Facebook breaks are A MUST!

I hope everyone is doing well today as you read this. I hope you are reading this and are sipping a cup of coffee, or kissing your sweet baby, or listening to some amazing music. I hope you are filled with peace and hope. I say all this because since I have had my last baby I have not been filled with peace at all! I have prayed, read my bible, received encouragement from friends, etc... but nothing helped. Then God showed me how I was holding onto things that were not in my control. Harboring unforgiveness and sadness in my life over things I should just let go. Then our preacher preached an amazing sermon on anxiety and depression. Down to the alter I went and discovered how I was trying to manage it all IN MY STRENGTH , so I gave it to Him. I laid everything on that alter and suddenly that very day I was filled with so much peace. The kind of peace where you can breathe again.

Anyway , I guess you are saying what does that have to do with Facebook. Well, I felt the Lord leading me to deactivate my account. And on one very emotionally hard day that is what I did. And it has been that way for about a month. And I can sure tell the difference. The world just sucks us in and eats us up. IF we are already struggling it is even more powerful. I totally believe Satan uses Facebook and other social media to keep us in bondage. To keep us depressed or always mad at somebody. So, I am thankful for the push from God to do this. While it has been good for my soul it has totally destroyed my Scentsy business but I know God is faithful and if I am not to have a Scentsy business then I am sure that will be shown to me as well. Sometimes our wants are not what is best for us and not in God's Will.

I say all that to say if you are battling with depression, anxiety, anger, resentment Facebook mostly only stirs the pot. Even if you use it for good intentions it can still suck you in. Try it! Give up Facebook; spend time with your family , read your bible, listen to podcasts to strengthen your faith, reconnect with friends, etc... You will not regret it. Want to keep up with people , keep your messenger . That is what I did and I can still connect with people that matter but not scroll and scroll aimlessly when I could be doing something much better with my time. And that is a whole other post in itself! How much of a time waster it is. Let me know if you have taken or are taking a Facebook break and how it went for you in the comments. Thanks to everyone who reads my blog!


Blessings and Have A God Filled Day,
Tiffany!!!
