"I didn't learn SOCIAL MEDIA when I was in school!"
It is tough to blog, tweet, Facetime, Facebook, Goodread, e-mail, Skype, post, Pinterest, Instagram, etc. and etc., when all you want to do is sit down, study your Bible, pray, and get going doing other things. Now, it isn’t that I don’t like all the Social Media sites. I love them, but WOW, they can be way too time-consuming.
Coming Soon - Summer, 2014
On this
journey of SOCIAL MEDIAing, where do you begin without wiping out anything else
of importance in your life? If you have any ideas, please let me know at patti@pattigreene.com.
As you can
see, I am basically just trying to figure out how to have time to do everything
in my life. I have been involved in social media for a while, but I never
really took the plunge to really expand. I want to expand, but I just want it
to happen on its own! I am learning that isn’t going to happen. There are
techniques, research, emails, friends, new friends, and connections that have
to be made. Add in the time spent reading books so you can post on Goodreads,
writing a new book, keeping up with new media, searching Pinterest, and for
those who have an outside job, OH MY! How do you do it?
But, as I have pondered all this, I have realized that God is the one right beside me when I am writing books and guiding me along the way, so why shouldn’t I use that same “Holy Spirit” strength in guiding me with my new hobby of SOCIAL MEDIAing!
Today, I
have decided to let Him go on this journey with me. I don’t have the wisdom,
knowledge, or time to do it on my own. Every tip shared with me, I am going to
look at as a prodding from Him. I will evaluate it, maybe act on it, or maybe
put it aside for another day. And, I will listen for His still small voice
telling me “Enough is enough for today.”
Honestly, it
can be overwhelming. Why would I want to please God in every other area of my
life, but leave Him out of my Social MEDIAing?
So, starting TODAY…Hear me friends, I am making a commitment to follow His
leads, His promptings, His suggestions, and His will regarding how much time I
spend each day Social MEDIAing. I will put God first in my life and pray for
His will in all I do – including the daunting and fun task of social MEDIAing.
NOTE: I am
putting this in writing, so please help me to be accountable to my new found
SOCIAL MEDIA commitmentJ
And, if you would like to help me….please join, link, or connect to one of the sites below. I would LOVE it. We can all learn from each other, share with each other, laugh with each other, and cry with each other. And, it will be an awesome encouragement to me to see how many new friends I can make from this post. Thanks for being my friend, my future friend, and my source of encouragement.
