Ok...so I know that in today's society, we are nearly all of us becoming accustomed to the varied and many forms of communication, social media, texting, and the "sharing" of everything about ourselves to nearly everyone. Some of this can be a good outlet for many. Sometimes, over time, as we have found out, it can become a "not so good thing" also.
For example...
Face book. My sweet husband and I love and have fun with our face book and school feed. BUT, now we have taken the steps to reverse our near constant connections to these two forms of regular & constant connectivity to....everyone and everything. There are many, many reasons for our decision, and in time we may reverse our decision to "unplug" from face book, but not for a long time to come.
In today's society, some things are being lost, misplaced, misunderstood, "re"placed by the wrong things, or forgotten about all together, and more and more lines get crossed, and even twisted. When we as a society as a whole, become more and more content & comfortable with sharing far to much with far to many, then where is the line between privacy, restraint, respect, & commitment to our loved ones? Do the old lines of right and wrong become as a grey smudge on our horizon? Is it so easy to cross over into areas of society that are now accepted as "ok", and to seemingly walk away or dismiss the old ways of family, faith, value, respect & commitment, or the clear lines of right & wrong? Many now-a-days have no issues with being completely connected via many or all forms of social media, and to some degree, neither do my husband Bob or I. But, we (Bob & I) have just recently opened our eyes because of certain situations and recent events that have unfolded in our lives. As of yesterday, my darling husband and I have done what most would consider to be the "unthinkable"...LOL. We have both deleted our Face book and School-Feed accounts!
AAAHHH!!! Somewhat refreshing I might add!!!!
In time we may reverse our decision, but not right now.
Everyone has opinions, reasons and valid needs for enjoying and partaking of all that is open to them via the web, social media and more. Bob and I are no different. BUT...there come times in every ones lives when eyes must be opened, hearts must be willing to yield, and doing what ever it takes to improve relationships and more, THIS MUST take PRECEDENCE! This is where Bob and I are right now!
I will never close my blog! My husband stands behind me on this. I need this...love this...and it is beyond helpful to me in far to many ways to explain. All these reasons my darling husband is aware of and understands. Our primary choice for now is to be rid of face book and all of it's many components!!! I know many of our family and friends will never understand, but they shall just have to get over it! We must do what is best and right for us!!! If this is how God is leading us then we are doing the right thing! My sweet Lord will never lead us in the wrong direction.
This post us not meant to offend anyone. It is just a simple woman sharing from her heart about decisions made and changes that have occurred for her and her sweet husband, and for the sake of pouring out of my heart and head...which is what I do best here in my blog...my thinking spot!
I hope and pray your Sunday is a blessed one! May the Lord fill it with all his goodness intended for you!
Love & Prayers,
Ronda
