The skinny on facebook and fasting DAY 6 :)

So, I have decided that a 40 day fast from facebook is going to be pretty rough. I mean, in my house.... Facebook is like furniture. An old piece of furniture. You know the kind.. you don't really need it, and it doesn't do you any good, but you keep it around anyway. Even if you aren't going to use it. Even if it just takes up space. Then you get kind of attached to it... then you actually begin to use it... often. You use it so often, it now becomes something you keep for "sentimental" reasons. Yah, that's me. Only I have done passed the "sentimental" stage and went into the "addict" stage. I was totally addicted to facebook. It's pretty sad, that an almost *gasp* 30 year old woman could be that addicted to something so ... ridiculous.

What I also realized is how often I post about things that have no meaning or significance. The first day off facebook, all I wanted to do was to go on facebook and talk about how hard it was not being on facebook. I KNOW RIGHT??? So, now going on 6 days off facebook... I have learned an important lesson. My life is not near as interesting as facebook makes me feel it is.

Also, since being off it I have read "The Hunger Games" In one sitting mind you, and I stayed up until 3:30 am. I started writing a children's book which I am very excited about. Everyone in my family got some sort of flu stomach thing and we had a few interesting days that were very colorful. My second semester of school started up, and I am now on chapter 6 of Job. Which has been a tough read... Job makes me question God on a whole other level, and I'm not sure what to do with that yet. Not because of Job himself, but because I can't seem to figure out why God allowed such calamity to befall someone who was devoted to him. That would seem almost "evil" of God. Which I know isn't true. So.... I'm intrigued to read the rest of Job.

Approaching the 6th day, it has gotten easier, but I do still miss reading all the updates. Knowing what my friends are up to. Knowing what is going on, who to pray for, who to celebrate with. When my entire family got sick and I wanted so badly to get on FB and ask everyone to be praying for us. I almost broke my fast for it. But I didn't.

My heater got fixed! Joy ! And it works awesome! Also, the guy who fixed it is a handy man and he does good work, so he might be doing the labor for the upstairs bathroom and flooring. GOOD STUFF!

I have had lots of break downs lately. Hopefully blogging will help. So... until next time.
