Bible first. Blogging second.

It's been a while since I've been on this little blog of mine. A couple of weeks ago I heard a pretty convicting message about not having enough time. My excuse for not spending as much time in the word was because I didn't have enough time.

How many of you have extensive blogs, but still don't have "enough time" to open the bible?
How many of you have extensive pinterest pages, but still don't have "enough time" to pray for other people?
How many of you have over 1,000 facebook friends, but don't have "enough time" to make some solid relationships with girls in your area?

That was me. So I made a conscious effort to take a break from the things that were sucking up my time. It was great to his the reset button for a couple of weeks. But now that the holidays are about to be in full swing I'm back!

And to kick things off again, here is what I look like when I wear red lipstick:


 

You're welcome.

Yes indeedy, I know exactly what you mean! I've taken a few breaks from blogging & social media for the very same reason. It's so easy to get completely caught up in all of it and miss out on the really important things... especially when it comes to spending time in the Word. Good stuff, girl!
Enjoy your weekend!

eek i can't see the picture.
I know exactly what you mean...and i've been convicted lately as well, "oh i'll do that later today, or tomorrow morning, or i'll do that in 5 minutes"....and it always fails.
Thanks for sharing this, i needed to read it.

This was such a great reminder! Thank you for that. Just happened upon your blog for the first time today. I'm convinced it was Providential.- Hope your weekend has been a good one so far!

I loved this post and great job on getting back into the word. I have feeling convicted to take some time off too and listen and read :) Great post!
