Wow it's really been a while, 3 months to be exact since the last time I blogged. Well I am back for now Lol! No, really I am going to do better because if I continue to put this on the back burner I will never accomplish what I intended for this blog to be which is to uplift, and share life's daily challenges and high points. I hope you enjoy this post it's one of the most candid posts yet...
So it's been a long time coming, I am taking a break from Facebook starting now. To be honest with you the reason why I am taking this month long break is because I am consumed with it, it's like I have to continue to check facebook as if it's the daily news, heck I don't even watch the news like that, but that is where most of us get most of our information and updates which is ridiculous. I find that I just spend too much time on this site and realize by the end of the night that I haven't had bible study, or date night with God, nor have I worked toward any of my many projects that I have to birth.
I know there are many of you who can identify with this issue and many of us don't even realize it's an issue because you feel you are doing positive things on the site like: Networking, posting for your business, posting words of encouragement etc.. but all of that is time consuming all of that takes away from daily tasks. For me personally I am in the process of creating a nonprofit and a magazine, yeah this sounds really fascinating and awesome, but I have not put as much time into it as I should be. Before the words form on your lips let me be the first to say I DO NOT BLAME FACEBOOK, I take full responsibility for the lack of my progress, what I am pointing out is my personal flaw that many of us have and don't realize is we focus much of our attention on our social media and forget to focus on the business at hand whether it be time with God or time working on your business, or school.
I personally needed time to redirect my attention and this post may be an awaking for some of you, and for others you're probably like "whatever, get your life and do what you gotta do" Lol.... Whatever the case may be I intend to take this time to focus on not only myself, but God, and my birthings. I recently did a faith board and look at it everyday, but there is just more than looking there has to be action because Faith without works is dead.
In the last month I received a promotion on my job and God revealed to me that He was getting me prepared for leadership and today something happened at work regarding the program I am over and I felt like that leader I heard me changing as I was on the phone speaking with someone. I realized for me it will take a little bit more for me to get to where God wants me because I do allow things to distract me so that for meant giving up facebook and seeing how that works for me. By no means am I suggesting everyone deactivate their accounts, but there are those of us who do become consumed to the point where we forget about the business at hand, and the rest who can balance well, you deserve a standing ovation :-)
If anyone is reading this I will keep you posted on my outcomes. I am actually very excited about what I will get accomplished.... By the way in case you didn't know I am an author and I published an awesome book for teens/young adult women entitled: Taking Responsibility & Loving Yourself: Your Journey To Womanhood, I'm not saying this because I wrote it, but this is a very great read for the young lady in your life, our girls are going through so much in their lives than we can imagine and we have redirect their attention away from these "Reality" shows and music videos, and other forms of "entertainment" that is teaching our girls it's okay to fight and call one another out of our name and to exploit their bodies. God has so much more in store for our daughters, sisters, nieces, cousins etc... and society is creating a fictitious identity that our girls are feeding into.
