I am into the 48th hour of my 240 hour Facebook Sabbatical (that is 10 days folks)! I have to say, while I'm still not willing to admit that I was (am) addicted to the social networking site, I will say I miss catching up with people and seeing what is going on in my friends' lives. It is a fun way to keep up with others, and not being on there makes me feel like I'm disconnected somehow-even though people can reach by other means.
On the other hand it is also nice and freeing in a way. I have spent the time I normally waste on fb by reading and driving a friend to an airport 2.5 hours away. So, it isn't like I have had a hard time and have just been sitting here.
All my thoughts on time have brought me to conclude something and that is the heart of tonight's blog.
How many things do we do just because they are easy? Not that easy is all bad-I am certainly thankful for many things like my laundry machines! But, how often do we let the easy things take up more of our time than they should? How often do we do things without realizing how much of our time is being spent doing them, when it could be spent on more worthwhile pursuits?
I am learning that I want to make sure I am being a good steward of my time. I want to be honoring the Lord with how I use each hour He gives me, because I'm not guaranteed the next. I want people to see me as a person that works hard, honors her commitments, loves her friends and family and has packed my life with as much life as possible, and I can't be all that if I'm not constantly evaluating how I'm using the time. Am I spending it well, or am I letting the easy, habit forming things take up too much time?
Hour 48-all is well, but all is quiet on my Facebook profile...if only I could post that it is going well... :) (Just kidding)
