I have been troubled lately; troubled by addiction to the internet and various forms of media. I am quite sure that if I logged how much time I spent on Facebook, Bingo Blitz, and Words with Friends in a day I would be ashamed. I have wasted too much valuable time playing and not enough time digging deeper with God and my family. In addition, I can see how my attitude and thoughts are being influenced by the negativity that I am seeing on Facebook lately. There are plenty of great updates and positive reads on Facebook, however I am wrapped up in and turned off by all the forceful political agendas out there. I have had enough.
Therefore, I feel convicted to take an extended break from Facebook and any other media that pulls me away from the pure and contrite spirit I long for. Starting at 12 AM on March 29 I will begin a 40 day fast from Facebook. At the earliest I will not log back in until Tuesday, May 7th.
It is my prayer that this would be a great time of reflection, worship, prioritizing and enrichment. I will put regular journal updates on this blog; recording my journey. May God be honored, glorified, and put back on the throne of my heart through this fast. Amen.
