This past week I read about Lot's wife in the bible, and how she had been an obedient wife but when leaving the city of Sodom she had looked back. When the angels told them to flee they said don't look back, and Lot's wife did so and turned into a pillar of salt.
(Read Genesis 19:1-26)
The last page of the week said to take a week away from television, magazines, and shopping, inother words your attachments, and find time to pray and reflect.
I have challenged myself to do so this week. I will refrain from joining my community on theBump.com, television, and try to avoid too many baby things such as registry.
We have also been in a series at Access church called Fresh Air. Basically a focus on important things and fixing yourself internally and not trying to do so much externally. Our principles in this series have been:
#1: Fall in Love with Jesus
#2: Eliminate Hurry from your Life
#3: Give up Control
So with the challenge I am taking this week I am looking to God, and stopping to actually listen to him and not all the other hurried voices in the world. I will work on relaxation, and breathing. (good things for this pregnant lady)
Hope you all have a good week and find time to challenge yourself in small ways and CHOOSE LIFE!
