Fast

I went off Facebook for over 2 weeks because I needed to get away from certain distractions. I find that abstaining from it was not as difficult as I think it would be, although it comes with certain side effects.

I decided to log back into Facebook today because I needed to check on a friend that was communicating with and then log back out again. But before I could log out, I decided to go through my notifications and see if there were anything important and to my surprise, I could care less of those things at this moment. Not that I do not care for people but their updates did very little to my well-being, nor did it perpetuate me to be more encouraged in anyway.

Abstaining from Facebook was thought of as something difficult for me in the past but I come to realized that it is surprisingly not. It has given me even more time to process things inside of me that needed more attention and dealing. But coming back on for a short 10 minutes made me realized how much I have relied on Facebook in an unhealthy way.

I am continuing on my fasting if you will from Facebook until I found certain peace about things that are going on inside of me. I want to discover something new, I want to find God in things that I never think to find. I want to know Him more to change the things inside of me that are destructive to my faith and the way I love people.

My fasting seemed rather unplanned but also unconsciously falls in this season of lent. As giving something up is more than just a practice of abstinence, but also a moment to draw closer to Him.
