I LOVE this idea. I agree, I can do 12. The whole world wide web is overwhelming and makes me want to quit often. But 12 is doable. And perhaps will free me to not need to keep up. I’m taking that with me this week. Thank you!

(PS, found this post through Amy Lynn’s e-mail; glad she shared 🙂

So glad that Amy Lynn Andrews shared this in her Useletter this week. This spoke to my soul…and I can think of a slew of other people I need to go off and share this with right now. Thank you for sharing the love letter of your heart…and for reminding us that it’s okay and healthy to set boundaries for ourselves with social media and relationships in general. When we follow Jesus as our model, we can’t go wrong!

I love this post! I just hired a VA to help me build my online store because I felt overwhelmed with social media marketing. I love FB and I am starting to get into Pinterest and Instagram but when I feel like I HAVE to use it in an effort to build an online business so I can come home and be with my family it takes the fun out of it.

I know of many bloggers that sat a regular time a day restricted to one hour or two (depending) and prioritize. If we were to sit on social media all day, the job would never get done. I’m working from home, and even turn my phone off when I work and check it on the regular bases for messages.

Loved this post! Really resonated with me as I was jut thinking this morning “How do these ladies keep up with all this social media?” It’s easy to feel defeated in that world.

This is JUST what I needed to read this morning. I’ve been trying to convince my heart (and head) to just check my Facebook and email once a day. I have this feeling that it will be very freeing to do this! This short post just convinced me that this would be a very good idea!

Very well said, Lara! I was reading a Jerry Bridges book recently, Growing Your Faith, where he presented a similar idea. I was so relieved to know that God didn’t expect me to have a gazillion deep relationships, because … well, it just wasn’t happening. I felt like I had been letting Him down. Instead, I found I was (again!) putting too much pressure on myself.

I bet you feel a sense of freedom and confidence in yourself with realizing this truth. You’ve given me much to think about! Thanks so much for your honesty.

I was just in that place, but now I’m okay with not knowing what some friends have for breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day.

In reply to Jill. Freedom! Preach it, Jill. And that's so true about real communication. May we be a people who have eyes to see the moments right in front of us.
