I'm using this time to draw closer to God AND I'm getting lots done as well. I'm also praying about whether or not to return to said social network after my fast and if I do, how I can monitor my time on it. Actually, I've tried that and while it did work for a while, it didn't last long. I'm enjoying not having it as a go to and I've gained more ideas for blog posts.
However, the one argument that many have brought up is the instant gratification for being in the lives of family and friends. The analogy I immediately got was a woman at her neighbors house from sun up to sun down and sometimes beyond. She didn't get much done in her own home.
Why do we feel the need to share every moment of our lives anyway? Why do we feel we are entitled to know what's going on in everyone's life every single moment? What does this have to do with Proverbs 25:17~Let your foot rarely be in your neighbor's house, or he will become weary of you and hate you.????
Well, I'm discovering I don't NEED to know everything that everyone on my friend's list is doing throughout the day. I have more time to talk personally on the phone with my friends. I have more time to get things done that I really want to do. I have more time to spend with the Lord. And all those incomplete tasks I've been meaning to finish....well, they are now getting completed.
Dare I say it is a since of freedom that I'm experiencing? Well, that's exactly how I feel!!!!! I even have time to blog once again. I will seriously be reconsidering if I need to stay on the social sites or not...in search of a simpler lifestyle.
