Day of Rest...or agony

So I've noticed that I have been spending WAY too much time on my laptop and all the different social networks: facebook, vyou, youtube, SOLITAIRE.

It is literally pushing me away from my one true need in life and that is God.

I've become so raptured in thinking "Oh, I wonder if anyone has asked me a question on vyou." and "Oh, I wonder who's on facebook."

So today, I promised God that I would dedicate my whole day to just Him. No vyou, no facebook, no youtube, and yes...no solitaire.

Even as I sit here studying spanish, I can't help thinking, "Oh why don't you just check your facebook. Just check to see if anyone has asked you questions..."

GAHH!!! LALALALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!! THIS IS GOD'S DAY!!

It's so hard, and so easy to just give in. But what helps me remember to stay on track is that the more I'm with God the happier and better I do in life. I get nothing done when I'm focused on the social things in life. He makes me happy and He lights my path.

I'm all together a better person when I put all the junk behind me.

Besides, I know that I should rejoice when troubles and temptations are hitting me hard. Sounds SOO cheesy, but I believe it. It strengthens my character, and my character strengthens my hope in salvation.

He alone saves.
He alone is the answer to the world's problems.

So God this day and all the rest are for you. I'm going to fight to keep you in my life.
