Officially an EM for my parish! :) |
Can I just say that I la-la-LOVE wearing scrubs everyday?! |
New hair!!! :) I just loooooove it. |
My stepmom suggested making my own tortilla chips from actual tortillas! Delish! Cut, brush (or dab with paper towel like I did!) some oil, sprinkle some salt and bake until crispy/golden! :) |
Just the girls. |
Then we decided to get fancy and make something special the other night! What do you think?! |
My running has been a little... blah lately. But, this morning was PERFECT! The weather was great and the run was good, too! |
So, I did. No FB. No Instagram. No reading/writing blogs. No Twitter. No Pinterest.
Let me tell you... it was hard. It's amazing how intertwined my life has become with all things social media. It's something that I would like to ponder a bit more. Every time I wanted to 'gram a cute pic of the babe, I offered up a prayer. Every time I had the urge to tweet something silly, I offered up a prayer. Whenever there was some downtime and I wanted to grab my phone to look on FB/read blogs, I offered up a prayer.
I said quite a bit of prayers for peace yesterday. :) After the morning, though, it did get easier. I made myself walk away from my phone and keep a distance between us. Really, when I didn't see it, I didn't think about it as much. It was so nice. It was freeing. And, let's be honest... I didn't miss much. :)
It was such a good experience for me... I might try to do this weekly. Because what's the veryfirstthing I did when I woke up this morning? CHECK ALL THE THINGS! And, so it begins. It was a great reminder of what is important.
I hope your day of prayer and fasting was just as fruitful. Just b/c the day is over, please don't stop praying for peace. Peace in your heart. Peace in Syria. And throughout the world.
I hope you all have such a wonderful week!
Blessings and love,
Jen
First, SO JEALOUS you get to wear scrubs every day. Comfortable and less decision making? If only. :) Second, I don't think you are actually supposed to cook the baby. Just nibble the toes. And lastly, I fasted from social media (though I didn't include blogs) and it was H-A-R-D hard! I give it up every so often, and each time I realize how attached I am to my phone or other devices. I'm thinking of picking one day a week to fast from social media too - let me know what you decide! Strength in numbers! (Can we still text?? LOL)
ReplyDeleteUm, again, just gotta say I love the hair.
