Revelation of the Spirit #62 - Time Well Spent

So I decided to make some changes in my life yesterday. I first deactivated my facebook account, crazy right?! Then deleted my myspace account and disable my twitter and finally I deleted 20 apps from my iPhone..I left some apps like solitaire, phase 10, some photography apps and my bible app of course. But I'd like to think that I somewhat cleaned out the things in my life that sadly I spend the most time on. My roommate will tell you that every morning that I get ready I spend my daily 20 minutes on facebook before doing anything else. How sad is that? Pretty sad if you ask me.

I realized I could be doing things far more productive with my time than stalking people on facebook. I've been one day without facebook and I went to all my classes, practiced my cornet for an hour, finished my theory composition project, ran a mile and swam laps. Productive? Yes! But most importantly I had a productive time with Jesus. Yeah!! Definitely my favorite part about giving up facebook haha. He reminded me of the Jeremiah 29:11, yeah yeah, I know you always here that. But it didn't really apply to me the way I usually find it. I usually cling to that verse when the future seems so unsure and as a college student I've gotten used to an unsure future. But the Lord reminded me how that verse applied to my past. He reminded me of how I was desperate to get out high school and how unknown that time of my life was and how much I prayed to go to Asbury. God was faithful and brought me. He delivered me. And what have I done since I've gotten here? Not practiced or focused on my studies nearly as much as I should've and I've neglected my devotional time with Him for facebook.

I really want to take this season in my life to soak in every second of laughter, happiness, worship and contentment. He brought me and now I owe it to Him to not waste my time here and focus on school and my devotional life. So that's what I hope to do by ridding my life of these unnecessary distractions.

So that's where I am now. Trading the entertainment of the world for the love of a wonderful Savior who has set me free and wants only the best for me. I am blessed!

Praying for you all!

Blessings,
