Facebook Newby

Okay, I am officially on Facebook!  I am a newby that is for sure.  I was a little skeptical for quite a while, not really understanding what it was about.  My husband told me it was a bit like twitter, and it was a way to keep in touch with people.

Okay that is what I have email for, right?

Well… I signed up the day before yesterday.  It was really confusing at first, and of course my little sis was right there to help.  I fiddled little by little with it, trying to understand the way it works.  It has taken some time but by the end of yesterday, I had talked to so much of my family that I haven’t talk to in like 10-15 years…YIKES!

I hate even admitting that, but it is true!

I live Chatted (or do I just say ‘Chatted’) with one of my Uncles who I adore.  It was so great, it really made my day.  I forgot how much I enjoy him and I felt like I got to see him.  We are so many miles away, and yet I feel like we had a visit.  I was really a little giddy the rest of my day.

I also got in touch with a friend that I sang with in high school, who I truly loved!  I am not even sure she realizes that.  She sings and even has a website, it was really great to see what she was up to.  And for not seeing each other in so long, we are kind of doing the same things… so cool!

I have yet to post pictures, but I can’t wait to show my family off!  What a great concept.  I am sure most of you who are reading this are like…”ya, we already know this, but thanks”… that’s okay, it’s my blog! 

I can see how it can be addictive.  For me as a full time mother of 4 kids it is a way to connect with your loved ones and friends with out leaving home.  It is hard for me to get out of the house for ‘me time’, not that I even think about doing that much.

I do have a household to run, and husband and kids to care for.  I do find that some times I am at my wits end and am feeling a bit strained and start losing my patience with every one.  My mojo to do the job God called me to do starts lacking.

I do get to take kids to activities or grocery shop, okay and for church but that is about it.  So I guess I just begin to realize I need some fellowship that is a little more about me, and less about the household.

I  hope to not let it become an addiction, but a God sent for me to have relationship with people I care about.  Wow, is that a little sappy?  Oh well, it is what it is. 

Now I have to start getting my bible out and do devotion before I get on my computer so I can keep my “Christ Centered” life centered on Christ… then all will be as it should be.
