I walked onto the damp "welcome" rug, glancing at my watch as I turned the handle on the front door. 6 minutes. I had to pee, but ignored it as I rushed onto the couch-- tossing all my stuff on the floor. I whipped out my computer, through open the screen. After mistyping my password several times, Firefox popped up and the familiar blue headed page loaded on my screen. Nine notifications. 3 minutes left.
Three friends pop up on my fbook chat. One minute left. I had to say goodbye (much to their dismay).
But the world is not ending. After the clock struck twelve, I shut my screen and pulled out my Bible/journal. I journaled my goals for the next few weeks facebookless.....
::I want to consistently draw nearer to him. To have an open conversation with him at every moment.
::I want to pray for everyone I say I will pray for. I want to lift up my friends and family in prayer, rallying for them and loving them in the best way I know how-- through Jesus.
::I want to continue to pursue real, deep fellowship with the people in my life. Not the false, social networking relationships.
::I want to reset my mind and priorities accordingly and reevaluate what I spend my time and money on.
::I want to seek my worth and value in Him alone and seek His words of affirmation rather then relying on my loved ones to provide that comfort for me. I want to rid myself of the feelings of inadequacy and just lift up my shortcomings and faults to Him.
::I want to rejoice in the moment-- not looking ahead or planning head, but just to praise Jesus for every minute I have with the people and opportunities around me.
