In life some things frustrate you and it always surprises me how much energy I put into stressing about something-the other night while doing some planning for our family mini vacation I inadvertantly allowed a program to register on my computer-while doing that I ended up with a virus on my computer-3 to be exact-I got them all cleared up but now cant reply on Facebook-either this is a glitch as a result of the other stuff or GOD is trying to tell me something. You know the old saying think before you speak-yep that one. Well GOD has been working this yr on my speech-how I say things when I say things and most importantly to whom I say things. I have prayed and asked GOD to show me these things to reveal to me what needs to be said. And in doing that I have realized there is a lot I say and post that doesnt need to be said. Better left unsaid or so the saying goes. So for now while many can read this blog-I cannot respond to it-its funny cause now it doesnt seem to matter if I cant respond. I am getting a lot done at home now that my time isnt caught up in cyberspace. It's making me consider just how much I really need a computer and what I have been missing staring at this screen for so many yrs-oh I know computers are wonderful and contribute a lot to my life-its what is on it that has got me reconsidering what I am really needing. For now till I get things figured out the only thing on my screen will be pics of my family and that will be my focus - something that I shouldve seen a long time ago. What's on your screen-are you consumed by the computer or is it as it should be a tool for learning for growth and for research. Or is it like me an extension that I am finding I need to be released from and see what has been right in front of me the whole time. I am finding the view a lot more pleasant than I expected on the other side of the screen.
And I am not missing being "involved" on the internet as much as I thought I would. Life offline is becoming what it should be-the only "life" I really need.
