Disconnect to Reconnect. Unplug to Plug In.

Social media.

The bane of my online existence.

Just because I’m writing about it today doesn’t mean I’m digging it most days.

In fact, there are days, more often than not, that I just want to be an in person person.

I don’t have the time or energy to scroll and play the game, and yet I know, in this day and age, it is a big part of connection with others. Lately, however, God has been emphasizing the “part“ of “part of.”

Thus the reason, my online presence may be a bit absent some days.

And guess what, that’s OK! You know why?

We are real people with real lives, and an online presence does not equal being fully present with people and more importantly it does not equal being fully present with God.

And therein lies the dilemma wherein we find this dichotomy.

An online presence may very well keep you absent from those who truly need you to be fully present.

So stop the scroll if it’s taking a toll on your heart and soul.

Disconnect to reconnect. Unplug to plug in.

Your in person people will thank you, and the online people will likely not even miss you!
