No more facebook games

Last weekend I had the blessing of attending a Woman's Retreat in Manford OK.  This has became a tradition for me.  This is the Woman's Retreat hosted by the church I grew up in, that my family all still attend.  The take away is always very good.  The fellowship, the friendships, but most importantly God always has something in mind for me.   I have spoke the Sunday Morning message the last several years.  This next year I am taking on a different role.  My sister and I are the ladies in charge of planning the retreat, and making sure everything runs smoothly.  This is a big step up for us, since we have never worked together on a project like this.  My sister and I started talking and praying about this just before I moved.  We both felt God pulling at our hearts and leading into this service.  For the first time in our lives we have been thinking alike.  In doing this and planning things.  It is very weird for us to think alike and want to do the same things.  I feel very blessed for this opportunity to serve Our Lord.   We already have a bunch of ladies volunteered to help us, in speaking, singing, cooking ect.  We are very excited about where God is taking us.  The retreat is the last weekend in September 2011.  We have a whole year to plan, prepare and definitely pray.

This year I took away that I really needed to reevaluate my priorities and how I spend my time.  I made a commitment to God about my computer usage.  I spend hours and hours on facebook playing games and talking to friends. I also realized how addicted to the games I really was, I was looking for apps for my phone to play them, and I started to spend actual money to advance myself in the games.  I knew then they had to go. The commitment I made is that I am no longer going to be playing the games on facebook.  I am not going to be on the computer all the time either.  Only a couple of times a day, instead of all day long, reading blogs, playing games, and just wasting time.  This week I have accomplished so much stuff because I can't touch my games.  Facebook is boring with out the games to entertain me.  I feel so much better about how I am spending my time now.  This weekend God is really going to put me on the spot.  Our cable is out due to the porch addition.  It will not be restored until Tuesday, therefore I cannot be on the computer all weekend long, and I cannot watch tv all weekend long.  therefor I will find other more productive things to do with my time.  God has a PLAN!
