Recoil

There have been many times that I have considered backing off from Facebook.  And about three times I have taken a break. I tend to use it to escape from life at points in my day.  The points when my kids are fighting, calling, clinging, or I am trying to avoid the many mundane tasks that make up my daily existence.

I realized that lately, I have been taking a lot of posts personally and have felt attacked even though none have been actually addressed to me.  It spoke to my heart that I took these things so personally and think perhaps the Lord has used these things to show me that it is time to step away.  It is an online forum with a lot of opinions and there is no need for me to take things to heart, but I do.  Perhaps it is just the push I have needed to do something I have needed to do for many years.  

Anyhow, I will close it tomorrow and plan on blogging more.

 My biggest goal is really beyond resurrecting an occasional blog.  It is really that I hope to be more engaged in my home with my family, more intentional with my interactions and to cling more to the Spirit's help for the mundane activities in my life. 

There are things and people I shall miss, but I think this action will help me lead a quieter life.  And maybe some time I will resurrect on Facebook, but for this season, for now, it is done.  And I am glad.
