Addiction

I am finding this blogging to be quite addictive. What is it that drives us to addiction? I have fought off alot of addictions in my life. But it seems, everytime one goes away, I find a new one. People with addictive personalities tend to switch to other enjoyable activities when deprived of the opportunity to participate in the original addiction.

The difference tho between THEN and NOW is that I choose to only be addicted to things that will positively affect my life as opposed to negatively. I've chosen to be addicted to Christ, to learning the truth written in the bible. Also, I am choosing, oddly, to be addicted to sewing and crocheting, as dorky as that sounds, it is such a positive outlet for the stresses I experience throughout the day and I have made some good friends in the process of learning.

I recently found myself getting quite addicted to Facebook. Why? Because its some alternative world to our own reality? What ends up happening is you see the varying emotions and moods of all of your friends day in and day out. At any given point, you will know what your friends have done, what they have eatin, when they go to the bathroom, when they go to bed, etc. etc. . Its almost like information overload. Its hard enough that we have to manage a daily routine ourselves, let alone all of your friends on Facebook. So now, I have cut myself to only looking at it once a day, because any more than that is just too much.

Some closing thoughts/scripture:
Rom. 14:23 - "whatever is not of faith is sin"

Thank you all for reading my posts. God Bless.

Ok, I think I will start a blog.

So, I've had the opportunity to read some blogs from well, AMAZING ladies. So I thought, why not give it a try? At any given moment, I can have 20 things on my mind, and according to some, blogging is like an online journal. What a great way to get these racing thoughts out of my mind and into something for everyone, including myself to read.

So why title my blog, "Journal of a Newly Found Woman of Christ". Well, to put it out there, me and Jesus did not actually meet, until a few years ago. Not that I didn't have faith before then, I just didn't FEEL or KNOW the experience of having a personal relationship with Christ. Since then, things are looked at in a completely different perspective. Things I have learned in this relationship with HIM.

1. Its not about me. I must be giving of myself, I must be selfless.
2. I need to listen more
3. My children are my legacy, I need to leave good ethics, morals, and values behind, so that they can share that with their children.
4. He has put people in my life for a reason. I must learn as much as I can from the relationships I have.

So what am I planning on blogging about? Lots of stuff! Here's the short list:

My awesome hubby
The girls
The Greatest Mom in the World
L'Esprit Photography (The Biz)
Sewing & Crocheting
My Spiritual Lessons
Lessons from Friends

Well, I must be getting back to business. Ta-Ta for NOW!
