Technological Indifference's

Hours...Days...Weeks...Months...

I have become agitated. At first it was because I couldn't make myself get out of bed in the morning because my body is struggling with the time difference of being back on the East Coast. I then quickly became agitated with my thought process. Devotionals...Facebook...Get out of bed...Start my day...Etc... Do you understand my frustration now?

Facebook has become a mind numbing addiction. Yes I like to use it to stay in touch with a lot of people I can't always grab a long chance to say more than 5 words to. It's nice to randomly pop into someones life with a comment or a post. However I have noticed myself becoming OCD-like checking the Home tab to my profile tab back to home back to profile-home-profile-home-profile-home-profile-home-profile-home-profile-home-profile...etc... This all happens in a time span of about 2 minutes. It's disgusting. I think about Facebook first thing in the morning then tell myself "I need to be more disciplined, so I will do my Devo's first then turn on my computer." But yet I'm distracted from the amazing word. Distracted by my lesson for the morning because I feel like a child sitting in class waiting for her day to be over so she can go home and watch her favorite TV show. IT'S NOT GOING TO TEACH YOU ANYTHING!!!! Just to be distracted and slightly amused.

I'm putting my foot down, cutting myself off for a while. It's gotten to the point where I have begun to Idolize and think about facebook. What's new on facebook, Who's posted on my wall, commented on my status, sent me a message, posted new pictures...Self involved, selfish, self conscious, distracted, unaware, weakened and sickeningly lazy.

So therefor I am taking a bit of a break for a while. Not sure how long. However it shall be as long as it takes for me to have a new state of mind about it. Until my head clears of itself and of the distraction that is ("Gosh, that would make an awesome status") a state of unconscious thinking.

I want to learn more about you Lord. Not about how many pictures someone is in with a certain friend. Or How crazy that tailgate was. You Lord, I need you in my life first and for most and I don't want any distractions. I'm closing the blinds. I'm shutting the doors... You have my full attention.
