Getting Off of Facebook

         I have thought a lot about this this weekend and I think I am going to do it starting tomorrow. I am going to get off Facebook for this next week. I might even do it a little longer depending on how this week goes. If you want to get ahold of me at anytime go ahead and message me or comment if needed but you can always text me too. I am scared of doing it but seeing and hearing the things God is saying around me this weekend really helped me to see that I need to do it. Helped me to see that I am not like everyone else.
        A lot of things are going on in my life right now that I just need to get away from and think about more. I mean it goes from friends to family. Facebook is not the place when it is only filled with happy people and pages you don't want to look at because you are in a certain situation where you are trying to do what is right for you and that other person. I have felt like it has really brought me down in the last months and using the messager for things that I shouldn't be using it for. Now if you really need me I still will open up the Messager app on my phone but that is it. I just need a break to where I can figure things out and not get so stressed about things. I know work is going to be hard this next month so I am trying to save my energy for that too. It is just all kinds of things that has led me to this idea.
         I just feel like I need this time alone with God and really hear what He has to say to me and I can't do that with Facebook in my face. He has changed my life so much in these past 3 months by changing my personality, changing my heart in certain situation, giving me opportunities I didn't think I would have, and other things. I am thinking that God is trying to talk to me and lead me down another path but with everyone's ideas and opions getting in the way I can't think straight. I need to try and make plans on my own. I need a goal and dream for my life and right now I feel like I don't have that at all. That is what I am going to be working on. A plan that is just for me. Something that I will like for a long time and stick with it.
        Maybe this will help me tell that path or not but it is something I need to do so I can get over some things or at least start to get over them. Thought I could do that without having to have a break from Facebook but I can't. It breaks my heart that it has come to this. That might sound strange because I am talking about Facebook but there is so much more behind that that people can't see. I will hopefully write in this a lot more this week as I am thinking and that will be on Facebook too because I can paste it through this onto that. I can even write about my experiences on here about staying away from it.
         Just because I am not on Facebook doesn't mean I want people to stop talking to and checking up on me. I might text some people and plan to meet with them if I need to keep busy to stay off like next weekend. I will admit that I will probably need that more then ever this week in different ways. Prayers would be great too. Prayers for wisdom and patience. Prayers for letting go of the old and looking towards the new. Prayers to get my living habits under control. Prayers for healing in all kinds of ways and just whatever else you can think of for me. Thanks in advance. :)
        One more thing that I want to mention too but probably won't mean much to many of you but I'm going on my 3rd month today and it is killing me every time I think about it.
