Social Media and finding a balance

Each day, I wake up I look at the social media to see what everyone has been up to...

Facebook, Instagram, Email, text messages. 

Do you think about how much time we spend looking at what other people are doing?

How much we compare our lives?

Make rash judgements on what we see?

How much we post things to boast and be perceived in a certain way?

I contemplate getting rid of Facebook because so often I see it as a source where people using it for the wrong intentions....broadcasting things are irrelevant, a lack of encouragement, and even hurtful toward others.

I debate about it and then remember how I would lose touch with my many friends around the globe, that I could miss an opportunity to reach out to someone who is hurting, that moment when you share a bit of the gospel, grace, and love to someone who desperately is searching for approval and love.

I have decided to start daily encouragement for everyone. It will not focus on my successes, but focusing in on my failures and what I learn from them.  Our society and culture is thriving on peoples success and their lavish lifestyles. Why not instead focus on life, the reality of it? The hardships we face, the trails and tribulations that seem to never end only to remind everyone theres hope even in the dark tunnel.

Be intentional

Be Bold

Live out the gospel

 Are you allowing social media to be a way to share the things that are vitally important to your life or are you using it to blend in with our culture?

This is the beginning of something new- a season of encouragement
