Facebook hiatus
So tomorrow marks the beginning of Lent with Ash Wednesday. Now I am not catholic but I do think it is good to occasionally purge yourself of unwanted habits or trends in order to better serve God. This year I am giving up Facebook. Over the past few weeks I have really felt God telling me that this is one of those 'idols' that I have in my life ahead of Him. Therefore, starting at midnight tonight, I will be on a Facebook hiatus for 40 days. I hope that over the next 40 days I can re-prioritize my life and focus on the things that truly matter like spending more quality time with my family, increasing my daily quiet time with God and my daily Bible readings rather then spending hours glued to a computer screen. Feel free to call, txt, or email me if you want to know what is going on in my life over the next 40 days or you can follow me on here!

I made my decision about 3 hours ago and came to the same conclusion for pretty much the exact same reasons. Good luck to you! Part of me feels this will be hard for me (which is the point), but the other part of me feels my reasons are more important and therefore it won't be too hard since my head and heart are right where they need to be.
