Hey Everybody. So, first I think I should tell you what 52 Weeks Without is. Sometime in November of 2012 this little idea came into my head. It went something like this: Facebook makes me mad. I spend way too much time on Facebook. I should see if I can go a week without Facebook. You know, I also drink way too much caffeine. I should cut back on that. And the idea kept growing. My life has become so cluttered with distractions that I can't focus on one thing. I've begun to lose God among all my video games, FaceTubes, books, and what have you. I feel like He put it in my mind and on my heart to do this sort of year long, miniature Lent, thing. Every week for the year of 2013, I'm going to go without... something. Facebook, tv/videos, music, caffeine, meat, books, video games. Honestly, I don't know every week yet. I barely have January figured out.
I can't promise I'll be able to do it. I can almost guarantee, at least three times, I will slip up and have or do what I'm supposed to not. I will try though. Oh! And I'll blog about it too. I'll update what week I'm on (2 currently), what I've given up for the week (Facebook), and probably just talk about stuff.
This blog is not me saying "Hey, look at me! I'm doing something!" This is me trying to honor and get closer to God. That right there is the main focus and goal of this whole thing. If anyone has any ideas of what I could do for a week, I would love to hear it. If anyone is interested in keeping me accountable, let me know. If anyone reads this, thanks for reading! Well, I'm off! Enjoy some music.
