Oops, I did it again…

That’s right, the evil world of “The HIlls” sucked me right back in for their season premier last night. I hate it. I don’t know what it is about this show that my flesh finds so enticing…

The Hills

Beyond my better judgement, I decided to give in and watch the new episode of MTV’s The Hills. I prepared by watching the Top 10 Most Memorable Moments of The Hills, stopped for a little accountability and when 10:00 rolled around (my usual bed time), I hit the sofa, PJ’s and granola bar in hand, and allowed my self to sit through 30 minutes of gut wrenching reality TV (ha ha).

I honestly could not give you one thing that I really enjoy about it. It depresses me, not only because it makes me lust over things that I should not be lusting over (e.i. clothes, money, cars, fame ) but because I just feel bad for these people who think they are so happy when clearly, they aren’t. I think the one thing that this wretched show does do is make me even more grateful that I am a Christian and my  friends are Christian s and that without God in my life, I could very well be in the same sinful situations and have the same messed up mentality that these people do.  

So as of today I am conviced about my lack of wisdom and dicernment. I know that this show as well as gossip mags. used to be  idols of mine and I know that now that I don’t struggle (as much) does not permit me to go back to them, these things don’t do anything but encourage and temp me to sin… again and again…

Please be praying that God will give me the strength to give it up completely (again) and that I will not be tempted to even think about watching it. Pray that I will find my joy in the Lord and his gifts, not the gifts of the world. And.. that I will not listen to myself, but be talking to myself when I try to convince myself that even watching the highlights are “ok” to watch.
