The Office

I, Jennifer Salone, am giving up watching The Office. Yes, you've read correctly. I'm "breaking up" with my absolute favorite show.

No more PB&J.
No more, "Dunder Mifflin, this is Pam."
No more crazy Michael and Dwight antics.
No more Nard Dog sing-a-longs.
No more.

Why?

The Spirit convicted my on Friday while I was watching the latest episode. What I was viewing was not of any benefit to me. So much of it was disgusting.

Yet, at that moment, I tried to argue my way out of it. "God, are you sure? Maybe the next episode won't be so bad..."

Of course the Lord brought this to my attention again on Sunday while at the Breakfast Club. The Lord kept telling me during the discussion, "Jenn, you need to stop watching The Office," over and over again. After a while, I knew I needed to listen to Him. Waiting for a third time would be ridiculous. So, I surrendered.

Right now I know it's going to be easier said then done. But this show doesn't rule over me. I get to take these 30 "extra" minutes a week and spend them with my King, instead of on Hulu.

The Lord is in control of it all. If He says I can watch The Office again later then I will do so with caution. But now, it's time to not worry so much about a fictional paper company, but to focus in on the reality of the love my Redeemer has for me.

Surrender. It's my Valentine's gift to my Maker, Savior, Friend...my True Love.



And yes, you can still call me Beasley.
