Don't waste your life on your blog

 Since a week I'm surfing on http://feelinfeminine.com/, on its blogroll, to be more accurate...I've notice how that these girls running the blogs love the Lord, how their aim is to serve Him. But I want to clarify something. Don't waste your life on Internet and your blog, would say Pastor John Piper. I'm convicted that we write posts for God's glory first, then to keep a trace of our spiritual life: it's a kind of diary. It's excellent, and I'll say it again, I'm sure that the deepest desire of these young ladies is to give glory to our Savior.

But.

You know how attractive the Internet is. You could spend hours and hours on it and I think it's dangerous, even if you spend time doing "good" things, like read a post on how a christian young woman should honor her parents, or even writing a "why I am against abortion" post. You'll say, what's wrong with that ? Nothing, if your priority is to spend much time on prayer and Bible reading than writing "just to write". Yes, sometimes at school, when I have time to write some biblical ideas, I come at home on the evening and post it when I have time. But I'm trying, even if it is difficult, to spend more time praying, studying and all these things.

Personnally, my blogs are for me a way to express myself and to write things I don't want to forget, especially spiritual facts. The blogs runned by christians are very helpful, it's true. I often find a lot of hints et tips while reading them, and they truly are a blessing for every reader. But I also know that a child of God works for the Lord's glory and don't want his or her readers to waste their time; they'd rather like their post to be a blessing for everyone. Me too, on this blog and on the other one in French, I don't want my readers to say: "She seems smart" or something like that, I want them to acknowledge that the holy name of Jesus is above all names.

So you and I will make sure that the time we are spending in writing on your and my blog and on reading others posts is not stealing the precious time of prayer, with our sweet Savior that took the time to die for us.
