Way to go, @bluejay! I think this is a wonderful decision on your part! I’ll be praying for you. 🙂
Sounds like a good thing @bluejay. Sure I can pray for you.
@Bluejay good for you. Strength to prioritize is always a good thing, and I daresay you’ve done well this time around choosing which is more important. 😉 I will be praying.
@bluejay – What a great decision! I will be praying for you. 🙂
P. S. You asked how you could help me with my “quiet time”. I think just knowing that you and @Claire-C are doing a similar thing will help me immensely.
Hello, I’m back. So feel free to tag me for writing and that kind of stuff. I’m not sure how often I’ll be able to join as I have a competition that ends soon and I’m no where near ready.
But it’s good to be back.
P.S. Sarah, I’ll still hopefully discipline myself to spend time with God each day. And I’ll be thinking and praying for you and Claire.
@sarah-h @kate-flournoy @daeus @anna-brie @clairec @rolena-hatfield
@bluejay, So glad to have you back. 🙂
Welcome back! How did it go? Are you glad you did it?
@clairec 🙂
@sarah-h Yes, I’m glad I did it. I probably didn’t spend as much time reading the Bible or talking with Him as I had wanted, but I guess it will take a bit for me to hunger for His Word and that kind of stuff. But being off the internet allowed me to play with my little sisters and to be a bit more of the family. I am one to grab a book or sit in front of a movie, so yeah, it did work. 🙂
That’s good. I know I need to spend more time with my little brother, too. I’ve neglected him lately, and that’s not good.
