    I took a year and a half (and counting) break from social media. The longer it’s been, the more I don’t even care to care about what/who is on social media. It’s been the best thing ever. So much more joy in every aspect of my life 🤗

    I felt the Lord telling me to take a break from instagram and yesterday was the last day of my 40 day fast from instagram. It was incredible for my mental, emotional, and spiritual health!

    I was just thinking about you! You look so refreshed, so happy to see you back! I did a fast 2 weeks ago for about a week and it was soooo good. God seriously came through like never before and spoke to me. It was amazing!

    I took one at the beginning of this new year 2022. My days are more productive, especially now I’m back to work after 2 years of being a stay at home mommy. I can care the least of what people post and I honestly don’t have a date in mind to return back to social media. I can honestly say I can live without social media lol. Blessings sis 💛

    I’ve been on a social media fast for 2 years now. I guess it’s no longer a fast but a permanent thing lol I relate so much with a lot of the things you said in your video. It’s been a complete life changing experience and enjoying every moment thus far.
    I believe Gods timing is so perfect. I am a witness of that. 💕

  • @theamonidiaries
    @theamonidiaries 2 года назад +3

    Glad your back! I agree. Sometimes we need to just take a step back. It's easy to fall into the comparison trap and be glued to our phones. I think I'll try to do the same soon. God has been doing amazing things through you over the years. I can't wait to see what's next ❤

    When I did the fast, God showed me so many new things and to be grateful for where I am. I’m going to take a 2 month break from Social media and see where that takes me to dig deeper!

  • @mariahbright
    @mariahbright 2 года назад +9

    I missed you!! Couldn’t stop thinking of you. You actually inspired me to eventually do a social media fast - just to get clarity about me & my brand ..and not wanting to create the same content as others but think about who I am & what can I bring to the table. I def will check out the books u recommended & cant wait to see what God does for you this year girly!💕💕☺️

I hope to see more of how you are becoming more and more like Jesus💕

  • @sydneywedin2862
    @sydneywedin2862 2 года назад

    I grew up in the Methodist church and used to practice Lent! I gave up Snapchat, Instagram, and Twitter for the 40 days and was shocked at all the time I had. I believe we all really have so much time for fulfilling things, yet don't make the moves to free ourselves from distraction and consumption. It was such a great memory!

    Here because I saw someone having a house built, and immediately got depressed. Wondering why it hasn’t happened for me. Why every time I take 2 steps forward, I am thrown 10 steps back. Why my life is not where it needs to be. Why I had to get divorced. This is not what I planned! Then I felt jealously creep on me. Then saying it will NEVER HAPPEN FOR ME.
    I just deleted social media 10 minutes ago. It’s just me and God for a good while now. Hoping for the best.

    Feel like I need to take a break from it, I’m feeling very overwhelmed. I got out of a 2 year relationship that I thought would last forever. Sadly he didn’t feel the same way. So he broke up with me. I put myself so much into him that I forgot about myself, not to mention I got a new job while going through that break up. So I took a few months from actually dating but then got back on dating apps. Went on a few okay dates and a few bad ones but I’m overwhelmed by dating and people in general.

    I was so happy to hear you say that you were a believer. Unfortunately I wasn’t expecting that because so many of these you tubers don’t express that or simply aren’t beliebers. That was one of the reason (big reason) why I need to take a break from social media. Amen

    Romans 10:9-10- If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.
    Accept Jesus into your life today. Open up Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John in your Bible and read about Him. Get to know who He is :). John 14:6- Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."✝️❤
