“Every
time we compare ourselves with someone else, we can never measure up because we're comparing our insides with
their outsides.”
I feel like this was
God directly telling me to STOP with the comparisons and focus on the gifts He’s
given me to bless others. I didn’t even realize how wrapped up in sin I was
until I felt God specifically “calling me out” on my struggle. What I thought
was good intentions of “just keeping in the loop” on Facebook has really been
hurting me and hurting Zack. With that said, I’m taking a semi-hiatus from
Facebook- I’ve removed it from my phone and do not plan to spend time each day
checking in to see what others are doing. I want to tackle my sin head on and
re-focus my priorities to what they should be: my relationship with God, my
marriage, my new job, and using the gifts I’ve been given to be a blessing to
others. I hate my sin and want it gone, so I pray that through God I can re-prioritize
and focus on what really matters.
p.s.- I have every good
intention of keeping up with my blog now that I’m not going to be spending so
much time on other sites. Stay tuned for future blogs about how fun married
life is, the craftiness that happens with the Carscaddon’s every weekend, and some
thoughts about my new job J
