What Does the World See?

Social Networks... 
I find them to be:
entertaining, 
aggravating, 
frustrating, 
bizarre,
ridiculous,
uplifting,
hurtful,
hateful,
loving,
kind,
encouraging,
challenging,
heartbreaking,
I could go on and on, but I think you probably get the picture.  

If I just looked at all the negative about it, I'd  delete my pages and never look back. But there is a lot of positive to social networks.  Sometimes it is my only way to know what is going on w/ friends, family, church family, the world and community.  If someone is sick, having surgery, getting married or having a baby - facebook and twitter are where I usually find it out!                   Crazy huh?  But very true. 

As I was pondering this matter  I realized that I don't have hundreds of people looking at my facebook page - and that is perfectly okay w/ me.  But I wonder when the "world" does looks at my page, posts & comments - what do they see?  I have very few Twitter "followers" - and again that is fine with me... but for those few, what do they see when they look at me? 

I pray they see someone who is in-love with her family and grateful to have them in her life. 


I pray that they see that I enjoy life and all that comes with it - Yes, I'm an Alabama fan & proud of it! I occasionally need to vent - but hey, I'm human (:  I'm mushy gushy over my kids - and why shouldn't I be?  I'm very proud of them and their accomplishments! 

I pray that people who look at my page will find encouragement and an occasional challenge.

I pray that they see that church is important to me and those God has called me to minister to are very important and special to me. 

Most importantly, I pray they see a person who loves Jesus Christ more than life it's self;  Someone who has made HIM #1 in her life.

Have you looked at your pages lately?  
What do you post and tweet most about?
What are your friends saying? Do they represent you well? 
When people look at your page what do they see is the most important thing in your life?
I challenge you to look at your page through Jesus eyes... Does He see His reflection in you? 

Lord please forgive me,  so often I fail and  fall terribly short of your standard.  I know that Your standard is perfection - and YOU alone are perfect and Holy. But Father, I do want to live a life pleasing to YOU. I want the world to see YOU when they look at me.  Help me Lord to use my social network pages to lead people to you, to help them find hope and joy and peace in You and only You. I love you LORD!
