Against The Flow

Ok, so I was watching tv the other night and it was a sad thing when I could no longer just watch my show because I kept checking my facebook all the time...I've decided that facebook is the devil. It makes me laugh to say it in that way because when I think of any statement like that it reminds me of "The Waterboy" movie! Ha! Anyway, I decided that I would deactivate my account, delete the app off of my iPhone and put my Bible app in the position that my facebook app was is. So in doing this when i slide my screen to unlock it I automatically go to the bible instead of facebook:)

I started this Friday night and it I must say it is quite hard to not sign on to the computer and just go check it to see whats going on in my friends lives. But I have come to the realization that if it is only convenient for my 'friends' to only contact me via Facebook then really, what kind of 'friends' are those?

Personally, I think Facebook has taken the fun out of being someones friend. It causes lots of drama, in some cases you read lots of negativity from the news feed, (yes, some are positive), I see pictures of your drunken stupor that I have no desire to see, and the immaturity about some of the posts are quite annoying and redundant.


I'm not big on making resolutions at the beginning of the year because I feel as if I'm only compelled to make change in my life around Dec 27th, contemplate what do I need to change in my life for the better, then it't not something I truly want to change. I think this happens for so many people because they believe that a new year is a new start. Well I believe that every week is a new start! After breaking of the body and drinking of the blood every Sunday with my church family I prepare myself to take what this week has to throw at me learn from the week I just had where to grow. So lets be resolved 52 times a year and not just one.

So here I go, my long journey of going 'Against The Flow' of the modern society. I'm not sure what my goal is through all of this but I know if I stick it out for any length of time I will regain time in my life. Time that was used to procrastinate before, time for myself, for my growth with God, time for my real friends and my always loving family.

Vaya con Dios!
