No Facebook?

My friend, Melissa, has been encouraging me to break an old habit and create a new habit this Lent season. I don't celebrate Lent but I am for interpersonal development. I have plenty of habits I wish to break and plenty of habits I wish I had. So...I did it. I gave up Facebook. I don't want to but I know I should. I found myself spending more time on their than I needed and I would be up till 2 doing homework I should have done earlier when I was wasting my time.

I have thought about it a lot and fought against it a lot because I really enjoy Facebook. I love pictures and stalking people and seeing how old friends are doing. I just love people and genuinely enjoy experiencing part of their lives, even if it is through a computer screen. I don't feel good about this decision in the fact that it is something I'm attached to. But it is time I got over myself and became more intentional with my time. Each minute I have here is a gift and I do not wish to waste it. I am not judging anyone who chooses to be on Facebook (I mean, I'll be back on March 31st) but this is something I need to do.

I have a lot of decisions to make in the next few months and I need to spend time praying and reading and seeking God's will. Hopefully this decision will allow me to be intentional with what I am doing. No more wasting time when I should be writing a paper (hopefully) or being on FB instead of job searching or praying for people.

This is what I need for this season and I hope you join me in praying for wisdom and guidance. I'm excited to see how God transforms my time this next month. I'm also looking forward to blogging more and being free from another form of media.

I posted my decision to be FB free on both Facebook and here so I have no choice but to be held accountable; let the fun begin!
