To all my blogging friends out there, I'm sorry I haven't posted in the past week. I've honestly been trying to give myself a little bit of a break. I feel as though sometimes I'm so consumed with my phone, trying to keep up with friends via Facebook, shopping online, and watching tv that I don't make time for things I actually love and want to do...or the people that I love. I sometimes find myself so consumed with what's going on in the blogging or Facebook world, that I miss what's right in front of me. I've started reading a book lately that has talked about living a simpler life and getting rid of some of the hinderances (yes, even Facebook). I've also recently heard a sermon about making time for those that you love and giving them your best instead of your leftovers. After some thought about what I can do to make more time for those I love and the things that are most important to me...I've come up with a few things I can do or (live without) that may help!
1. Last week I canceled my cable. Kind of a shocker but...it saves me some money and I really don't watch it much...and when I do, it keeps me from doing other productive, meaningful things or having an actual conversation with someone.
2. I didn't get rid of my Facebook account but I did take it off my phone, so I won't be so tempted to check it every 20 seconds.
3. Shop less. Be content with what I have instead of being consumed with what I want or don't have. When it comes down to it, I'd rather someone describe me as someone with a beautiful heart and giving spirit then someone who's always dressed cute or in fashion!
4. Read more. More of my bible, more books in general...just read!
5. Be content. With everything. With the season I'm in, the clothes I have, the apartment I live in, the job I have, and who I am in Christ. Stop comparing myself to everyone else, their clothes, fashion, family, husbands, church...just be content with who I AM in CHRIST!
Well, that's all. I will definitely be blogging again, although I can't promise that it'll be every day. I want to be spending my time with loved ones, being productive, or reading...not always trying to figure out what I'm going to blog about next!
Until next time!
