Success!!!!!

So coming off a summer of NO TV and maybe a movie on the weekends when I came back to school I went through sensory overload. After 2 days of actually watching TV on my computer I was struck with the realization that I didn't like it. I don't like feeling like I need to keep up with a show or I'm missing out on something. SO I decided not to watch TV for the entirety of soccer season and that movies would be an occasional occurrence but not a constant presence in my life (TV shows on DVD were one of my exceptions but even then they were treated like movies).

Looking back I have succeeded the only TV I've actually watched was a couple minutes of Sports Center and I can't believe the freedom I feel. Don't get me wrong there are several TV shows that people talk about occasionally and I think "hmm I wish I could watch that". But I am so thankful for God's faithfulness and although I can't exactly say how I was rewarded/blessed over the last couple of months with the extra time I am so thankful for the freedom that I feel and the significantly less garbage that I didn't put into my mind. (to the point that when soccer finished yesterday I wasn't even sure if I wanted to watch those shows again)

So to sum up this post, it is definitely something that if you struggle with that I would challenge you to do. I've decided that I will extend my TV show fast until the end of the semester and pray that God will work in my life and continue to change me into the person He wants me to be.
