This week will be special for me. And hopefully it will matter. Yesterday at church my Pastor gave a great sermon on how we can make this Easter week matter and having receptive hearts to spiritual growth that God can do by:
"weeding" out the negative things {like sharpening the focus of what media you intake}
and
"feed" the healthy things {reading the Easter story, talk to Christian friends about what's really important and slowing down}
The ways I'm hoping to accomplish these goals are {and I am in no way trying to appear self-righteous, I am simply trying to share with you all what I am trying to do to be intentional this week!}
I want to "weed":
-Internet time {Facebook, and any thing that consumes valuable time}
-Plan blog posts more effectively {the latest posts have been "blah" and thrown together in a hurry... I want to slow down and plan the posts out}
-And I'm going to try and listen only to the Christian music on my iPod, no secular music... So I can center my thoughts on God and everything about Him...
I want to "feed":
- Reading the Bible this week
- My working out each day
- Efforts in being productive this week {making my Easter dress... I
again waited last minute to make it. And with all the time spent offline, I'll be able to finish it quicker!}
What do you think? Are you doing anything special this week for Easter?
