In my journal, I can actually write about stuff without having to feel self conscience that someone might not agree with me. I can also write freely about specific prayer requests and thoughts about people without breaking the trust of friends. Writing in my journal is my favorite way to talk to God. I feel like I'm more in tune with what God wants of me and how He wants to use me.
It's also been amazing to look back on some of my prayers and just see how God is answering them.
Sorry this is short, but figured I'd at least share why I'm not on here as much. For our family blog... well, that's a different story. I just got behind on that one. I'm not sure if I'll try and catch up or just leave it as is. I had kind of started to steer away from writing stories and just posting pictures with captions anyway. So it was kind of like Facebook, but nicer.
Rabbit trail .... I've considered leaving Facebook all together, but it's sometimes the one way that I feel connected to other people when I'm at home all day with the kids. Plus, some friends only do event invites via Facebook and I feel like I'd be missing out on those as well.
I have been cutting back though on whose information shows up in my news feed though -- Some people were just outright inappropriate, some came across as pushy, some people posted five million times a day, some used Facebook as a platform to make themselves look good, others bashed their friends or spouses on a regular basis, while there is also political articles, articles on food, cancer, exercise, parenting, blah blah blah... It just gets to be overwhelming and is enough to make one feel quite inadequate at times. So while I love Facebook to stay in touch, I'm realizing that sometimes I just have to let go of people too... and it's going to be ok.
Guess that was longer that I intended. lol. Thanks for bearing with my random thought process.
