Wow! I randomly decided last Friday to go on a "fast" from Facebook for 3 weeks until I am finished student teaching. This has been the hardest three days of my life on the internet! I was in such a habit of checking Facebook, often multiple times a day, that now I have to pull myself away before I sign into my FB account out of sheer habit. I am ashamed of how quickly I got addicted to this social website. In fact, I probably wasted more time on here than I have wasted other places during the course of my life.
How many times have I simply logged on to see if someone commented on a post I put up for the sole purpose of seeking to gain ungodly attention? I am ashamed to admit it, but that is the truth. Yes, I am still swamped with busyness as I seek to finish out my last days of student teaching strongly. Yes, ridding myself of this Facebook addiction is hard. However, it is an awesome feeling to seek strength from the Lord during this time of trials in my life.
He will lift you up and give you all the strength you need if you just ask Him. Quitting Facebook for three weeks is just another area where I am sure God will teach me to grow in Him and seek His face more. May His name be praised forever and ever! For He has done great things. God IS in the business of saving lives.
"Remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead, descended from David. This is my gospel, for which I am suffering even to the point of being chained like a criminal. BUT GOD'S WORD IS NOT CHAINED. Therefore, I endure everything for the sake of the elect, that they too may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory." 2 Timothy 2:8-10
