Twirly Birds, this is something that you will need to know in your future, by the time this is actually applicable to your life , the world will have different types of social media, less heart and very little about God. I hope and pray that I am here to teach you these lessons and provide advice and support, but in case you are not speaking to me or I'm not here , here is one of many lessons I learned the hard way.
Passion. Passion is a good thing ... In small doses and being passionate about something is ok as long as you know when to keep thy lips or in this case ( fingers) closed or sensored.
It's not ok to be passionate or express opinion on any social media site, at work or around those that are not "safe."( more about safe people later)
Mommy is passionate about many things, God, Social Work, motherhood, feelings and well Politics. That's right, very boring yet highly sensitive material ahead. 🙅
During the presidential election of 2012 I strongly felt that our current US political figure was not a good choice- for many reasons.don't get Mommy wrong now, I understood if others felt the opposite and I was ok with their right to feel that way, however , many people didn't know this bc of a few Facebook post that I posted - about the world ending (no I didn't actually truly believe that) if he won again and that I thought he was one belief or another- very controversial - which I thought I was just expressing my beliefs- freely when I was actually fueling gossip and negative attention.
After my political candidate lost, I was so sad- scared and just uncertain about what
our futures held. I got on social media and expressed these feelings - again . People
Questioned what I was saying I relayed to them that I felt he was not out for our best interest and that it was possible he was another religion which didn't actually matter to me- but that's all people needed and so for the next three months the heat of the moment social media post haunted me. 3 days after the post i was attacked verbally , " Unfriended " and unliked by many people.
I cried and prayed and deleted everything - a hard lesson learned. Girls, I don't know if we learn sensoring from our mothers but it is a lesson that I had to learn the hard way. I thought that I was showing people that God doesn't want abortions or legal drugs ( marijuana) (which you better not touch even if it's legal everywhere at this point), actually I was showing people opposite, I was seen as hateful and judgmental.- not ok. You will hear a saying W.W.J.D.- what would Jesus do. That is what you need to constantly keep in your beautiful, innocent minds, only speak about what would glorify God. God would not have been scared the way mommy was - he would say " pray for him".
God would not have argued with the people that attacked him,he would have shown them love.
Be passionate but use loving words, pray before you type or speak an if you don't feel peace, say nothing. Speak kind words, keep your morals and surround yourself with people that Love God.
All I know about the world to come is that it's not pure. A friend said to me that in the End times - " what's good will become evil and what's evil will become good. "Girls when in doubt, read your Bible and seek God-always.
Safe people ... Lesson to come...
Now "safe people "- include those that love you
