The end of THE challenge

So, the ending of my SPAM challenge has come and I can actually say that it wasn't near as bad as what some of you may have thought! In the beginning I was thinking,  a whole week without my secular movies and music=no way of survival but I made it! I mentioned in my last blog how I created a special playlist for the week and even though it only had 100 something songs out of the 600 something I have, I did survive. Some weren't actually considered christian groups, but the way I see it; if it somehow glorifies God, it counts. It doesnt have to have the Christian title or the lyrics. As long as it doesnt have the unwholesome, its good. And so thats what I did and believe it or not I kept myself so busy that I didnt even have time for movies that particular week. GUESS WHAT I feel like I am a stronger woman now because of it and feel like I did one of the best things I could possibly do for myself. I have more challenges I am starting up...more on that later though. :P

The Challenge Part 2!!

So, as you all know from my last blog, I have decided to take on this challenge. It is mainly to help me grow closer to God, and I am doing this for a week by not listening to secular music or watching secular media. I have mixed feelings cause I will admit that this has been hard for me! But it has also been really great for me. I have only been watching movies that my sisters own, and I must say it has been fun to go back to the movies that I watched growing up. Plus going back to classics such as Andy Griffith and such. The music has been the hardest thing for me though, for as most of you can guess, music is pretty much my life. However, I realized that I can listen to anything that doesnt have language in it. So I have made a playlist just for the week and have been surviving off it. Kind of hard since I only have 155 songs out of 678 that are acceptable to my challenge, but heck-I've made it half a week!!

The S.P.A.M. challenge!

No, it isn't a can of fish...it stands for Spiritual Preparation for A God Moment. Something like that-I got the idea from this study I am doing in the Prayer of Jabez. This girl apparently takes one week off from secular music and movies. Now for me thats a bit hard, considering the movies and music I own all have something in them that would definitely get me off track from this goal. Soooo I want to attempt it for 7 days. This (Sunday the 20th of March) is my first day. I love a challenge so why not?? :D
