Fasting from Facebook and Kathy Lee and Hoda...eek

So this week I am committing to no Facebook, no Twitter, no Instagram, no TV (except for Thursday at 7 when the Gamecocks play!)  While I LOVE feeling and being connected to people and seeing what my friends are doing, I feel that in recent weeks, I have become really consumed by it (even more than usual).  I am constantly looking at my phone for the latest status updates and photos and news and I finally realized last week that its just not a healthy, peaceful or fun way to live and use my time.  Also, I feel like the TV is just on too much! And even if I'm not really watching it, its just constant, unnecessary noise. Let's be honest, while most day time TV isn't necessarily "unwholesome", not much about it is edifying either. So this is just day one of the week without it and so far, so good.  No major withdrawal symptoms yet.  I'm hoping the Lord will use the extra quiet time this week to give me more quality time with people (in person), more undivided time with Him, and some clear direction in how to best spend my time.  Time is precious and I don't want to waste it!
