I was mistaken when I thought I’d have more free time once I was done with school. It seems as though I have more projects to fill in the time that I would have been using for studying and school projects. I’m still creating flyers for the PTA, and I’m currently working on two, count ‘em, two video slideshow projects. I never have a free moment to just relax and breath.
One thing I did do since completing school was return to the Women’s Bible Study Group at my church. We are currently studying Beth Moore’s “Living Beyond Yourself: Experiencing the Spirit of the Fruit”.

Last weekend I think I experienced God’s conviction when my new iPhone 4S froze up on me. I know that I’ve grown too dependent on my phone. It’s like an appendage that I can’t live without. I was relying more on my phone than on God. Well, I didn’t have an uncorrupted backup of my phone, so I lost all my current data and had to reconstruct our checkbook register. As far as I know, all of our transactions have cleared and our account is in check. But there’s still that doubt in the back of my mind. I’m afraid that something I don’t have a record of will clear our account causing it to go negative.

I thought I would go insane in the two days that I was phone-less. But it was quite the contrary. It felt freeing to lose everything. I cleared the clutter off my phone (I’m a self-declared free app junkie), and was at peace with not being able to reach for my phone to check my facebook friends updates, or see what new junk-mail was in my inbox. Since starting fresh, I think I’ve started down the slow road to recovering from being tethered to my phone.
