So for the start of the new year I've decided to remove myself from facebook and it's many distractions. And these are not positive distractions. I have not committed myself to staying off of it for a certain amount of time, because I don't like setting goals that I can't meet. My main reason is that I found myself checking it immediately when I woke up in the morning. Before I would even get out of bed, I checked facebook to see if anything exciting happened at 3 AM. But did I really care what happened in the middle of the night? No, not really. I think it was more a way for me to just have something to do because being completely still is no longer acceptable in this world.
So about being "completely still"...it is in those moments that I meet God face to face and I'm able to hear what he wants from me. I am able to connect to his VERY SILENT plea for me to be close to him.
My friend sent me this after I told her I was closing my facebook account. It cracked me up and is pretty true for most of us I imagine.
If getting off of facebook brings about nothing more than me spending more time focusing on the good things God has provided me, it will be well worth it!
