Pausing for a while from...'the time waster'.

God is so good! All the time! Today I had the privilege of pausing for a while from things and taking a look back on how the Lord has worked in my life - especially the last few years. What I thought was the most painful and heartbreaking time in my life, He truly has turned around for my good and His glory! What a bitter sweet thing to now know. It's hard in those moments when we don't understand and can't even begin to see a little glimpse of the bigger picture He sees - but we're not necessarily supposed to! Otherwise, He shows us and/or gives us the discernment required for doing so. How it blows my mind - the FACT that I'll never 'get' Him! How can that in itself leave a person in complete awe?!


I've been contemplating, once again, the whole Facebook thing. Sigh....I know, I know! Believe me, I've thought about it, and thought about it again....and again! There are some good things about having it, but when I weigh the 'pros' and 'cons'....it appears the 'cons' tip the scale. The biggest thing that was holding me back from actually just doing it, is the fact that I have a page (through my personal page) that is a gateway to this blog and I didn't want to lose that connection with those who follow via FB. So, my conclusion...create a completely new and separate FB account for this blog! This will allow me to continue updating followers of new posts, but I won't be sucked into 'the time waster' that I have found FB to be (just my opinion from my experience!). What in the world did we ever do before it?? Really!

Anyhow, on that note...I should sign off, lol!
Until next time,
'K'

  1. we arranged to have lunch with a friend, we took in a ball game, we sat at the kitchen table and played a board game, or we just sat at the kitchen table with family and friends and simply talked...I'm realizing that while Fb has served to connect me with folks, and given my circumstances this is a good thing, it really is a huge waste of time...I'll be glad when I have the freedom to go out and just sit by the harbor and enjoy what the moment offers...keep the sharing coming Krista...

  2. Rod,
    Facebook can serve a really good purpose - like all things, in moderation! But you're right, there's just nothing else like going and pausing by the water with a good book and a cup of coffee or just your thoughts! I can't wait for the warmer weather to be out in God's creation...just sitting and sharing with Him, while compeltely surrounded in the beauty He has created for us!

    All in His timing...
    'K'
