We live in a day an age of technology. Meaning everything we do is on some form of electronic something or other. Cell phones, computers, laptops. Everything. In fact, my 4 1/2 year old daughter received an email from her best friend who is also the same age *mommy wrote it!*. An email. Not a handwritten letter but an email! Oh my how times have changed!! Anyways, whether we are typing a blog, sending an email, or being on social media, its all instant. At our fingertips. And it also means we are 'open' to more things going on so to speak. For instance, if I live in a different city then a friend, its natural for things to kinda separate and not be as close because you don't always have time to write a letter, and you are so busy that you don't always call. If you visit its not for long. So the relationship isn't as strong as it use to be. It's there just not in the forefront anymore. But its doesn't hurt as much. I guess. For me anyways because I am not seeing that person to remind me that we aren't as close. Sad but true. However, on facebook, everything is out there. And you know, usually, when someone deletes you. Whether a friend or a family member. You know. I know I have some friends who have deleted me but really, I wasn't that close in the first place and I admit, I friend some people just to be nosy. But there are some friends I thought were close who have deleted me and I have family members who have deleted me as well. Sad but true. I know I am not one to be silent on a lot of things. I am for vaccines, I have no issues what so ever how you want to birth YOUR child and I loved my c-sections. I do not understand the love of water birth and probably wont but that's fine for me since I don't want one! I love the Lord with all my heart even though I need to work on my relationship. I do not agree with the gay lifestyle, I spank my kids, I drink soda, I love soda, I do not like fords/hondas, or The David Crowder Band *although since he went solo I like his music now!* and, up until this week, I drank ALOT of crystal light tea. I LOVE Toby Mac's music and I love listening to Air1 and KLove! Which is on my radio 96% of the time. I am an open book. Mostly. I keep some things personal but my beliefs I don't feel the need to. But apparently some people have issues with what I say because they have deleted me. Family members, people I thought were close friends. Kinda irritating to be honest. I mean, should I be wasting my time trying to keep a relationship with you in person when you can't even be friends with me on facebook??
I'm kinda in a phase of my life where I feel like I should be weeding out people who aren't worth my time since I am not worth theirs first off, they never respond when I write them, or lets be honest, I am only friends with them because I am spying! I'm 32 now. I need people in my life who are going to call me out when I am wrong, love me regardless of how I believe, and take the effort to put into a relationship because they WANT to, and not cause they have to. I need uplifting people, Godly people, and non Christians are great too! I need people who are going to be real and who aren't going to pass judgement on me cause I don't believe the way they do. I thought though, that the people who deleted me were people who wanted a relationship with me. Apparently not. And that hurts. Specially coming from family. Do I friend them back or just let it be?
Guess it's time to do some serious weeding right now....
