Ok.. so It's What Day 3 Now, and It's Time

So, I feel like this social media fast is getting easier from everyday not using it. Along with it being easy, I hit these obstacles like people telling me they're surprised I am even doing it. Surprised that I can do. Surprised that it would be that hard.

I try telling them, it may not be hard for you... and I honestly didn't think about til I did this fast... I AM addicted to Facebook, and before this, I could see myself growing an addiction to twitter. I am a little sad though that I am not sure where I can figure out how Aaron Shust and Matt Hammitt's boys are doing. All I know is from my perspective, all I can do it pray. Pray that what ever is going on good or bad that God knows the situation and their needs and that's all I can pray. I can also praise that many others are praying and the power of prayer is going to impact the life of these families.

I can tell you that is getting easier, but also I sometimes catching myself just casually, like it's no big deal about to hit the Facebook button on my phone, but control myself and scroll down and hit that doodle jump button... just so you know doodle jump is this totally awesome, totally addicting game. Maybe I'll have to fast from that too soon. hahaha.

I totally heard that my blog got a shout-out from Sean Copeland, from Air1 Radio morning show DJs Sean and Mandy. I want to say thanks! I give you guys a shout out and I'll have to wake up alittle bit earlier to hear how you guys are doing on your fast.

So I know I have been wanting to grow closer to God and you know since the beginning I have learned that I have kind of placed God off that highest place of my life and put Facebook there.  You may think how could you do something like? The answer for me is simple. It's where, in, problably the first time in my life, I actually know what's going on. I, you could kind of say, never intentionally thought myself as God, but I could look at people's profiles and know what's going on, I would who was in a relationship and I would even consider myself a stalker to some bands, all thanks to Facebook, it makes it easier. It gets me thinking sometimes, I need to stop, and I have.

My friends tell me all the time, oh yeah, I am hardly on facebook. On the outside I think, ok that's cool. On the inside most of the time its, yeah, I'm jealous, I wish I could do that.   And there's one word in that is key... do you know what is it? Could. Of course I could, but am I willing to do it. I am thinking after this week, I will most definitely be willing and able to take time from Facebook and log onto my faithbook.

I haven't read the Bible straight through and I think that's my new goal that will try to accomplish.

If you haven't started the fast, feel free to start now. It's ok. I NOW think any break from Social Media is a great idea and definitely worth the time away.

Lord,
I just praise you for giving me the strength thus far to keep from Tweeting, or Facebooking. I praise you for the support I have from some of my friends. I also praise you for the lessons you are teaching me through this fast whether it's what you have just taught me or what you will teach me. I pray that you would not only continue to give me strength through the rest of this week, I pray that you would give it to all the others who are participating. I pray that you would a peace of mind and maybe even during this week, show us a talent that we may not have even realized we had. Bless the rest of our weeks, and lead us away from any kind of temptation.
AMEN.

Day Two and God was Definitely With Me

Hey guys sorry I didnt post something last, I was at UMKC for a worship service with totally awesome friends. But I did want to say, like it says in my title, God was with me. He brought into my day, people from my work who just so happened to be Christians and we had talked for a while about what we thought. Then its been on my heart to learn sign language and at work God had brought a deaf guy and his mother and his mother taught me some things like "have a good day." Then one of my new managers knows sign language and she will start teaching me sign. And I am so excited about all of it. God really made it easy for me totally easy for me to forget about Facebook and Twitter. Like Air1 DJ Ashton said "I may never go back to Facebook" as for me. I won't be using it as much. We'll see how the rest of the week goes.
