Social Media, Sometimes You're The Worst!

This mama heart, this Christian heart, and this woman's heart is feeling broken this week.  I have often relished in social media. I keep my online friends close, I can keep up with family in another state, and I can talk to like minded mama's in private groups.  I've felt a real connection with moms from many different backgrounds, states, and countries.  I would be wrong if I didn't talk to what social media has done for blogs, and networking.

For all the good social media has brought, it's also shown some true colors of the people that participate.  The constant bashing, the negativity, and barrage of posts can wear anyone down.  I have found myself more often just avoiding Facebook, and taking a breather. I check in periodically to some of my groups, and then get off again.

Sometimes, it just can all be too much!  Too much information weighs us down.  We all need to be sober and vigilant as the scriptures say, but we must also have a down time. My heart needs a chance to feel love and forgiveness, instead of apathy.  Our softened edges turn rough when we are grated on constantly.

Spread some cheer and good will today, instead of posting something in the news that's bad or negative. Talk about the joy your life brings you.  It will not only help you get through the day, it may just help another!

Sing To Jesus-Fernando Ortega

When we are down, when we are happy, when he is merciful, everyday...

Happy Easter

I'm going to post the lyric and video of this song I recently heard. It tugged at my heart strings immediately. I listen to christian music radio here and there but, I'm really bad at knowing who the people are that sing them.

I struggle daily with sin, doubt, and procrastination yet, Jesus is alive. He has taken my place and I'm forever indebted. Praise him and blessed is his name forever.

Happy Easter!

Breath Of God by Shane Barnard

A life you cannot define

A purpose that's benign

They need to see and believe

Be lead to the rugged tree

The one on which He cried

not for His pain but for our debt

The very same tree that He conquered death

It was an unfair deal on the part of Christ

He got my sin I got eternal life

Make me the breath of God

And I'll show them the One that means the most to me

They'll see the face of love

Be touched by the very One

That died upon the tree

Oh, Make me the breath of God

And I'll show them the One

that means the most to me

They'll see the face of love

Be touched by the very One

that died upon the tree

Small talk is a better choice..A way to avoid Your voice

I need to feel the dust on my knees

And lead them to the tree

The one on which He cried

not for His pain but for our debt

The very same tree that He conquered death

It was an unfair deal on the part of Christ

He got my sin I got eternal life

Make me the breath of God

And I'll show them the One

that means the most to me

They'll see the face of love

Be touched by the very One that died upon the tree

Oh, Make me the breath of God

And I'll show them the One

that means the most to me

They'll see the face of love

Be touched by the very One that died upon the tree

Will you follow me?

Lead them to the tree?

Can't you just believe?

Will you take a knee?

For eternity?

For eternity?

Make me the breath of God

And I'll show them the One

that means the most to me

They'll see the face of love

Be touched by the very One that died upon the tree

Oh, Make me the breath of God

And I'll show them the One that means the most to me

They'll see the face of love

Be touched by the very One that died upon the tree

Oh, I'll be the breath of God
