Have you ever noticed that when you really need to hear something, you hear it over and over in so many different ways? I know I've touched on that before. Well, I'm doing it again. Yesterday we had a sermon that, well, it made me see some things about myself that I'm not proud of, things I needed to see. I knew some of them, or at least wondered about them...if they were right or wrong. Well, after yesterday's sermon, it just couldn't be more clear. Then this morning I read a devotional a friend had sent me over a week ago. Wow. What another eye opener. It was somewhat about the same thing. Close enough that I took the same meaning out of it. I need to change some things about myself. And, if I'm to be honest, looking over the course of my marriage, well...when I had been more careful about my influences, my marriage was better. If I'm going to be honest, I need to be more careful about what I expose myself to. And, no, this has nothing to do with friends being Christian or not, or even about friends period. I do need to ask myself this...how is it I have time to see what everyone is up to on Facebook, but I don't have time to do my Bible study every day? I don't think Facebook is making me a bad person, I just use that to illustrate my point. There are other things I need to spend less time doing. Or, frankly, not doing at all.
I think I'm going to go back to the way I was doing things for a while. I will use the computer in the mornings, AFTER my devotional time. And then, for me, it's getting shut off. There is too much to do with my family, with my home, that will take up more of my time. I'm going to file this under resolutions, because it is going to help me be a better Christian, mother, and, yes, a better wife.
