Some of you know about my departure from Facebook. Today marks the 5 month anniversary of my facebook-free life! Do you want to know the truth? I haven't missed it at all. In fact I think on the first of June I'm going to delete it.
At this stage in my life I'm really trying to filter through everything I choose to put my time and energy into. Facebook was the first to be cut, and it won't be the last. Not only am I moving into the process of filtering the activities I participate in, but also the things that fill up my space (aka bedroom/domain/theplacewhereeverythingmagicallygetslostinablackhole) Do I really need 25 t-shirts? (Okay, that's a rough guess.... but it's somewhere around there) Do I really have a need for 30 pens/pencils, books, notecards, movies, everything.
Where do you draw the line? Or more importantly, where has God already drawn the line? What are the things that I have to choose to give up so that I can be in the place God wants me?
How are the things that I choose to put into my life affecting how I react to life? When something happens, how do I react? How do the things I surround myself effect how I react? I think that these are relevant questions, hard questions, and they're worth digging into.
I heard the song What Do I Know of Holy on the radio this morning on my way to school. It really made me stop and think. What do I know of Holy? All I know is that I'm a small town girl who is still figuring out how to live by faith every. single. day.
Thank about it: What in your life needs to be thrown out, sold, handed-down, or simply sorted through? Is it your closet, your diet, habits, or just your relationship with Jesus that needs to be re-evaluated? Take some time this week to really sit down and think it through, then act. Do something about it.
I went through my closet this week. I donated 10 shirts, a pair of pants, and a pair of shorts that I don't wear very often. Simple, yet it makes such an impact.
