Hello friends! As you may have seen on Instagram, I'm going to be disconnected from the interwebs for a bit! I've been really convicted lately about my phone & internet usage and how it seems to suck me in & I begin to ignore the life going on around me, when really, that is what is fulfilling. So I have committed to doing a fast from the internet* & I will reevaluate in July. Why? Mostly because I've noticed that I have the wrong motivation when I turn to instagram/feedly/blogging. I want to be successful, to be accepted, to be remembered. And the internet can never fill these voids. Oftentimes, I see people's blogs or pictures and end up feeling even more lonely, empty, and inadequate. (Truly, I need a fast from comparison as well... working on that one.) And the excuses for "needing" the internet just become so lame. Like I need a platform for gratitude. Well, why should 100 some strangers read about what I'm grateful for before I share it with the Lord first? Basically, that is what it is all coming back to. Seeking the Lord first. The same way that with a fast from food we learn to seek God for comfort/provision/fulfillment instead of food, I am hoping to seek Him for worth, acceptance, and to fill any voids in my life instead of the internet. *If you are curious what the logistics of me "quitting the internet" are going to look like, I'd love to answer that question individually. Shoot me an email, text, comment, or go to the contact me page. See you laterrrrr!!!!

I'm guessing I'll have it all figured out by the time I turn 30.
