Day Thirty of Hiatus – It’s been one month

Today marks the one month mark of my sabbatical from social media. While the first days were a real challenge, it’s gotten easier with the passage of time. During the past month, I’ve experienced a lot and I’m working from a stance of “the world goes on around me without my social media presence.”

I have been missing keeping up with local sports news. I’ve found that social media sites are one of the best ways to keep up with the schedules and game results for local teams. I see where NCSU defeated Duke in the ACC tournament yesterday and I’m sure there was a lot of banter between fans for the respective teams about all that.

I have also missed doing my daily posts. I have two devotional readings that I’ve done for over five years. I hope those that would visit my page are clicking on the link I provided to get those readings. I REALLY miss seeing all the funny memes that other people post. Humor is good medicine!

There’s a little over two weeks left until I return to social media. While I have missed it, I also realize the world keeps going ’round without it. Such is the nature of the beast.

Each Day Unfolds…

Each day unfolds as it will. Although we may have the most-detailed of plans, there are those events that can and will occur that are unforeseen. Then we do the best that we can to deal with those and if necessary, modify our plans.

There are many aspects of our daily lives that we do not have any control over. From the sequence of stoplights on our way to work, to individual behaviors and decisions that others, like ourselves, are in the process of making.

The best we can do is to set our course for the day and be ready to handle any circumstances that find their way into the events of the day. To consider that much of what will occur is bound to be, with or without our permission.

My faith seems to be in short supply with certain areas of my life. All I can do as I start each day is to turn my will and my life over to God’s care and trust Him with the ultimate outcomes. It may not be what I’d like for it to be, but it is what it is.

And the sun will still set at its appointment time and rise once again tomorrow.
