Imagine a world before Facebook. Yep. I went there.
I was spending time with the Lord a few weeks ago, and felt a very clear confirmation to spend some time away from the blue-n-white ball & chain, and to start focusing on other things instead. On what sort of things? Oh I don't know.....just off the top of my head...
- BEING with my children instead of posting photos of them for others to "be" with them
- SOAKING myself with the Word, instead of sleepily reading my bible 5 minutes before I fall asleep after an hour of Candy Crush.
- Crafting, baking, cheering at Sam's baseball games without phone in hand, reading BOOKS, and WRITING letters.
This is going to hurt, people. I think that God is totally laughing his heavenly socks off right now because remember He told me to hide in Him more and be less connected weeks ago. And now that Lent is almost over, I am going to give something up.
I always have to do things the hard way.
I will also be blogging daily. Writing is my first love - and heck, my profession - but I really miss the not-getting-paid-for-it pastime of writing. Expressing, crafting poetry, hindsight realizations and everything in between.
So expect me here daily, or at least as daily as my life allows!
Is it stupid to give up Facebook in the midst of promotions for Alice in Wonderland and our summer camps over at Royal Stage? Oh, probably. But I happen to enjoy a challenge. And I REALLY enjoy the feeling of obedience to God...I don't really experience that nearly enough these days.
