Written for Pieces of You

In this day and age, we seem to take so many things for granted, including everyday modern conveniences. What modern convenience can you not imagine living without and why?

Honestly speaking, I’m not such a materialistic girl. Before, I thought, I can live with just books and papers and pens around me. But when I started to learn how use the computer and the internet; I became little by little so much addicted to it.

When I started having an online journal, I couldn’t help but spend so much time searching and editing designs for it even though I don’t have many words to put on it. I took and tried everything that seemed to fit in it. Little by little, I started to beg my mom for more internet privileges. Little by little, my online activities grew a lot more. My interests were diverted to so many internets and computer stuffs that it almost came to the point that all I’m talking about is computers, computers, and computers. Of course, I still have my self-control so I let no such things happen; otherwise, it will only bring me shame.

Talking about it like I wouldn’t be able to live with them (computers and internets); I don’t think I can come to that point. First, I will not let a thing hinder my service to the Lord. I may not know His will for me right now, but I will not put my self to such a deep obsession that can put me down spiritually. My time on the internet is only limited. What I’m doing online may sound like a full waste of time but I’m trying my best to give everything to the Lord. I’m praying that He’ll make my time online more valuable so I wouldn’t be just wasting the precious time He gave me. I want to serve Him in simple things even being online.

I’m still on the flesh, so the desires to be so much obsess on something is still there. I like the internet because I have grown to like it now. I already made lots of friends online and there’s no other way to talk them but online. I keep an online diary so what’s the use if I don’t write down things there? Those are mainly the reasons why I like the internet.

That’s the topic. So I’ll stop right here.
