Death to Social Media

 Today I decided to say goodbye to all social media other than blogging and instagram. It's so easy to get caught up on twitter and Facebook that it really can distract you from what's really important. I know I'll say I'm going to get on fb or twitter next thing I know an hour has passed.

It's the end of a long semester and of course all I want to do is escape from doing what I'm actually supposed to be doing. I'm tired and the last thing I wanna do is write two ten page papers and study for various finals.

The constant text messages, twatching , tweeting and Facebook notifications can really dull your spiritual senses as well. I'm at a critical moment in my life and with God that He is really speaking to me and working in my life. I don't want to miss out on hearing him because I was bogged down by what party is coming, who is tweeting what and what the latest gossip is? When I allowed myself to be more concerned with what is going on in the social world then what God is saying, here lies the problem.

God has an unique plan for each and everyone of us. I'm not sure of what his plan is for me, but I know he's definitely gonna require a response and sacrifice out of me.

It's critical though more than ever that I focus on the tasks at hand and FINISH STRONG.
