I am chuckling, because I never thought I would blog. I guess never say never. I have given up both facebook and twitter for the 40 days of Lent, and was desiring an outlet just to express myself. Today is day six since Ash Wed. and I'm not fiending so much. Now the first two days, I was like an addict who needed a fix. Thank God for putting folks in my life who entertain my quirkyness. I am a quoter and my friends allowed me to text them quotes since I couldn't post them on facebook and twitter. The reason, I decided to "Lent" fb and twitter is because they have in a sense became bigger than who I was. I needed to take inventory of the things and the people that I had in my life. An incident occured to allow me to see that we shouldn't never believe our own hype. If God doesn't elevate us, then it is called pride. The word of God says that "Pride cometh before the fall." I thought I was given an assignment, when in essence, the assignment was me. Spiritually, I'm in the pit working my way back to the palace...not in my time, but in God's time. Thank goodness that God is not like man. He forgives us, the minute we repent. There is no condemation through Christ Jesus. Now, not to say that you may have to go through something for your actions, cause the word of God says, "God is not to be mocked. For as a man soweth, he shall surely reap." After that is said and done, you learn the lesson and get the blessing. 34 more days of Lent to go. Who knows the lessons I will learn, what to hold to and what to let go, or even if I go back to facebook and twitter at all? I'm not asking you to see it the right or the wrong way, I'm just asking that if you read my blogs...you will see it Jen's way.
