Yes, you guessed it my computer is back 100% fixed sitting on my beautiful desk in my beautiful room looking out over the beautiful Madison campus on this beautiful spring day.
As you may have noticed I am so in love with the amazing beauty that God has put around me, it is truly jaw-dropping to experience it all. My window is open and I hear the sounds of birds chirping away adding to the beauty of this moment even more.
Living computer-free for the past couple days has really helped me become thankful for the ease it brings to my life (especially in school work) and the beauty it can help me create (some of these beautiful things) but also, I have become aware just how much this machine was taking control of my life (and not in a good way). Instead reading a good book or even just looking out of my window I would spend hours browsing facebook, stumbling, and blogging. This is an absolutely ridiculous way to spend my with all this beauty surrounding me. In the past week I now know that I do not need or want to go on facebook multiple times a day. After all, all facebook seemed to do for me was to allow for comparison of me and others. I was comparing my life with other peoples so called "facebook life". In Galatians 6:4 Paul writes that we are to, "take pride in [ourselves] alone, without comparing [ourselves] to someone else." Whoa, this is exactly the opposite of what I was doing on facebook. Interesting.... very interesting.
Hmmmm, I do believe God was trying to slip a little love note into my life by taking away my computer and I love that He cares enough about me to want to help me. He loves me so much that He exercises His justice in order to allow me the best life possible.
I pray that, now that I have my computer back, that I use it as a supplement to my life and not as the main focus. I pray that You stay the main focus of my life. Keep my eyes open to the beauty of the spring you have created for me. I love You so much!!!
