I've been thinking for days how much Facebook has really taken over our lives. I sent out this text around eight something Wednesday morning, and so many people have already logged onto Facebook before 9 am. That kind of blew me away... Facebook was accessed before our prayers were said, Facebook was accessed before our first cup of coffee, or before we even brushed our teeth...that's how relevant Facebook has become in our lives.
One thing I've been wanting to do for a little over a year now was to deactivate my Facebook account and focus on what's important. I never could do it...I was always scared...I was afraid of not being in touch with people...or loosing pics that I've posted on there since 2006. I had reasons after reasons to not let go. But I've had even more reasons to let go...like all the dramatic folks that have joined the last year or so. My relationship with Christ being put on the back burner or even how many times during a study session we all take for Facebook break.
Well I was really brave this morning. I got up and I determined that I was going to deactivate my account for the rest of the semester. I was doing it first thing Monday morning, but as I walked around the house this morning I thought to myself "why wait till Monday when you can do it right now?" I mean my email account is connected to my BlackBerry which mean Facebook alerts come straight to my inbox, which compels me to check it perhaps during the sermon, why let something distract me I'm going to let go anyways. So..I did...at around 8 something this morning...I the slight Facebook addict hit the deactivate button. I'm not swearing off Facebook forever by any means, but until graduation I must...19 hours, a demanding part time job, and trying to keep my relationship with Christ stable that's more than enough on my plate...I don't need anymore distractions.
I'm really proud of myself, all I could do my text message my two best friends and tell them of my good news :-). YAY ME!!!!!
