It’s safe to say that we are all experiencing incredible change right now. I know some more than others. And while there are so many unknowns, there is nothing that our Lord doesn’t already know. I was watching a video yesterday and they talked about how incredibly perfect our God is in all of His Ways.
It’s my birthday today, but it’s not just any birthday, today I am turning the big 30! And as I reflect on the last 10 years of my life, I’m in awe of how much I’ve truly grown and changed. I mean, I’m sure it’s obvious and normal for people to change over a ten-year span, but I never would have imagined my life to be what it is now.
Are you familiar with the Bible verse, Ecclesiastes 3:1-8? This is one of my favorite verses. It tells us that there is a season for everything. I don’t know about you, but that brings me great comfort and peace knowing that I don’t have to do or be all things, all at once, all the time. Everything has its own time. It’s own season of life.
Do you ever feel overwhelmed that maybe you aren’t doing enough or being enough compared to others you are following on social media? Do you ever feel disconnected from being fully honest with your emotions and feelings, fully aware with what you have in life, or fully present with your loved ones? Do you ever feel the constant need to document, record, capture, and share special life moments with others on social media? If you answered yes to some or all of these questions, you are not alone.
I don’t know about you, but I am on social media almost daily. It’s the platform I use to write my blog, to run my online digital shop, to minister to others through sharing the word of God. It’s a part of my life. But lately, I have started feeling burned out from it. I think social media can be an excellent tool, but it can also cause a lot of pain, exhaustion, confusion, and unnecessary comparison and feelings of not being or feeling enough. This is where I found myself at the end of December.
