FB

I go back and forth with Facebook. I talk and write a lot about being a wife and mother, lover of The Lord, and wonder if FB really should have a place in my life. I wrestle with thoughts about deleting Facebook, because it could be used for ministry, just saying hi and keeping in touch with family and friends. However I am only human and I get sucked into FB, looking at it way more often than I should be. The Lord has given me something so precious in my family and I should be totally engaged with them, and having no concern for what everyone else is doing. Our family has cut a lot of media from our lives, in fact during the week we  don’t watch TV at all, special movies yes but we stay away from TV. Family time is overly important to us and I feel this tugging on me to just do away with the world,  one more piece to this is leaving FB. I’m going to check in every once in a while especially during the Bronco games, I can’t not watch football with my family and Lance! But it’s time to delete the app from my phone and check in every so often. There is a certain freedom that comes from not being connected at a whim and I’m all about that freedom! I think to the future about Lilly and Owen. I don’t want them to think it’s acceptable to be connected at all times. Gary and I have to be trend setters in our home and if the kids see mommy checking her phone ten times during special movie, I can’t expect them to engage in family time when those tough teenage years take place. I do love to read and will continue to update our blog and read our family and friends sites. As of now I say cheers to FB and hello to fully engaged momma!
