Redeem
read this off a former teacher's site...
"In an attempt to simplify my life, I made the decision to shut down my Xanga site. I had initially started that site to join the blogring for my church and get to know people better in an informal manner (which was accomplished). It was also a great way to get reconnected with people from my past, esp. from back home. But what started out as a good intention turned into something that I found myself spending too much time doing, and with only 24 hrs. in a day (and who knows how many more years on this earth), I realized that there must be a better use of my time.
Another reason I made this decision was I saw how the desire for comments, to be visited, etc. became a temptation to win the approval of man (i.e. fear of man), and become self-absorbed. This is something that I know is revealed in other areas of my life, but I've been challenged this month to reassess not only my attitude toward things, but also how I've been spending my time."
Ephesians 5:15-17
Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
...it really convicted me, i truly needa re-evaluate my motives...why i do the things i do...
Soli Deo Gloria
