I spend a
lot of time on the computer – too much time
I am
addicted to some of the games on Facebook. One was called Egg Buddies.
While
staying at Titoki I thought I would use that time to break the habit.
There is a
computer there you can use and I was on it a couple of times.
I prayed
about it and asked God to help me break the addiction.
While I was
there God showed me and had some things put to me, that showed me a glimpse of
what he has in store for me if I am obedient to Him
When I got
home I deleted egg buddies, word buddies, a farm game and gardens of time from my profile.
But I couldn't stop do I started another user to just play games.
I thought this would help hide what I was doing.
Over the
next few weeks God showed me the stupidity of the games. It’s playing with
pixels. It’s stealing my time. Part of me had this secret desire to be better
than everyone else. To be the winner and beat them all. I would play nicely
sometimes and then other times wouldn’t give points, gold coins or eggs to any
other players so I wouldn’t help them because I wanted to beat them. I would
stay up late just to gain a higher score. I would get cross if I couldn't get on the computer to play the games.
I was addicted to the games.
God showed
me the realization of this. Was I prepared to be this addicted to Him.
I so wanted
to.
I deleted
the games user I had created and other
games off my user.
Its been nearly two months since then and I had to ask one of my daughters what one of the games were I had forgotten it.
I have found
more time and God is using me.
This became my prayer
1 To
you, O LORD, I lift up my soul;
2 in
you I trust, O my God. Do not let me be put to shame, nor let my enemies
triumph over me.
3 No one whose hope is in you will ever be
put to shame, but they will be put to shame who are treacherous without excuse.
4 Show me your ways, O LORD, teach me your
paths;
5 guide me in your truth and teach me, for
you are God my Saviour, and my hope is in you all day long.
6 Remember, O LORD, your great mercy and
love, for they are from of old.
7 Remember not the sins of my youth and my
rebellious ways; according to your love remember me, for you are good, O LORD.
8 Good and upright is the LORD; therefore he
instructs sinners in his ways.
9 He guides the humble in what is right and
teaches them his way.
10 All the ways of the LORD are loving and
faithful for those who keep the demands of his covenant
Good on ya Mumsey for getting rid of those time wasting games esp that egg buddies.It always amazed me the lengths some people went on these games AND the nastiness as well.Something I can gladly do without.Hope your going well..:)
