Well I have never written a blog so here it goes. Today is March 1 and it begins the season of Lent and I have decided to give up a few things in order to strengthen my walk with the Lord. HE sacrificed His Son for me, so to give up a few non essential things for time with Him should be easy. That sounds easy but I am not sure it will be so easy. I chose to give up Facebook and beef for the season of Lent. Now, I know this seems silly but the beef part will be easier than giving up FB. See, what I have come to realize is that I am addicted to Facebook. I like to keep up with everyone and what is going on in their lives and the world. I post a lot as well. What I have also realized is that it totally consumes my time. I wake up and immediately check my phone. I go to sleep with my phone in my hand and during the day, I am constantly checking in to see what is going on in the world of FB. When I look at the amount of time I spend on fb, it is ridiculous.


So, I am taking the next 40 days to restructure my life and to get back to doing more of what I enjoy. I have allowed FB to take the place of reading which at one point I loved more than anything. I also have let my time to study God's word decrease. I know there is so much more that I need to learn and I am ready to make some changes. I want to get back to calling people on the phone and hanging out with my friends. I am also ready to find my purpose in this great big thing called LIFE. I have wandered through most of my life and I am ready to make my mark in this world.


 I say its a sacrifice but in actuality all time belongs to God. He can cut it short at any given moment.. I don't want to be found lacking due to temporal things in my life. Well, I'll  be checking in soon. I am "March"ing into a new season. I used to try running ahead of God. But marching will get me where I am supposed to be. Webster defines marching as to move in a direct purposeful manner" and that's just what I plan to do.


Happy March!!!
