So yesterday i spoke too soon, for some reason i just couldn't get into oblivion yesterday and actually feel against playing it for a few days, if not a week or more.

if i decide to play games over the next few days i'll probably be jumping into bf2 or graw, to get a hang of those games.

i think perhaps part of the reason for my reluctance in games the past couple days (while i didn't mention it before, it has been the past couple days and not just yesterday-it took yesterday to confirm my suspicions), is that God has been working on my heart. I've realized that i need a better balance in my life, with God being the center of it. now, i know he doesn't forbid playing games or going to movies or doing anything else for that matter (as a matter of fact, 1st Corinthians 10:23 says "Everything is permissible"—but not everything is beneficial. "Everything is permissible"—but not everything is constructive). Now, i may be taking that verse out of context, but i think that it means that while i am not denied anything, i do have to make propper decisions with what i do have. Which means setting proper priorities and makign good decisions with my time. again, i believe that means making God the center of my life and having everything else revolve around Him.

While that doesn't bode well with my gamer side, or any other side of myself for that matter (we are all selfish and all want what we want), i want to please God more. So i think i'm going to start setting limits on myself, limits to the extent of 2 hours of playing a day on weekdays (mon-fri) and up to 4-5 hours a day on weekends (sat-sun), excluding special occasions (lans, etc.) In the other time i have available (mainly in the evenings) i will read the bible or other God-centered work of literature either in silence or whilst listening to worship music.

Yes, i think that best for me.
