What if you could trade the time you spend on your phone to use it towards something meaningful to you? You could do something small you have been procrastinating, you could fill the small waiting games of the day with true moments that relax you or towards a goal you have been working towards.

How Do Stop Over Scrolling?
If I could go back to a few years ago.. specifically 2020.. where the world wa shut down.. How many of use downloaded TikTok and become addicted? Yeah same here. Looking back I feel like I wasted so much time. I could have done something I enjoy way more than I spending endless hours moving from my couch to my bed scrolling on my phone. Of course we can’t go back in time but we can look foward and look towards Jesus in this all.
As a come to jesus moment of working toward being a good steward of my time. Glorfiying God In all things including my time. I don’t wnt to waste it but I want to be ready for the life ahead and in the presnet which is invitng the holy spirit in ebery moment. This life is to glory God.. here is the hard truth I am not going to waste in by spedning hours looking at social media.
Social media does have its perks
Fast social media testimony… dieing to self momemtns and fasting to gove it to the lord.. ,osing anxiety and comparriosn.
