Eh. Why do I have such a hard time with this?
For a few years now I have felt like I needed to mind my own business 100%. I'm not a nosey person, nor am I a busy body but I do seem to acquire information from people and over process it. If it is something bad, I might think over it and try to offer solutions. Then, I'll think over it some more. Then, I'll worry about it. Then, I'll try to do something about it. Meanwhile, my life is going crazy and everything over here is spiraling out of control.
It's like this... I can never progress if I am focused on everyone else. Imagine a highway. You have a designated lane for yourself and other important people in your life have designated lanes. Each lane might have some debris based on what is going on in their life. If you have debris in your lane, you can't move forward. So, what does Brittanie-Claire do? She focuses on clearing out other people's lanes and now my lane looks like 285 during rush hour. I know God wants me to do something great for His kingdom but I'm so busy trying to clear out debris in other people's lane that I don't realize my lane is backed up for miles.
I've decided to submit to that. I've decided to put on my oxygen mask first before assisting others. But in order to stay in my lane, I've got to do a few things.
I've deleted all of my social media. I only have my blog. No more Instagram. No more Facebook. No more Twitter. I can't focus on my own life and what God wants me to do when I'm too busy looking at everyone else's life. I spend too much time browsing social media. It just isn't benefiting me right now.
I truly believe that in due time, I'll be back on social media but for now, people can reach me the old fashioned way--- with a phone call. :) I'm also limiting my text messaging to family members only. I know that this will eliminate a lot of people in my life but God is calling me to move forward and I have to do whatever is necessary in order to obey Him.
Love y'all,
Brittanie-Claire
