For Me, Personally.....

So excited about this day.  Today is the day, I deactivated my FaceBook account.  After weeks of conviction, I have taken a step in obedience to the Lord. I found myself spending entirely too much time online.  Mostly on Facebook but Pinterest as well.  Not that either are bad, or that I was using them for wrong but they were taking too much of my time. Time that could have been better spent engaged with my family, taking care of things that needed to be taken care of, and most importantly, time in the Word.

My prayer is that I will spend more time in the Word, interacting with my family, taking care of my responsibilities around the house as well as be more intentional about connecting with people. There is a false sense of connection that I believe takes place when Facebook and even Twitter are utilized. The reality is, there is no connection.  They tend to become platforms for one's self. The Lord commands that we die to self daily and neither of the above give way for one to do so. They become platforms for us to boast about what we are doing, have done or will be doing, whether that is the intention of anyone or not.  I don't want to be self focused.  I want to be solely focused.  On the Lord. And through focusing on Him, He will help me focus on what is important.  And that certainly is not me.
