I took a week break from Instagram.
Today I signed back in and scrolled through the 7 days of posts and pictures.
I didn’t really think about it till after I closed my app & finished getting ready for the day. But here’s the thing, later I found myself thinking “wow my pics really aren’t that great.... I really should try and take better pictures” and I wish I had more followers.........
honestly it was kind of an oppressive feeling & I was like Whoa where is that coming from? The fear. The insecurity.
WHY??
Why am I feeling this way?
Why do I feel the need to try and be like others? Why wouldn’t I want to be myself.
Why do I give into that feeling of fear?
Why do I let that rule my life?
Being afraid is a trap. Listen to what God has to say about that
It’s easy to say I don’t but so much harder to actually live out those words. To say when that feeling of I’m not good enough comes whispering in your ear NO WAY. Not this time. & you proclaim the power of God over your life & thoughts. Because either we walk in the peace and security of Jesus or we live a fearful insecure life that is ruled by satan. & I know that lots people have talked about some of the same things I’m saying rn and probably do a much better job at it BUT here’s the thing, I don’t care. I’m not trying to sound a certain way or be a certain thing. These are my thoughts. The thoughts of a 18 year old rambler.
I’ve come to the conclusion that Instagram ( social media ) is not going to rule my life. I want to live an abundant life & fear has no place in that life!! It’s a journey. Every day is a struggle but thankfully I serve a patient and loving Father.
I chose to live with JoY.
ps. This post went wayyyy off what I was originally going to say but I hope you were able to follow along w my ramblings. xxxx
