Blinking Light

First post! I'm going to write about some of the things God is doing in my life, as well as things I learn from the Bible, on this blog. I can tell you now that it won't be as good as iwriteontuesday.blogspot.com. I spend an hour to two hours on every post there, edit multiple times, I can't do that every day. But it will be from my heart.

God showed me today, again, that He cares about the music I listen to. I don't believe in telling other people what music to listen to, but I do believe that God shows us these things. I guess I had fallen back into that place where I didn't think He cared that much. He must have more important things to think about than the radio station I'm playing right now. Right?

So I've been listening to some pretty worthless, not-uplifting-in-any-way music. On my phone. At work. Today my phone died and I could NOT get it to charge. Normally, when it's dead and I plug it in, a tiny red light begins to blink in the corner. It didn't. I asked one of the IT guys, he tried several chargers and outlets. He couldn't do anything with it.

I left it connected by usb charger to my open laptop in my locker. I do that sometimes so that it can charge in a safe place. Ten minutes later I opened the locker again, hoping to see that tiny blinking red light. Nothing.

So I pretty much decided that I didn't have a phone anymore. I was losing a TON of information, downloads, audiobooks, contacts, texts... it was really depressing. If you've ever lost or broken a phone, you know what I'm talking about.

I stood in front of my locker with my phone resting against my forehead. I closed my eyes and told God that if He would give me back my phone, I'd honor Him in the things I listened to. I'd delete my radio app because of a certain magic station that tempts me away from the straight and the narrow. I'd listen to the Bible, to sermons and to books, "redeem my time." I pulled my phone away from my forehead. And the second after I did so, I watched a tiny red light begin to blink.
