Step 4: Evaluation

It seems lately that everyone posts everything everywhere. In my experience, I become more and more obsessed with posting every little tidbit of my life onto facebook or myspace for everyone to see. Then, for hours after, I wait to see who "likes" my thought or tidbit, or even who leaves a comment concerning it.

It's kind of sad.

This past week, from last Wednesday until today, I took a break from facebook. The first couple of days were actually quite hard. Checking statuses had become quite the habit. I found myself board, not being able to entertain myself.

This past week has helped me put things into perspective. I no longer desire to post and share and update everyone on everything that is happening in my life. I love the fact that I can contact people through Facebook, but in reality, I find way too much time to be logged on.

I have reached the conclusion that I no longer desire to live on facebook watching life go by status by status.

I long to be a better Father, Husband, and Follower of Christ.

In these things I find the real treasure. In these things I find my calling.

I Corinthians 10:13 "No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it."
