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 express my feelings. And talk non-stop about God. Where I can feel like I am loved by having 34 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. I want to really follow Christ. And that means dropping everything. 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.
So, hope you all understand. Goodbye.
God bless!
A Servant 4 Christ,
Lizzie

Great thoughts. I will definitely be praying for you. May God work in you and may you have an increased desire to continue drawing closer to Him during this season of your life. Temptation will be there. But know this, "Greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world." May you be blessed. :)
In Christ,
Joshua :)
