Everything you do = Act of Worship

I know I've been talking about worship a lot, "worship this...worship that" but I mean IT IS what we're created for. So I've been practicing or rather attempting to keep in my mind that everything I do can be an act of worship to God. And I have to testify, it gives me a TOTALLY different outlook. Most evident to me right now is at my track practices (side note: I'm an athlete). Just repeating over and over "act of worship to God", and keeping in my mind that this workout isn't to please myself, isn't to please my coach, but rather God, has been very rewarding. I'm like shoot, I don't want to disappoint God; I have to use this body he gave me and make him proud. I don't know how to explain it, but it's just been really rewarding for me.

On a different note, school is officially back in session....um yay?? In the midst of everything, especially my hectic schedule, it now becomes really crucial to keep my eyes on God..MUST...NOT...LOOK...AWAY. I'm really glad I abstained from Facebook for the past 10 days (just ended a couple of minutes ago). I haven't gone on the site, but it's like hold up...I abstained from Facebook at a time known for high potential for boredom, and the increased use of social networking sites aka winter break, PAUSE...I seriously made it through! All thanks to the Holy Spirit I must add. Self-control hasn't been my strongest point and this is definitely the longest I've been off the site. It makes me realize that if I can abstain from it during the winter break, I can definitely control my usage during the school year. 

Control Facebook usage = more time for productivity

I love it!! And the main thing I gained?? More time in the Word. I had all this extra time I wasn't using on Facebook and it was like um, what to do now? OK I'll read the bible, I'll search for good Christian music etc.  And of course it enabled me to write here more often. All in all, it was an awesome time. NO regrets. 

I'm so psyched about Self-control....its the fruit of the spirit! Woot woot!

Ciao!
