She scrolls through Instagram, rarely liking or commenting. Stalker game going strong 😉
He posts another photo of his truck, because he likes it.
She shares her day, the little details, good and bad.
She shares about something she loves to earn extra income.
He posts about his fitness routine.
She takes too many selfies.
He obviously is bored.
She gets to go on all the vacations.
Must be nice to always look perfect, and have a gorgeous home.
She shares way too many photos and details. Who needs to see all that?
Tell me if I'm wrong, but I think we are way too judgmental 😉
I have heard these comments from others. I have thought some of these things myself. I have to work on contentment, probably daily.
But does it really matter?
This world would be pretty boring if everyone was like us, right? 😉
Social media has its downsides, but I like to think the good outweighs the bad.
For me, I want to use this space to be real, and to encourage others. I know that in sharing my real, you may see my pessimism, my attitude, and my flaws. But hopefully you see me as an imperfect human, saved by the grace of a perfect God.
I have some new followers, so I thought I would share a few things with you all..
First, I dislike when these #fridayintroductions are one sided, so please leave me a comment with something about you!! 😊
I am a stay at home mom to 5, who also helps out with milking on our dairy farm. I used to say I would never marry a farmer, but the cute boy who came to our farm asking for a job, was worth changing my mind over😉
Most days, you will find me looking very unglamorous, doing what moms do.
I am horrible at taking care of myself, unless feeding myself chocolate counts for something 🙊
I rarely go away, unless its grocery shopping, and I am completely fine with that. Amazon Prime has changed my life🤣
By the worlds standard, I am boring, out of style, and out of shape.
But God loves me, showers me with grace daily, and blesses me more than I deserve.
If it wasn't for the cross, I would be so much more of a mess than I am already.
Now please, tell me a little about you. I am not here in this space just to talk about me, and my opinions 😉 I want to build friendships and encourage my followers!!
I hope you read this, even if it is lengthy.
It ends with a challenge 😊
Perhaps, I am alone in this. It could just be my struggle. My weakness.
I am, to be very honest, dissappointed in myself.
My struggle is my time in prayer.
Especially, prayer for my husband and children. And this morning, the thought entered my mind that maybe its not just me who wants to improve in this area.
So to hold myself more accountable, I am asking anyone who wants to, to join me in a prayer challenge.
Believe me, this is not a challenge that requires huge sacrifice.
It is, simply to spend 5 min. in prayer each day for your spouse or significant other, and children if you have them.
This is why I am disappointed in myself.
Because I am pretty sure that 5 minutes is much better than what I have been doing. My prayers are often said over my lunch, or breathed out quickly while I am busy doing something. And while I don't think that's wrong, I just want to be more intentional. If I can spend time on social media, I can devote more time to pray. And I believe God can move in BIG ways, when we pray!
So to join me..
1. Pray for 5 min.each day, for the next 21 days.
2. Keep record of it somewhere
3. Comment if you want to join me. Tag some friends too if you wish!
4. Please make sure you are following me here.
Challenge starts tomorrow, Feb. 18th, and ends March 9th.
At the end of the 21 days, I will ask those of you who committed to this, to send me a screenshot of your prayer time record, and you will be entered to win some fun gifts!
I will give something out to 3 people! I haven't decided yet what it will be, but may take some votes from you 😉
I am so excited to pray on PURPOSE!
