See ya later, Instagram & Facebook!
Beginning with Lent, I’ll be off social media (at least off my personal accounts) but I really hope this is the end of IG & FB for me forever. I’ll keep my profiles in case for freelance purposes I feel it necessary to stay active, but I’ve decided that I really want to live simpler which means taking distractions like social media out of my life.
But by all means, please still contact me for freelance work!! I really desire to do more graphic design/photography — to use these artistic pursuits for the glory of God. 🙏🏼 I am hoping getting off social media will allow me more time to create a better website/blog.
Anyways, for this last post, I want to also highlight where I’m at in life. This photo is from last week, at 21 weeks & 1 day. Josh tells me I’m gonna be “skinny pregnant” as my belly has seemed to grow very minimally so far. But baby girl is so active, & it’s fun and interesting to be able to feel her kicks!
But this quote… how fitting!! While I have had baby fever for years now and just wanted to be married & pregnant, I was not prepared for how difficult it is. I mean I knew morning sickness is a thing, but I didn’t really realize that mostly every single day can bring some sort of struggle. Of course some people have it easier than me, & some way harder. But this quote is so fitting because pregnancy really is an amazing thing, but it does take much mental, physical, & spiritual enduring. After all, your body is working to create another life… it takes a lot of work!
What’s amazing though about pregnancy is that really, you barely have to do anything. Once s***m meets egg, a woman’s body just knows how to create a whole new life! Now THAT is GOD. The amount of natural processes that our bodies undergo is truly a miracle & shows PURPOSE. Our bodies were made the way they are on purpose, & for a purpose. Male & female He created them, truly. It’s a beautiful thing.
So as I try to make a simpler life, quit my part time job in order to do more freelance work and prepare for baby, I also shall try to create a more beautiful and holier life, being “in the world but not of it.”
