It may be a while...kinda like a month...

Hey I just wanted to update ya'll on what's been going on in my life...God has recentley just really been revealing things to me and making me think alot...like serving others as if you serve the lord (Eph. 6:7) and Doing everything without arguing or complaining (Philippians 2:14) among other things.... He's really been challenging me to just let go...to really surrender all...

Well the other day Tweeze gave me a book called The Persuit of God by A.W. Tozer...well I've been reading it and its spoken volumes to me... at one point Tozer says that, "The evil habit of seeking God and effectivley prevents us from finding God in full revelation. In the and lies our great woe." Well one of my ands is the internet...if you know me, you know that i spend a great deal of time on it...not a good thing...besides the fact that it distracts me from God and waste time I could spend with Him, it also causes me to stumble and sin at times...hey I'm just being real with you...

Well I don't want to live my life like that...I want to live a life totally surrendered to Him...a life full of passionate persuit of my Lord...I want my comfort, my hope, my joy, my peace, my everything to come from God, not the temporary trappings of this world... I want to live a life set apart...one totally dedicated to my Father...

So I've decided the best practical way for me to start this persuit is to give up the internet...for a while...about a month...and the time I would normally spend doing useless things, would be spent instead in the presence of my King...

Know that I do not do this to be legalistic...but that I do it with a genuine hope that this act pleases my Father...

So in conclusion...don't expect replys or comments for the next month...if you need to get in touch with me please feel free to call my cell phone...God Bless...

in christ
