I have had no internet access for the last 2-3 weeks due to ISP problems, a faulty router and a call centre in India. It has finally been sorted out now, and my internet is back on. Orange sent me a new router and it works fine, however after 2 weeks without the web, it felt like a bit of a novelty again and I wasted a fair bit of time on it yesterday after work. There are resolutions that I am determined to work on;
1 – to update this daily, even if its only a line or two
2 – to keep my internet use to a minimum, not switching the pc on first thing when I get up either
3 – praying and reading the word of God more; I have noticed recently (especially when I didn’t have access to the web), that I spent more time in prayer and in daily reading of the bible and consequently I have had more inner peace, more awareness of His providence, more delight in Him and more revelatory thoughts. Looking back over this diary between the sparse entries at the beginning of the year and becoming more regular now, I put it down to one thing only – prayer. How important this is.
4 – not spending too much time or caring overly much on worldly pursuits
