        I've decided to start a campaign to raise money for a charity!! I had been looking for a charity to support for a while, but none of them really stuck out to me as the one I wanted to choose. As I was looking one day,  the song Oceans by Hillsong UNITED was running through  my head. I came across The Water Project and started reading about it. And I knew immediately that was the charity I had been looking for!         Water plays a huge role in each our lives. Water affects our health, education, and many other things. Nearly 1 billion people across the planet do not have access to clean, safe water. We don’t realize how lucky we are to have clean water in our homes and cities.  Watch the video and check out their website to learn more: thewaterproject.org      My goal is to raise $60,000 which will sponsor 5 entire projects.  If you would like to donate  click here to donate through my GoFundMe page  or give donation money or checks to me personally.

            If you read my last post, you would know that I did a social media fast for the last 7 days.  Click here to read that post.  I gave three reasons for my fasting-  Distraction, Trash, and Drama. So here is my update on how this past week went:                          The first few days  were a little difficult. I had spent so much time on social media before that I wasn't really sure what to do when I was bored and couldn't check it. I began finding other things to do such as planning new blog posts and reading the bible more. There were many times when I would think of something and in my head say "Man, I want to tweet that!" but I never once gave in to it.              As the week went on, the urge to log in to my social media got less intense. I've seen so many things happen this week that I normally wouldn't because I would've been studying my social media.                       Yes, I will be logging back into my social media. No, I w

          I have decided to fast from social media for a week. Starting at  midnight tonight, October 4, I will not use Twitter or Instagram until Sunday, October 13. Here are 3 reasons why I made this decision: 1. Distraction           One thing I've realized is that spending more time looking through my feed on Instagram and Twitter has given me less time to study the Bible and blog. Being too involved with social media can take away your focus from the more important things such as your family, friends, and faith. 2. Trash           Trash is a big part of social media. No, not trash like you throw in a trash can. Trash as in trashy words, trashy pictures, trashy attitudes. Constantly seeing and reading these types of posts actually impacts the type of lifestyle you live and the types of things you post on your accounts. 3. Drama           Drama. This one pretty much speaks for itself. Social media, especially Twitter, is always full of the latest gossip. I have noticed
