Got a dose of humility...

Do you ever just go on with life then BAM! Something hits you and you realize you needed some humility? Well I just did.

On Wednesday nights at Bible Study/Prayer Meeting at my church, we have been going through "strongholds" or things that hold us down or back from our walk with Christ. We touched on the subject of addictions and in the printed out notes, there was a brief comment on social media. It hit me because I am the type of person that wants to see 1,000 likes on a post or reel, but never do. I am still trying to get myself out there and I was becoming consumed with needing to see how many likes I was getting on posts.

Sure, I need to see what works and what doesn't for growing my page, but I was driving that too far. I was letting it control me, instead of the other way around. I always told myself, "God is in control of my social media" but I wasn't believing it. When I wasn't getting the results I wanted, I let it affect me.

So what did I learn and what am I doing about it? Well, first and foremost, I am seeking God first and not likes on social media. Praising Him and being a light for Him on my social media should #1. Next, I pray that God will direct my posts and reels on where He wants them at and what I should or shouldn't be posting.

I honestly believe God called me to be a writer, I just never may gain the title, "New York Times Bestseller" and that's ok. I just pray my books are well written, give a clear message, and praise God. THAT'S what I want.

I hoped you learned something from this blog post. Not how humble I am, but that God is working on me because I am His "work in progress". May God get the glory in all the things I do. He gave me this life, I just pray I am not taking it for granted....
