I have found a good friend to pray with every evening. We talk about our days and what we need prayer for. And he is doing the challenge as well, and I trust and respect him, so it's a great situation.
And as for the useless activity that I'm giving up, God has shown me a couple. But the one I am excited about is giving up Facebook and MySpace. I never realized until Monday when God revealed it to me how much I use Facebook to waste time. And it's not even to "stalk." If I'm doing homework, I'll just click on it to check it just to distract myself. And while the convenience of both is great, I just don't need them for 30 days. It's been tough so far. I've had to set up ways to keep myself from going on it, but it will be good. I can't wait to not need to use it all the time, and be content with not checking it frequently.
And I'm reading Philippians right now, which is one of my favorite books. As God reveals application to me, I will be sure to share it with you. One thing I learned yesterday comes from chapter 1, verses 3-6. I need to be more diligent about praying for people. And the way Paul phrases it, he thanks God every time he remembers them. So when I think of someone during the day, I should use that as a prompt for prayer.
Alas, I've rambled on. Until next time...
