I have a love/hate relationship with social media.

I like connecting or reconnecting with friends and family, but sometimes it’s too easy for me to compare my life to another’s.

I like following authors, bloggers, pocasters, and vloggers, but sometimes there are so many updates I end up spending hours catching up with people I’ve never met instead of sitting with a friend or spending time in prayer for someone.

I like writing book reviews (and I like to blog!), but sometimes I worry too much about the opinions of those I don’t know.

I like seeing others’ ideas for baking, cooking, decorating, and sewing, but sometimes it’s too easy for me to become discouraged.

The following Bible verses have been ones I try to remember when I think about social media:

Colossians 3:2-3

Philippians 4:4-9

Psalm 46:10
