Good morning world! The other day, I was challenged to come up with a list of who I am. Not my roles in life, but without those roles, who I am. Well, I was reading yesterday. And even though the challenge was not directed to me, I still felt challenged. So here is the challenge and I am extending it to you all!
How many of us wake up in the mornings and the first thing we reach for is our phones? I told someone a couple of days ago I check the weather and the news. The response I got was "I check those on T.V."
I have made the comment about not needing a phone. One of the saddest things I have seen lately is two couples out to dinner and all 4 of them on their phones.
For me it would be better to reach for God's word first thing in the morning instead of my phone, or sitting down at the labtop. God's word would equip me better for the day instead of checking facebook, my blog stats, or even online banking to make sure I did not forget to write something in my check register.
I have been in God's word more as I said I would. Just not first thing in the morning when I would benefit the most. I have been praying more. Just not first thing in the morning to thank God for another day and my very breathe.
SO HERE IS THE CHALLENGE, Instead of waking up and reaching for your phone, tablet, or what ever device you happen to use, grab your Bible, or devotion. Read it, pray and spend time with God before you grab the electronics.
2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. Romans 12:2 NIV
Since I did not do this today, I can not tell you just how my day will go. I can just imagine it will be much better!
Be blessed and be a blessing,
Just some of my thoughts and actions,
Elizabeth
Almost forgot! Yesterday I stuck to my eating plan again. No junk, more water. Even refused a diet soda from one of my sons. YEAH! Another pound down.
