Welcome back! We are on day 5 of the 31 Days Unplugged challenge. At this point, we have unplugged from all forms of social media (Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram) during the day. We are still using these things after the sun goes down, but we are dedicating our days to God and enjoying the abundant life he has promised to us.
If you’re like me, you are finding yourself with some extra time on your hands. By cutting down on time in front of the computer or staring mindlessly at my cell phone, I have lots of time to do other things, even some things I have been putting off by saying I just didn’t have time to get to it.
Throughout the month, I (and some great guest-bloggers) am going to be giving you some inspiration for things to do to fill up the time that you will inevitably find throughout your day.
Challenge #4-Do something you have been putting off for awhile. This could be cleaning or organizing, calling someone, writing thank you notes, ironing clothes, whatever it is you have been procrastinating. You know, the thing you think about every day, but never seem to get done?
I have been wanting to organize my jewelry box for weeks, ever since I got a wonderful new (to me) jewelry box that was my grandma’s. I have been keeping my jewelry stuffed in a drawer in our bedroom, and it was so messy that I could hardly open the drawer, and a lot of my jewelry was turning into a tangled mess. I didn’t even want to wear any of my jewelry because it was such a hassle to get to it!
I feel so great having this done, and all I had to do was take 15 minutes I would have otherwise wasted scrolling through Facebook.
Ephesians 5: 15-16 says “So be careful how you live. Don’t live like fools, but like those who are wise. Make the most of every opportunity in these evil days.”
So let’s spend our new found-time wisely!
