lent..

So I'm really not the type of person that likes to make committments, resolutions, things like that. I would like to say its because of fear that I won't live up to them but truthfully I just usually don't want to.  This year Lent season came and I approached it like any other... ignoring the nudging something in my heart that was saying maybe I should do something.  But you know, when you decide to ignore God, he thankfully nudges a little harder.  I've been part of this moms group which is filled with amazing women of God. As I would hear some women giving up chocolate, another fasting every breakfast...  I would look at them and think- good for you! awesome! But not for me.
  I am a creature with an addictive personality.  one of them being to TV.  moving to Korea its been a challenge... I don't watch korean tv since its hard for me to understand. And I really can only takes so much of girl meets boy but she's poor so their parents disapprove..love story tangled..someone gets luekemia.. sad sad.   But of course like any addict, I have found a way to watch all my american shows. And then some. The problem is... I just keep clicking away and somehow watch the whole season in a few days.. and so then I start watching random movies... anything. I just want noise.  
  And so when I was doing my bible study ....the question asked: Am I continuing to do something that I know God wants me to stop? i wanted to say.. nnnnoooo?.... and then one of the options read: too much television or movie viewing?  OK. fine. hahah  And so yes, I decided to give up internet TV for Lent.  I'm sure for many this is no big deal but for me it is.
 And its been really great.  Ive been listening to music, sermons.. sleeping earlier. Having time to think :)  writing in this blog hehe..
  This week is passion week and I pray that with a little less 'noise' in my life, I'll be able to hear God a little bit clearer. :)
