It is such a sad statement when I miss facebook after not going on it for 2 days
I never realized how much dependance I had formed on a website
How much of my life circled around a URL
I made the decision to not go on facebook for week. To take all the time I was normally spending on facebook and spend time with God.
To stop using facebook as a distraction and take all the time to re connect with God.
And it has been good. I have been getting back on the right page. Getting back to the basics with God. Seeing him come back into my life and walk with him hand in hand.
God has been speaking so much into my life, giving me the chance to get my thoughts down on paper, really think through all the craziness that is my life.
I love being with God in the morning. To be able to start my day off with him and not someone else's status updates
Instead I get updates from God and I get to be filled with him instead of the frivolous thoughts of others
I love God for doing this but it is hard. Hard to not feel connected. Being able to voice my thoughts to the world around me. I loved facebook for keeping me connected to the people near and far.
This is something I need to do to get re connected. I need to let go of my need to always be connected, always be in control.
I need to let go of the need to be filled with the love of others and be filled with the love of God.
I hear you Amanda. I was so very dependent on facebook as well which is one of the reasons that I deactivated my account. I wanted to get rid of a distraction in my life that was pulling me away from God.
ReplyDeleteI admire you for goning on strike from facebook and recentering you life around God.
I've got the strike part down, I'm just struggling more with the recentering part.
In closing... I love you Amanda. =)
It becomes something you become so attached to. Well I am impressed that you were able to give up facebook for good. It is definitely hard to recenter on God. There are so many distractions out there.
ReplyDeleteI love you to =)
