Social Nunnery? Introduction

A convent is defined as a community of persons devoted to religious life under a superior.

So like the blog name is, this is my convent. My superior is the Heavenly Father and my devotion is to His word and my abstinence is to... I guess the message of the world, the voice of the world. I feel at times recently so up and down, so back and forth. In my mind and heart there comes along the desire to stray from the path He has placed me on. I hate it, it is this war in my heart and mind to go after things of the flesh but in my heart and mind I know He has the ultimate plan that is best for my life. And it's not the drugery of eat broccoli because it is good for you - I cannot think of an analogy to describe the tastiest, all satisfying, 'healthy' treat that has been prepared especially for you, there is joy and peace to be found in following His will. When it comes down to actually stepping off that path I am left with I know His way IS BEST...but the wandering in my heart shows me there is an immaturity, there is a deepening, where are these thoughts, feelings and lies coming from. 

Matthew 15:8-9 These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. They worship me in vain; their teachings are but rules taught by men.

So I have come to the place of asking myself what am I feeding my heart and mind with - content. Social media content, reels and articles full of the "teachings of men", my phone is full of notifications and all this that I am enbibing - it is producing a viewing area for the enemy to place his lies and propaganda. I have bought into it whether conciously or subconsiously it is there and I really need to step back, come back to the present, my life and be filled with the spirit of God not the spirit of the world.

Luke 6:43 “No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit. Each tree is recognized by its own fruit. People do not pick figs from thornbushes, or grapes from briers. A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.
