I am currently on a hiatus from Facebook. My heart has been super heavy lately, with so much going on in my life. I believe Facebook was taking up too much of my time, so I decided that I needed to part with it for a while. It's been four days and along with way less drama ;) I already have so much more free time! Time I now use to pray. Or to just sit and reflect on God. Or to think. Or just to listen. I have felt the urge to blog lately, but not real sure what to blog about...I have so much running through my heart and my head that I am not sure what I would even say in a post haha But I believe that the more I'm away from Facebook and the more time I have to talk to God and to journal that my blogging will (finally) be back in full swing. I don't want to use my blog to update my life. After all, isn't that what Facebook was for?? haha But I do want to use it to pour my heart out...I learned two years ago that when we are real, open, honest and raw with our lives and our feelings, that it causes our pains and hurts to be used to glorify God. And in turn, they're not wasted. I believe with my whole heart that this is how God wants us to live. Open and honest with each other. And Facebook?? I started feeling like it was a front. That almost everyone on there wanted you to see how great things were and how perfect their lives are. I know better. I'm not saying none of my fb friends were happy and loving life...but I believe most people put on their "everything's fine" face and only show the good. I know I did. And without even meaning to or knowing I was doing it. It's just easier to show how great things are...even when they aren't so great. And I don't want that to me be. I want people to know me and my heart and not just know me by a picture and my latest status update. I'm not saying I won't return to Facebook, but I want to try relationships and life without it for a little while. Not trying to make anyone feel bad for having a Facebook, I had mine for seven years! haha And like I said, I may return someday. But this is my personal conviction and I am excited to spend more of my time invested in more important things. So I'm asking those of you that will, to pray for me as I enter into this new season and pray for my blogging too...I want to get my heart open again to be able to share all the things God is doing in there! :) Thank you for taking time to read my posts. I have 13,000 plus views on here and I haven't even been blogging the past year or so! It amazes me the amount of people that care to read what I have to say. I am completely honored and I want everyone to know its all for Him and all about Him! Praying you each have a wonderful weekend. Lots of love! And God bless you all!
