After Saturday’s post and email where I announced my departure from Facebook and Instagram, a wave of fear swept over me.
I mean, I believe everything I wrote and my thought process has not changed. Regardless, I am a human full of human faults, including FOMO.
Fear Of Missing Out.
I’ve spent years creating an authentic network on Facebook and Instagram. I’ve met friends from all over the world and strengthened business relationships through daily interaction.
But in the blink of an eye, I walked away from over 25,000 combined followers.
Regardless of any personal affection, that is like walking away from a sizable sum of money but I have to ask myself, “how is that fear serving me?”
How does that fear allow me to trust God?
How does it allow me to trust myself?
What if I needed to break away from old patterns to walk into God’s new plan for me, which is so much more?
Some of you are feeling that quiet, uneasy nudge to make changes in 2021. These changes are for the betterment of yourself, your family and your business- but that doesn’t make the shifts that betterment requires any easier to follow through on.
As I walk away from the terms and conditions, censorship and control of these social media platforms, I can’t ignore a lyric that has supported me through many fearful moments:
“I’m no longer a slave to fear, I am a child of God.”
Whatever changes God has laid on your heart in these changing times, I hope you remember that you’re not alone and that someone out there is praying for you!
