Texting

Well, I do have to admit something, I agree that I spend to much time texting my friends. They are fun to talk to but sometimes my cell takes over my life. For example, I was so down when I found out that the new place we are moving to in a week has absolutely no cell phone service. I know that can be a little bit of a problem but for some reason it kept me up at night. Then I realized, I'm more worried about my cell service then I am spending time with God. I mean, sometimes I wish I could just txt God, and he would reply back with an answer that would make you feel better, or help you through a hard time.  When I was away at Gardom Lake retreat a couple weeks ago, we wrote down all the things that we are putting before God. I wrote things like,
-How I look.
-What my test score will be.
-Will that person like me?
-Cell Phone
-Computer
-Clothes
-School
-Friends
-_________
Think about what I just wrote out. I left a blank one for you. What are you putting ahead of God? Well, we took the paper to the fireplace and burned them all. For some reason, ever since then, I have been spending less and less time looking in the mirror, texting, going on the computer, worrying about my schoolwork and stuff like that. God has become more and more important to me and his role in my life has become practically most of it. There are still things I struggle with but not nearly as much as before. I pray to God more often but not as much as I would like. But I'm getting better, Thank God.
