Here I am again typing. I just read Lisa Whelchel's The Facts of Life and other things my Father taught me. I was at the library last time and went to the religious section like I always do. I saw her book and flipped through it. I knew that I should read it when I saw in one chapter something about....."I waited long enough and God gave me my husband." Well, it was a little about her family and such, but what I got most out of it was when she spoke about what she watched and reads. I have read books as you know and they usually at some point speak about what you are spending your time doing instead of spending it with God. Well, I don't know why this particular book go to me and the others didn't, but I was questioning the books and the TV shows that I watch. The books even for a quick read. Remember I won that wonderful huge tote bag full of things? Well, it was filled with about 5-6 books that I usually wouldn't read. Authors that have at least one sex scene or romantic part that I don't want to read. I think you could leave out the sultry of him unbuttoning her blouse and just tell the story without those kinds of times. So, that's why I usually read a different kind of nonfiction and fiction books. But, I got a series book and a friend from work noticed it and said that she had another book in the series that I should read first. Well, I read it and it totally had the scenes in it. And with what I was reading with Lisa Whechel, it got the thinking of what I read and what I watch. People hate The Jersey Show. I love it. Not enough that I have to stay up to watch it on whatever night it comes on. But, if there is a marathon going on or it's on I will choose it. I don't think that it's good. It's laughable and at times it doesn't even seem real. But, God has opened my eyes or really questioned my eyes on what I am watching. That show along with other reality shows that I LOVE! make sex before marriage, fighting, crude language just a thing that everyone does. Even though it is things that everyone does, it doesn't mean that I should be doing it. Or watching it. You can tell if I have had a bad day or I am going to pull the it's that time of the month saying to say that I have flung around some curse words like it's no big thing. Usually to the people that I know won't judge or have a problem with me. My mom and Jenny have been known to call me out on it, but I still like to voice my concerns/what's bothering me with a big FU. God is calling me to work on it. He wants to be act like I am with him at all times b/c He is with me at all times. And so I have read 1 out of the 3 books for the Reading Bowl and got a bunch of others to re-read or to delve in again. I am the girl that always has a book she is reading in her purse or in her bag. I will also try my best to remember the types of programs that I am watching on TV. What I am staying up later for when I could be in bed or I could be spending that time listening to something better for me.
God Help me.
