So, I got this post idea from a friend's blog, who got it from Matt Chandler's blog. (Just wanted to make sure and give credit where credit is due.) This particular topic hit me pretty hard because I have been convicted like crazy for the amount of time I put towards meaningless things. I have been less than dazzled by things in life as of late, mainly because I'm not putting forth the energy to be apart of anything that SHOULD truly inspire.
So, I have decided to jump on the bandwagon and make two lists. One listing the top 5 things that rob me of my zest and joy in Christ, and the other listing those things that inspire and drive my affections for Him.
Robbers:
1. Too much time online; facebook, blogs, etc.
2. T.V.
3. My need for "downtime" (this is an easy one to hide behind)
4. Staying up late for no reason
5. Shopping
Inspirations:
1. Reading/Journaling
2. Growing deep in relationships
3. Music: Good, simple,(especially) acoustic sounds with meaningful words
4. Being outdoors
5. Traveling
6. Podcasts (especially Driscoll and Piper)
(I know I said 5, but couldn't cut one out!)
Not sure what this does for you, but either way I hope you take a few minutes to think about what fills your life right now. Are they things that inspire and fill you with a joy for Him? Or do you find life lacking quite a bit at the moment, and wonder why life seems so black and white and without color?
