I have been working on a post about time management for a while and it really has challenged me. Hopefully it will be finished soon. <br /><br />In Christ,<br />RebeccaRebecca Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11738945951713645411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3667478386555369846.post-1696116951498723742011-08-22T05:15:00.603-07:002011-08-22T05:15:00.603-07:00Hi Rebecca;

Putting Him first sets our path straight. <br /><br />Blogging can become a god to us if we allow it too. However, I also believe it is a way that allows us to LIVE for Christ. Allowing our lives to be a Light in this world. I believe it is a wonderful tool in which to preach (with our lives) the gospel (the good news). I thank God for allowing me to blog and allowing me to let my voice be a voice crying out for the world's 174 million orphans.<br /><br /> I hope my blog(my life) makes an impact for His Kingdom. <br /><br /> If we submit our lives into His hands, He leads us, directs our path and allows us opportunities to serve Him (even with a blog).<br /><br />Seeking Him is where it begins and asking Him to search us to make sure we are in line (and not in sin-I.E. making a blog an idol) with His Spirit.<br /><br />xoxo<br />Kimmie<br />mama to 8<br />one homemade and 7 adopted<br />*one more on the way through adoption!!!Kimmiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04462108880167593207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3667478386555369846.post-42038266649480902322011-08-16T06:32:33.260-07:002011-08-16T06:32:33.260-07:00Everyone glad I am not the only one!

I agree and almost think that it would be nice to keep each other accountable and start a prayer and Bible study group or something through the internet. The idea just came to me, I have been encouraged by a prayer group I am apart of through Melanie's blog called Forever His Servant, her blog is in my blog list. I am working on another post about time management and it will be up Lord willing before friday. <br />You all are such an encouragement to me! thank you for your kind comments.<br />In Christ and love,<br />RebeccaRebecca Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11738945951713645411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3667478386555369846.post-48879789410434563802011-08-15T21:47:55.253-07:002011-08-15T21:47:55.253-07:00Greetings,
what a perfectly timed post.
Thank ...Greetings,<br /> what a perfectly timed post.<br /> Thank you for sharing. <br /><br />I have been trying to spend more time, bible reading and prayer...instead of staying up all hours at night wandering the website world. I sleep better and feel better when I don't stay up late doing that...and starting my mornings with God instead of the latest blog/online news. My computer recently crashed and I noticed how nice it was to not have it in my room. :) <br /><br />Anyway, thank you for your very well written and heartfelt post. <br />Very much enjoyed reading it and agreed with you. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3667478386555369846.post-34774701201175258042011-08-12T20:23:11.642-07:002011-08-12T20:23:11.642-07:00Rebecca, I have also been feeling this pull to spe...Rebecca, I have also been feeling this pull to spend much more time before the Lord. With some of the not-so-great goings on in my life, I've felt God pulling me so strongly to my knees, my head almost went spinning. :) But it's been beautiful, the clarity I've received by spending more time in the Word and in prayer. I certainly don't have answers to all my questions yet, but there is definitely a modicum of clarity, and for that I am thankful.<br /><br />But it's amazing how easily we're snared into distraction, isn't it? A minute or two here, a few moments there, and before you know it, you're laying in bed realizing you didn't do all the Heaven-ward things you expected to do that day.<br /><br />But you are hearing the Lord and are responding, and it's beautiful to see. It's SO important that all of us use any outlet we can to share God with others. You never know who's reading, or how God will use a single sentence you write to profoundly touch another person, maybe miles and miles away.<br /><br />I'll be reading!<br /><br />AmyAmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15183354814224320009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3667478386555369846.post-47936110339388292982011-08-11T16:25:38.218-07:002011-08-11T16:25:38.218-07:00I needed to read this for encouragement.

I have been practicing trying to do as much as possible off the computer. <br /><br />I try to plan my posts offline and give myself one hour to assemble them. I've suddenly found myself with a lot of time to do the things that actually need doing, like you mentioned. <br /><br />I think a lot of people take a lot of time making it look like their lives are interesting online but we really should be living our lives and supporting each other in real life.Stephanie Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13324411278252488163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3667478386555369846.post-56539886420976579052011-08-11T11:32:57.032-07:002011-08-11T11:32:57.032-07:00Oh praise God Ginny that the Lord is working in yo...Oh praise God Ginny that the Lord is working in your life as well.

I agree with every word you said. :D I have been going to other things, the internet included, to find my encouragement, my happiness and my rest. Only last night did I fully realize the meaning of the verse, "Indeed, I count everything as a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Jesus Christ my Lord." (Philippians 3:8) I finally found what my heart was searching for so desperately on the internet, in movies & everything else I love. Sure, they're great but they can't fill that certain emptiness in my heart. Only God can do that and I have finally turned that part of my life over to Him! And the same is happening with you, at the same time! I have finally found my heart's desire...God is working in wonderful ways!!<br /><br />Love,<br />~GinnyVirginiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04335034522220078982noreply@blogger.com
