Posted in A day in the Life of Ashley
It's been over a year, since I've decided to be unobsessed with the Jonas Brothers. That was a HUGE step in my life. No one really knows how bad my obsession was, and everyone's obsessions are a little different.
My friend, SeaChel, posted something that made me think, and I wanted to post about my obsession.
When I was first introduced to the Jonas Brothers, I didn't think they were anything too special. They were just guys who had good voices, and liked to sing. Big deal. I didn't even think they were cute.
It didn't take me long, before I decided that I was going to change my mind on them. Gracie, my younger sister, bought their self-titled CD, and soon, I began to love their music. That was it. Not their looks, just their music.
I was beginning to like them, more and more, and I was even beginning to make friends who also enjoyed listening to the Jonas Brothers, and thought they were cute.
I began to think that Nick was the most adorable guy in the world, and I didn't think about anything much, other than the Jonas Brothers. I began to hang posters on my walls, save pictures to my computer, and listen to their music, and only their music, ALL the time. I was obsessed.
At the time, I didn't think being obsessed was that bad. I told myself I had OJD (obsessive Jonas disorder), and there was nothing wrong with that.
And boy! Was I ever wrong. I was wronger than wrong. I was really just committing Idolatry. And that is wrong. I didn't think that I was doing anything wrong, because they weren't, like fake gods, but in my mind, they were the only thing I was thinking about. They were the first thing I thought about in the morning and the last thing I thought about at night.
My life revolved around the Jonas Brothers. And I put them in first place, before God. And that was wrong. I know, now, that it was one of the stupidest things that I've ever done, and I don't plan to put any celebrity before God anyone. Or anything before Him.
I could tell you how obsessed I was, like how I had over 600 pictures of them on my computer (taking up a lot of space), or how I had a lot of posters up (I still have one up), or how I looked them up on the internet all the time, to know new things about them. Or, how I could answer you any question about them (Not anymore.)
I haven't looked up the Jonas Brothers in a long time. I really haven't. I don't find it important to know everything about them, because I probably will never meet them. And I'm okay with that. I used to tell myself, someday I'll meet the Jonas Brothers. I've come to the reality that I'll probably never meet them. And, of course, I'm okay with that.
Like I said, it's been over a year since I've been unobsessed. And it's been a very good year! Let me just tell you, my life is better, that I put God ahead of everything else in my life.
I've been reading through the Bible in the year, and I'm really enjoying that. I'm in Hosea, and I should be in the New Testament by October. I can't wait to get to the New Testament- and I should be done with the Bible by December 26th. And I plan on doing it next year as well, because I'm enjoying reading through the Bible, and digging into God's word.
I'll post again soon~ but I thought that this was something very good to post about. I hadn't posted in a while, and at least this was something that I actually needed to write about.
Anyway- hopefully I'll have something to post about soon!
