Friendship Challenge


TODAY’S CHALLENGE:  Do a Facebook audit.  Are there so-called friends in your feed who are driving you crazy or causing you stress?  Unfriend them.  Remove yourself from groups you’re not interested in, unlike any pages you are no longer interested in, and challenge yourself to only be on Facebook for 10-15 minutes a day!  Set a timer if you need to.  

Now, spend some time thinking about the people in your real-life circle.  Think of two people that you care about and respect that you’d like to cultivate deeper friendships with, and write them down.   Pray for that person, invite them for coffee, send notes of encouragement or short texts or emails.

Make your real life circle, your real life relationships much more important than your online circles.

Priorities In Life

We spend too much time trying to keep up, with everything, everyone, and social media. 

Our lives move very fast. 

Too fast. 

When we give in to keeping up with the world and the speed it moves at, we lose a lot. 

We lose precious moments that can never be recaptured.

We lose memories that can never be relived.

We lose the ability to have meaningful conversations, face to face. 


We lose relationships. We forget that real life friendships matter.

We lose joy. 


We lose hope. 

We forget that people matter because the tasks of busyness take over.

Take time to disconnect, slow down, and say no, to say yes to what really matters in life.
