You are so sweet, Audra. Really. It is very encouraging to hear that God is graciously using these words to somehow bless others. I appreciate the comment. 🙂

Thanks for sharing. It’s good to do a “reboot” at times, cleansing our hearts and minds from things of this world.

A very harsh reality, “Me going after other gods.” Ugly truth about all of our hearts. Lord help us.

I NEVER ever comment, but then He prompted me to let you know how much your words meant today (and many days)….and, well, obedience starts with the small. Thank you for your time and effort that you give in blog posts…you make a difference.

I always felt such a failure until someone brought to my attention that sometimes when we think we have failed or fallen back into old habits is really when God is bringing us to a new level. Now when I see myself falling back I do take a step back to see how far I have come. Sometimes it is further than I thought. Through this I quit beating myself up for failing when I can now renew a new adventure.
thanks so much for your insight. It is thought provoking and makes me take a step back a look at where I am.

It reminds me of why I recently did a 5 day fast from all the things that were distracting me from hearing God’s voice. For 5 days didn’t have: caffeine, sugar, use social media, listen to music, do my hair or makeup, or wear cute outfits. It was a difficult but rewarding experience, for more about it, http://claritywithcharity.com/?p=1217

Thanks for sharing the practical tip! Going to do it today!

So, I deactivated my Facebook account two weeks ago because of this distraction deal. Sometimes when you lack discipline of any kind, drastic measures make sense. Am I on Twitter more? Yes, but my time is still spent more wisely – online and off. Ultimately, I’m seeing how my distraction is more about me going after other gods and a hard heart than a problem with social media.
