Well, I have successfully gone a few weeks without using facebook. Has it been easy? Not in any sense of the word. The thing is, it hasn't really been hard either. I don't think that's an accident my any means. When I decided I was going to go without facebook for a while, it was for the sole purpose of becoming closer to God. I know that my knowledge of the books of the bible and their order have grown tremendously. That aside, I feel more intent to learn about the things He has laid down for us.
I stil have to go like a month without using facebook, and I kid you not, I almost went there once I got on the laptop just now. I luckily caught myself, because I didn't want to break the chain I've had. Of course, it's very tempting to get on, but yeah. This time off of facebook has definitely shown me that I have much better things that I can be doing with my time than spending it on facebook. Heck, if it weren't for the fact that I am with my friend Michael, watching him play Gears of War, I would probably be at home..... doing nothing.
This next month does not scare me though. I have learned recently that nothing I do in the name of the Lord shall ever scare me, because I know that the whole time that I am doing whatever it is, that the Lord is going to be with me. I know that I should have no fear in what I do, because the Lord will guide me through it all. :) Best news ever
On a side note, I was watching the NCAA National Championships for wrestling yesterday. I must say, best thing I've ever decided to watch randomly with my dad. The very first people wrestling were in the 125 pound weighclass. Well, the thing is, one of them has one leg. He was born with one leg, and at the age of three, he took his prosthetic leg, and threw it away. I don't know why, but this kid has to have a lot of guts to want to go through his entire life with one leg. There's no way I would want to wrestle if I had one leg. Anyway, not only did he fight his way into nationals, but he did it perfectly. He was 38-0 when he went into nationals. Seeded first! He was basically predicted to win the match. He went on to win the match 7 or 8 to 1. The very first words he told the people from ESPN were that God is good. That's the best part about it if you ask me. Not the fact that he won nationals, or the fact he has one leg. The fact that he won nationals, with one leg, and is giving the glory to God.
Well, that's all for now brothers and sisters. See you next time
Love you guys
