Addiction- Ouch It Hurts!

Ok, friends it is time to be real! We all have habits, addictions, hurts, relationships, fears, a past, worries, etc that hold us back from a real relationship with God. This is what we are studying right now at our church. We are hosting a small group at our home each week to study God's Word on dealing with all these subjects and more. Each week we hear a sermon and then study that topic deeper in our small group. Well, let me bare my soul here! I have thought my "thing" was failure. I do not want to be a failure! So, I strive with everything I have to not let people down. God let me know this morning that...I am addicted too!!!! I am addicted to technology!!!!!!!!!! I love my iPhone, Facebook,and  blogging! So, gulp gulp gulp I am going on a technology break for gulp gulp gulp TWO WEEKS! (We do have two birthdays coming up. So, I will only blog on those two days and NOT read or do anything else.) Psalms 139:1-2 "O Lord, you have examined my heart and know everything about me. You know when I sit down or stand up. You know my thoughts even when I am far away." I will use that time wisely. Instead of cruising on Facebook... I will play more games with the kids, instead of playing on my phone...I will write a card, talk with my kids more, be OUTSIDE more,etc. The main thing is I do not want to live regrets! I want God to know my heart and I want to know Him better. I will use this break to better my relationship with the Creator. James 5:16 "Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results." SO, please pray for me during this two week break from technology. I will be praying for you too!
