Today’s post is a bit of a confession and a challenge, I
hope you are up for it. J
First, the confession… I have the winter blues, I mean a
really nasty case of the blahs. I just haven’t had that spring in my step
lately, ya know? As I look around it seems all I am seeing is the yuckiness if
you know what I mean. I am tired of the complacency of people, I am scared of
the direction the country is taking, I am beyond sick of sin and the devil and
some days I feel like an utter failure in the wife and mother department.
So, now that you have the confession, here comes the
challenge. Well, it comes next, now I want to pose a question for you. Why do
we get the blues? The blahs? The I don’t cares? Why do we get so down and
defeated? I believe it is the world! Perhaps it is our love of the world, or it
is the fact that we live in it, either way, it is the world and the sin curse
that’s upon it.
Mark 4:19
“And
the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of
other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.”
Sometimes, we just feel choked from all the worldly
distractions. By worldly, I don’t mean sinful, just the stuff in the world.
Are you ready for the challenge?? This weekend, starting
today at 5:00 pm I am going to unplug. That means no TV, no Facebook, no
internet surfing, no blog reading, no emails, no news, etc. I am going to
completely unplug. It’s an experiment for me, I want to see if it clears up my
heart and mind and helps me take a step away from the world and all that
boggles my mind. I don’t watch TV really anyway, but my phone is always in my
hand it seems and I am always running to the computer to check something. So,
this weekend I am going to take a step away and unplug.
How about you? Will you join with me in this challenge? From
today at 5:00 pm through Monday morning can you unplug? Let’s just see if it
helps with the winter blues, it can’t hurt ya know.
I will write a post early next week and give an update on
how my weekend went and I’ll look forward to hearing from you too (on Monday of
course). J
