Okay....although I know I dont have to explain myself to anyone today, I am going to so that people may understand. I was recently told I dont have a life. I replied, God, family, work...thats what life is about. They said but outside of that I have no life & thats not good & facebook doesnt count. Okay....for ME, facebook does count. I work full time 12 hour shifts as a Nurse, Im a full time single mom, I own/manage 2 pages on facebook, Prayer Works & GAG Reflex, I am the admin of 6 different recovery/prayer groups..... I really dont think people realize the work it takes to manage facebook pages. I make a lot of my own posters....that takes an hour or more for each one. I keep an eye on my pages & groups 24/7 to see if anyone reaches out wanting help, advice, or prayer. It is like another full time job. I love it, though! What better place to spread Gods word & help others than through facebook! Think of how many people are on here! I feel God can touch many lives on here. It was under Gods direction & guidance that I created GAG Reflex & Prayer Works. I had no idea what I was doing & no clue how to make my own posters. I figured it all out on my own. I am not saying all of this for pats on the back. I am saying this because facebook is a huge part of my life & it is my ministry. I want to inspire others, motivate others, help others, etc.... I post my struggles as well as my good times. I allow myself to be vulnerable with the hopes that it will touch someones life. I share my intimate & personal poetry with the same intention. People attack me, belittle me, insult me, call me judgmental & self-righteous on a DAILY basis. This includes family! Many times I have wanted to just give up, delete my pages, delete my groups, delete my entire facebook account....but then I remember why Im doing it all or someone will comment or message me thanking me. I remember the devil hates me & doesnt want me to do what Im doing, so he uses others to attack me. He wants me to give up. But I refuse to listen to him today. God gave me a beautiful word one night when I was feeling defeated..... Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. (Galatians 6:9) So, I will not stop doing what Im doing no matter what anyone says/thinks because I know this is what Im supposed to be doing. So, yes, I have a life. Besides working & family, I strive to make a difference....every single day....& the more attacks I get, the more I know I must be doing something right or the enemy wouldnt be trying so hard to stop me! To those of you that are always there to encourage & support me, I love you all & appreciate you all more than you will ever know. To the haters, thank you! You let me know that Im doing exactly what Im supposed to be doing. God Bless You All.
