Good thing my internet is slow.

     A half a second ago upon finishing my Title I decided to change what my topic of the day is going to be.  To feed your curiosity, that probably isn't hungry, I was going to write about how irritating it is to have a slow internet.  Luckily my new topic is closely related though it's been beaten to death. Nevertheless, I will write about it.
     So my internet is slow today, and yesterday, and the day before.  My Itunes account won't let me search for music because of Error Code 11222 or something. Last night Jamima ate my costco muffin. I can never get into my Bank of America account online for some unknown reason.  My hair doesn't fall in just the right way every day. The drying machine is ridiculously loud. The traffic lights here are about eight seconds long.  My phone is....and the...stopped working...and then!.....broken...and...and...and...    O.o
     I'll save you the time of my troubles but my point is, the internet isn't going satisfy me. Music isn't going to satisfy me. My half eating muffin isn't going to satisfy me. Bank of America? You're website won't satisfy me.  The way my hair falls, whether good or bad, isn't going to satisfy me. A quiet drying machine, though a blessing, wouldn't satisfy me. Traffic lights that allow more than one car at a time? Well maybe. No, not even that.  There is always going to be something else.  Some other distraction that's going to inevitably lead to a growing frustration and my eyes off the Lord. Meditation. I think that's key.  I'm not talking about sitting Indian style with your hands held up with your pointer and thumb together saying "me me me me meeeee."  Because one: meditation should be about, "you you you you youuuu."  It should be centered around God, and his Word.  And two: you'll just look silly. This is what I've been finding out, not about looking silly about keeping my eyes on the Lord.  The more I look to God, the more that other stuff doesn't matter.
     I know this world is fast pace, It's hard to find time to actually sit down for an hour or two just reading God's word.  Not only that but actually THINKING about what you just read.  That's real meditation.  When you're reading God's Word, it's God's words, to you!  Some times I get in the habit of just making a quick prayer before a meal, and before I go to bed, every once in a while I'll branch out and pray in the morning for a few minutes.  What a concept right? The relationship I think should work both ways.  Take Luke and I, if I just talked and talked and talked and never stopped to hear what he had to say, then what will I end up knowing about him?  Not a whole lot.  Praying and talking to God is wonderful and nice, but try and be sure to get into His Word, and let him talk back to you.  Find out more about the one you've been talking to all this time. He's God some pretty amazing things to tell you. You just need to listen!
