Facebook Fast

I started a "facebook fast" last Thursday.  It was a difficult decision, because I love keeping in touch with people that way, and I love seeing what all of my friends are doing with their lives.  (aka stalking)

BUT, I decided that I really needed to simplify some things in my life.  I was getting exhausted and burnt out in my calling (in primary).  And I honestly didn't want to do anything anymore.  I talked it out with Rick and the more I talked with Rick I realized that part of the problem was that my spiritual needs weren't being met.  This definitely is a problem, but a lot of the issue was with me as well. 

I'm not going to use the pregnancy as an excuse, but it doesn't help sometimes!  I've been so exhausted that I've been skipping over prayers and reading my scriptures.  We've continued saying our family and trying to say our couple prayers (I just always seem to fall asleep before Rick gets to bed).  But that hasn't been enough for me.  Well, I decided that some things needed to go from my life for the moment... at least until I get back into a good schedule that will help me with meeting my spiritual needs.  

Rick made a snarky comment to me about how pinterest seems to have replaced facebook.  It's true that I still surf on the web and I am on pinterest a lot more, but I am not spending as near as much time on pinterest as I was on facebook.  

Thankfully, it's getting easier and easier to part from facebook.  Honestly, I didn't realize that I wasted so much time on facebook before.  Now I am more focused on praying, reading my scriptures, taking care of myself, taking care of my family, and helping in primary.  I think I'll make it a goal to stay off facebook until  I have this new baby... that will be good for me.
