Okay, well i've been getting yelled at by my mom almost daily now for spending too much time on instant messenger and mypraize. She doesn't understand that I'm on here to help people. That's what I spend a lot of my time doing, and I'm not just craving the social aspect of it. I also do a bible studies with people pretty much daily. I feel like God is calling me to minister to people through the internet, and I can't do that because my mom just threatened to take away my laptop and have all this stuff blocked. I know for a fact that talking to her and telling her this stuff isn't going to work. She's a workaholic and thinks all my free time needs to be spent cleaning the friggin house or doing homework. I do my fair share of chores and I get all my schoolwork done. Yet she's not happy with me. I'm just wondering if there is any way around this. I can't ignore her anymore, because if I just stay on the computer anyways, she'll rip the laptop right out of my hands. I know God says to honor your parents, but I really think he's calling me to help people through the internet, and i'm helping several suicidal people right now. I'm just afriad that if I'm not on for several days in a row, that they're going to do something to hurt themselves because I wasn't there to help them through their problems. K well sorry for rambling... i'm still a little bitter about this right now, so sorry if this came across a little strong. Anyways, any advice would be appreciated.
