Soooo true! Thanks Amanda 🌻 We are completely overwhelmed by soo much noise! I agree.. 🌻I wish you the best of luck with your social media fast.. may we all find peace, love and quiet heartfelt connections in the beautiful heart of Jesus!! Wishing you all the best! 🌻🙏📿
I think you have shown me my Bible verse for 2025. "Only one thing is needed..." I have kids ages 1, 3, and 4, and my fourth kid is due in the beginning of March. Obviously we live in the world and are called to be good stewards of what He's entrusted to us. But how much has He entrusted to us, and how much extra have we put on ourselves? Life is busy right now, and it ain't gonna get slower-paced with another kid added, but "one thing is needed" and He gives us grace for every moment! It just takes us holding fast to the word of life and his promises REGULARLY and constantly.
Wow it's like you are inside my brain! I've been thinking about this story a lot recently too! I am feeling like I need to ditch social media all together. It is such a distraction! It's hard to let go because of the educational things I follow. But I think it's time to let it go completely.
I feel the same way sometimes! I do gain a lot of value from it in so many ways. There is a ton of educational content out there. But it gets to a point where it feels almost too overwhelming. And sometimes it’s hard to really realize how it is effecting us until we cut it out completely.
Yes and no! I had it set up like that for a few months and then incorporated back a few apps for content creation purposes. BUT unfortunately I found myself getting carried away using them more for mindless scrolling than anything else which is why I’m doing this fast! :)

Much needed video to hear, been pondering the same thing. Thank you and Happy New Year.
I’m glad you enjoyed it! Happy New Year to you as well :)
Thank you. Wonderful reminder of what really matters. Oh my, Satan loves to keep us busy and our minds cluttered.
So so SO so true!

Agreed! Love your channel, you made some great points about thinking about what it's taking from us vs. what we are gaining!
Just felt the other day that I was being like Martha.
Hi Amanda, can you tell me which bible you have. I totally agree with you. Thank you for sharing ❤
I need to put my phone in a different area from where I have my quite time.
I'm just watching your dumb phone video. Is your phone still setup the same way?
