This is the date.
The date that I have been granted access back to facebook.
It didn't seem too far away at first, to be honest.
Then I looked at the calendar and thought "WHAT IN THE WORLD?"
It's 3 weeks away??
(HEART CHECK TYPE OF MOMENT)
NOT THAT I NEED FACEBOOK THAT BAD.
HOWEVER...
The fact is, I really want to be on there more than anything these days.
Not for facebook. But for the tool that FACEBOOK is at enabling me to enjoy whatever it is that I may or may not have enjoyed the past few weeks before this deactivation covenant.
And that is what causes me to realize just WHY God has me on this sabbatical.
He knows what I need.
Plain and simple.
In times like this I want to only hear God when it is beneficial to me and my own personal desires and opinions.
I know, quite pathetic.
In seasons of Him calling me away from things that are bringing me happiness, I easily think "Well, maybe it ISN'T God telling me. Maybe I am really insane?"
I mean, honestly, I have gone without facebook before for personal reasons in the past so this ACT OF NOT GOING ON ISN'T SOMETHING ENTIRELY FOREIGN.
THE HEART BEHIND THE ACTION IS WHAT HAS CHANGED THIS TIME.
This time it isn't personal.
It is completely out of LOVE and OBEDIENCE to the covenant between me and Christ that I am driven.
The self-less part of it is the only thing that makes it difficult.
But because He is in control here I lay, writing a post about the woes of waiting and obeying again.
Food for thought:
- What is God calling you away from?
- WHat are you resisting handing over to God?
- Are there areas of your life that are screaming SURRENDER?

I've been having problems with this lately... I've been having issues with handing EVERYTHING over to God. Like... absolutely EVERYTHING. It's not just one particular thing. It's my job, how I spend my time, my (non-existent) love life, what I write, what I read, what I watch, etc. I've been keeping it all to myself and I refuse to let any of it go. It's... been rough.
"But for the tool that FACEBOOK is at enabling me to enjoy whatever it is that I may or may not have enjoyed the past few weeks before this deactivation covenant."
That was my favorite part. Anddd it makes it all the better since I know EXACTLY what you are talking about :)
