Thee Deactivation

To Deactivate ourselves. It is important that we the time to deactivate ourselves from the things that give us unhealthy vibrations. The things that we can find ourselves addicted to. It is important that even we even deactivate ourselves from people and places that stress our souls and bodies out.

It is important that we purge ourselves from devices and things that pull us away from our relationship with the Lord. Our relationship suffers and we can become a little sloppy.

Sometimes we allow media to overtake our lives! We had good intentions, but it didn't work out the way we wanted. We allow it to overwhelm us even stress us out and even start to draw away from our energy bank. The energy that we need to create and preserve our live. It is taking from us but never giving back life. The energy that is required to be a healthy physically, emotionally, and spiritually well whole person.

I remember a season in my life when I was convicted of having many quirky addictions that I gave myself a free pass for. I had spent hours on media televisions, shows, social media scrolling, YouTube, texting, phone calls. If I wasn't the one using them I was waiting on them. My whole life was based around the business this frequency that seemed to continue to consume me. I wanted to get away and didn't quite know how.

I needed to escape and not care about looking crazy. At least that is what I thought then when I cared about what people thought of me too much.

I understood that my time was being affected. I understood that my time was precious to the Lord, I understood that he wanted to spend more time with me. He was watching as I lay around unsatisfied trying to busy myself with these things. I was avoiding myself and getting to the issues that I needed to deal with.

Why was I saying I was ok when I wasn't. I thought I was fooling everyone but evidently, I was only fooling myself. These things did not satisfy but I couldn't stop using them!

Not easily anyway. It was a chore to turn a device off and go into the other room, without semi stalking it wondering if the world fell apart as I left it unattended. Was everything going to fall apart? Was I really holding it together? Did my connection make an impact?

"Holding" it together with my eyes and ears. It felt like it was as ridiculous as it sounds. I was waiting for something......

It never came. But I changed. I had to kick the habit and get out and let it go. I had to deal with myself and tech withdrawals. It was shockingly painful the first couple passes. I would find myself uncomfortable, unable to sit still. I found out I actually did not like where I was after I took a look around. There was an emptiness. I could feel all my insecurities coming to the surface. There I was deactivated and a little bit of a mess. I had this promise I was going to get it all back, this is what kept me going at first. The countdown and agony.

Thankfully eventually I stopped counting and started to enjoy my deactivation process. I eventually didn't want to go back! I could not believe I had got there in the first place after it was all said and done. Everyone thought I was weird and maybe not well informed. But it was not true. I became a different type of informed. I had to work a little harder for the things that were important to me. I had to figure out what that was and do it.

I had a lot of repenting to do. It felt great though to realize that I was sinning in my activities on purpose and neglecting my responsibilities.

I think it is one of these scary things that creeps up on us. I mean unless you deactivated once or twice you never notice! When you do you can't stop noticing. All the quirky little habits that we as humanity have created that are bizarre.

For example, texting people in your surrounding instead of talking to them. Watching them respond to a text instead.

When is the last time you had the courage to deactivate from things that are not good for you. Unplug yourself even if it is the workplace and you somehow have managed to stop taking good care of yourself. Maybe you needed to take a vacation or use your time off to refuel yourself in a more meaningful way. Maybe you're a mess and need to hear what silence is again? I don't know we all have different reasons for recalibrations and changing our vibrations.

You know how good it is for your body to spend time with the Lord in solitude and hear yourself think clearly again! I can hear myself my inner voice! The real me! The clarity and inspiration you would find if you relaxed and sought out well needed peace, love, confirmations from the Lord. Make your deactivation time as meaningful or as novice as you like. Whatever the reason you can never go wrong to challenge yourself. Make time while time can still be found.

To deactivations and recalibrations in a busy hustle bustle world. Blessings

Jesus Christ Forevermore

A woman of God who loves a good solitude whatever that means.
