In the beginning was....oh look. A pretty butterfly...§§

You're in for a surprise!!!

I'm doing my moment making before my devotions blog. Revolutionary, right? It's more of a statement making blog than an actual revision of a moment made (even though this statement came from a moment...one that I made...I guess).

   I realize how easily I get distracted from things in life that are actually important. Example: I woke up this morning and set out to do my devotions, but once I opened up mi email, fue como.."Oh, debo chequear mi email." I responded to an email first thing this morning y después, I checked facebook. So unnecessary. En serio. The email can wait and facebook is DEF. not going anywhere. Verdad.

   So I thought to myself. "What in the world are you doing, chiquilla?" Distractions have been getting too much in my way and it's not healthy. It's about 1) not letting things take you away from your goals (even super short term ones like opening up the internet to get to Our Daily Bread. 2) and exerting some self control. Why is it so difficult?? Tantas cosas en esta vida y a veces, quiero hacer todo. Demasiado. Basta.

 This leads me to my moment making: I am going to eliminate one distraction every day of the week. My many options: Facebook, TV, sleep, checking ALL my emails (I have 3), my hair (sometimes I spend too much time trying to fix it) and internet surfing. I think that's it.

             Entonces, today, I will begin with the television. It's rather revolutionary. I watch way too much TV. TV for me includes online TV watching as well as movie watching. Henceforth, I will not watch TV for the next 48 hours. I'm doing 48 because I know 24 would be too easy. I've done 24, but 48 will be meaningful. Starting......NOW
      ---12:40pm Monday until 12:40pm Wednesday---BAN on TV

By God's grace.
