Growing or Decaying

I've just got a reflection for today.  As I was sitting with God this morning, I was a bit convicted about the amount of time I spend on my phone.  Really, any free time I have, I am on my phone.  I'm checking email, looking at Facebook, exploring Instagram, reading articles, and what have you.  I'm not addicted in the sense that I need to have likes and shares or compare myself to others.  It's just literally a waste of time.  It's doing something so that I'm not "bored".  I'm changing that.  I will no longer be on my phone at any and all down time. I want to do things with my time that grow my relationships with others and with God.  It doesn't mean that I won't go on Instagram and explore or that I won't read about England's royalty. ;-)  It just means that I am going to be more purposeful with my time. I'm going to let myself be "bored" and use that time to talk to God, connect with a friend, or talk to my husband.  I was reminded today that my relationship with God is either growing or decaying, it is never just stagnant. And being on my phone is probably not growing me most of the time.  Just a thought for today.
