I didn't like how Facebook was making me feel like that. I slowly went back on because of the first republican debate and realize with my blog and Facebook page I can share with others about our country and my heart for it to go back to what the founding fathers intended it to be. I still have to say that I still struggle with wanting to be entertained but I recognize it now. I like when you said that you go took time away from Facebook at different times. I think that's a good idea. It was nice to read about someone else's experience with this too.Kristina Notestinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05060365609535858012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686942122965225945.post-17739670286097382712015-11-10T17:52:52.251-07:002015-11-10T17:52:52.251-07:00Prior to blogging, I used to check Facebook quite ...Prior to blogging, I used to check Facebook quite often and I was an avid Bejeweled Blitz player and then a Candy Crush player. Around the same time that I became convicted of spending too much time on Facebook, the Lord was also leading me to begin blogging. Since I started my blog ten months ago, all the time I used to spend on Facebook is now devoted to blogging, reading edifying Christian posts and preparing my own blogs and being in the Word as a result. <br /><br />I now have a love/hate relationship with Facebook as I just don't have time for it. I only check it once in the evening when I'm about to settle down to watch TV for a little bit. <br /><br />Having said all of this, I am in the empty-nest phase now. But when I think of my younger days, raising my children, Facebook would have lessened the isolation that I could feel during that season. <br /><br />I love the insights you shared in how the Lord has been working with you to go to Him with your status updates. <br /><br />Thank you so much for sharing this post with such transparency and for spurring us on with your insights. :-)Karen Del Tattohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12534510202288836694noreply@blogger.com
