so i realized i've given sooo much time to facebook and twitter....they've become idols i worship before God. so it's time to take a break. i'll blog how it's going once in a while....oh and this break is for a month. oh h....
it's weird not going straight to facebook when i wake up [IDOL ALERT] or get home from work...or even while at work. i've been more productive at work....started to read a book (blue like jazz by donald miller) in my spare time instead of facebooking. instead of venting online i've been venting to God. it's been pretty interesting so far.
talking to God i feel so exposed and like there's nothing i can hide nor want to. He's not waiting to whip me with some leash if i say something unpleasing to Him. it's a big journey of trust i'm on. trusting that even though i'm not "in the know" like i feel i am when i'm on facebook, God's got my best in mind. i'm not missing out on stuff. "what you don't got you don't need it now"-well said in u2's beautiful day song...it just came to mind...

i feel like i can hear God a bit more....here's His dealio: He wants to open up the can of hope in everybody. the problem isn't so much in that fact lots of people don't have hope, it's where we place our hope on that screws us up.
like today i was at winn dixie, this grocery store in florida, and an old man before me in the checkout line was buying lottery tickets. i thought, "he must have high hopes that out of every dollar he spends weekly on the lottery, one day he'll score the winning ticket...that's a really high hope...on a piece of paper."
i think it's safe to say there's a right hope and his name is JEsus. foreal. He's where our hope needs to be on. the hope that never lets you down.
