Journey Day 107

What are the needles in your life? What is a needle you ask? It is something that is blocking your vision, something that is keeping you from giving all you are to Jesus. Read Luke 18:18-29 for a little background on what needles are. My pastor preached on this very subject on Sunday, and since then I have been praying that God will show me what my needles are. Is it spending too much time with my friends? Is it spending too much time on the computer, or shopping. Is it keeping myself so busy that I'm never still and spending time in the presence of my one and only? Is it watching t.v or watching a specific show too much? Is it spending too much time reading the works of others, and not enough time spent time reading the book God gave me? I think for me it may be a compliation of all of the above. I think that one thing God has been showing me, is that the way I spend my money is frivalous, sooo on that note I'm going to cut back on the silly things I buy, that I don't need. For example, I will no longer buy coffee that I don't just make at home. Also I will do more grocery shopping, and less eating out. God kinda took away my computer sooo that will certainly cut back on that, and I am determined to spend more time getting to know God by the reading of His word! Part of this journey is setting my priorities straight, and I think that making God the center of all my decisions will help me understand what is most important! So here's hoping that God will show me my needles, remove them from my sight, and make me new! : )
