A revolution!!

I made a decision yesterday, to take a major step back from facebook. I have found that it consumes so much of my time because it is on my phone and it has become a habit to gravitate towards it several times a day. While i'm there I also find my headspace affected more than it should be. I am a words person and sometimes words on there get to me more than I care to admit, words that don't mean to criticise but hurt me anyway, words that also have nothing to do with me but are just negative, whinging, whining, and they drag me down till I forget i'm actually having a good day and 1 little thing going wrong shouldn't change that!!! I want my day to be focused on God and the family He has given me, I shouldn't be reaching for my phone like the morning paper to read, I should be reaching for my Bible, and so a revolution in my life is called for. I have deleted facebook off my phone, and will only periodically be checking it on my computer  (since we have a study at the new house my computer is safely tucked away out of sight during the day and is getting a lot less use!!). My mind is a battlefield and I am making better choices to keep that mind in a healthy place. Today I spent all afternoon playing outside with the kids, kicking a ball around, jumping on the trampoline, and remembering that there is life outside the cyber world and I don't need to know what everyone else is doing all day either. So here's to a social media revolution in my world!!!
