Do they know?

Social Media.
I have an absolute love/hate relationship with it.
Some days I am so overwhelmed with the negativity, liberal points of view and intolerance, I feel like deleting all my accounts.
But then I see baby announcements, people celebrating milestones and news I wouldn’t see elsewhere. It keeps me up to date with family and what friends around the world are doing, and I am thankful for this kind of technology.

I have been purposefully limiting my time on social media and not allowing myself to be swallowed into the spiraling vortex that can trap you for hour upon hour! But as much as I love and hate it all at the same time, I know it is a tool that God is asking me to use.

I know that I am reaching people I would never be able to reach without it. I know there are people out there reading my blogs and social media posts I have never actually met in person. I know that my words are hitting those introverts that struggle with the same things I do!

But as I was scrolling the social pages earlier today, I was struck by some of my friend’s pages. I know that they are Christians, but their pages don’t reflect that in any way at all….absolutely no clue that they go to Church or love God!  Now, I am not judging these friends, what they choose to put on their page is completely up to them, but it made me think about my own pages.

If a complete stranger looked at my pages, would they know what I stand for and what I believe?

I don’t necessarily think social media should be used as our own personal soapboxes, but others have no problem showing their support for all things that are “pc” at the moment, but what do my pages say about me?

I looked through my pages and it’s easy to see that I absolutely love my family, love working with young girls and love Christmas with a passion, but I was sorely disappointed with my lack of posts about my love for God!

He is the number one love of my life, and sadly that is not reflected on my pages.

Is it because I am ashamed of my love for Him?
Is it because I don’t want people to judge me?
Is it because I am worried about what my Non-Christian friends will think?
Is it because I don’t want to offend anyone?

I honestly don’t know why it is, but I am determined to change that!
I want people to know what I stand for. I want to be more open about my faith and I want people to realize that I am not ashamed of my beliefs.

So friends, as scroll through the social today, do you know what your friends stand for? Do you know what you stand for?
Do your social media pages reflect who you are and what you believe in?
