Thoughts.

It's been way to long since I last blogged. Oops. I'll try to get better.

I've had some things on my mind lately that I thought I would share. About 3 weeks ago, I de-activated my Facebook. Yes, you read correctly. Hannah de-activated her facebook. Was this an easy decision? Oh not at all. However, it was sudden. Very Sudden. But I have an explanation.

Ever since I got a Facebook, I have been on it almost every day. I loved the fact I could see what other people were doing, and that I could keep up with those that lived in other states and even countries. It took me 3-ish years to figure out that what I was really doing was majorly comparing myself to other people and their lives. It was causing me to get jealous, frustrated, and sometimes even angry for no apparent reason. It's like it fed a never-ceasing fire that was consuming all of me. It was causing useless drama to be blown out of porportion and so much more. As cheesy as it sounds, I felt the Holy Spirit seriously telling me to get a hold of myself.

I was walking down some very very unstable roads, and straying away from God in the process. I was too worried about what was going on in a friends life, and seeing if mine was better or if mine was worse. I was not being thankful for what God had provided me in my life already and I wasn't recognizing the fact that He had His hand extended to pull me out of this consuming fire.

The best way I saw to grab hold of Him, was to de-activate my facebook. Yes, it hasn't been easy. I have lost contact with quite a bit of people. But I have had TONS of time to spend with my Lord and to realize what is really important in life. I am incredibly blessed in my life. And drama is just plain pointless.

I made a 180 on this road called life, and I am slowly making my way back to my Saviour one step at a time.
