11/21/11

I just wanted to share a few quick thoughts with you guys today. It's been almost a month since I decided to begin blogging again, and I've failed to do so. Oopsie. So this weekend I plan on posting sermon notes with the date that they were written. I also plan on writing some real posts!

So, quick thoughts:
I've begun a fast from facebook that will last until December 20th. I'm on day 2. It's not easy. It's crazy how I default to Facebook so often. I actually had to delete the bookmark off of my bookmarks toolbar so I wouldn't click on it. Any time I finish watching a show on Hulu, or get back to my apartment, or finish anything, I want to check facebook. It's ridiculous. I never realized what a big part of my life it really was!

Taylor gave me a MacArthur Daily Bible a few weeks ago, and I really love it. I've learned a lot of new things already and can view scripture in new ways. I'm loving it! In addition to that, I'm doing a few short devotions through the YouVersion Bible App (Life Application Study Bible Devotion and Right From the  Heart 1-Minute Devotions) and they are great. They're a good way to start the day and get my heart right. I've gotten SUPER lazy as the semester has progressed, so I'm usually running way too late to read MacArthur, but I can read both of those devotions and set my mind on the right path before I head out the door. Days I do that are noticeably different from days I don't!

That's it for now; I gotta read my bible and go to bed :)
