Good morning! I am happily at home on a Friday since it is Carnaval break at our school. I have an unwritten list of things that need to be done and today's word is "willing". Wow! If you think of the word "will" it makes you think of things that will definitely get done. To be willing to do something means that you really will make it happen. It means you have that pull in your heart to help someone. Then it makes me think of God's will. He knows what we will be doing every single second. I'm not proud to say that I waste plenty of time with this laptop looking at Facebook and reading emails and other things. I'm pretty sure He doesn't have any of these things on his list for me to do be doing.
For Lent, many of my friends have written that they are taking a break from the computer time wasting and will focus more on better pursuits such as prayer, reading the Bible etc. I think maybe that is a really good thing and something that we could all benefit from outside of this short time period known as Lent. Willing. Am I willing to surrender this downtime or habit? The internet and all of its vast information and pull on us is really addictive. Willing means we need to be intentional in our actions and use what God has given us to be a more effective individual. Are you Willing to give something up for a better life?
