just act upon, and not think enough about the important things that need a little more reflection.
I really need to just start simplifying life a little bit. I need to only turn on the TV when there is a show that I want to watch, instead of turning on the TV and flipping around until I find something that is decent enough to spend my time watching. If I don’t go in with a plan, I will still be in the same spot 3 hours later, completely bored and un-entertained, and no where near being closer to what God has in store for me. I need to start taking the initiative; there is no one to blame here but myself. I’m sure that you all have similar problems to me, what are you doing to take over your time constraints and not have them take over you?
