Look up is a very amazing, empowering, and view changing video about social media directed, written and created by Gary Turk. Watching the video you are struck with the reality that our "social media" is really making us unsocial. It takes away the face to face conversations, and our ability to communicate. Social media allows people to know what you are doing but not who you are. We have energy but instead of doing something productive we just sit around doing mind less activities on our phones or computers. The ultimate challenge of the video is to learn to co-exist or have the time spent on your social networks and video game be very limited. Instead read a book, clean, exercise, go out side, the list can go on and on. I am so guilty of this too but we just can't be a generation of idiots, smart phones and dumb people.
Take up the challenge that the video displays look up from your smart phones and take in the display. Take in your soundings an make the most of today. Be there in every moment! Give life attention don't waist all your time staring at some invention. Give people your love and not your like, go out into the world and leave distractions behind.
Sadly it was storming this morning and we didn't end up going over to Blackwood for our morning session to teach ESL. Instead half of us work on donations distribution and the group I was a part of prepared our skit for Saturday's youth group. It was a productive morning even though it wasn't what we originally planned. We had quite a lot of free time at lunch to explore the island. Walking along a sand bar out into the ocean. We took the 3:00pm ferry to Eleuthera. Our afternoon was full of playing with the children. The weather cleared up and the afternoon was absolutely beautiful. All of the children ran over to us. Hugging us and instantly starting to play games. I got to play volleyball against six of the Haitian girls. Let's just say I lost... majorly. However, it was extremely fun to play with them. After the intense volleyball game, one of the younger girls grabs me by the hand takes me up ont...
On the 14th of January, I volunteered to lead the Children's Ministry team of our trip. This means I am in charge of planning the "VBS" for the children. Basically this trip has made me very busy. I am still so overwhelmed and it still feels so unreal. I leave in 3 weeks, it's bizarre!! I have been learning lots of French and so much about the culture in the Bahamas. There are so many amazing traditions there. God has truly been challenging me as I prepare for this trip. Twenty- three days to go until I am in Spanish Wells. I cannot wait to see what God has in store for me.
We spent our family time at the Discovery Place. It was interactive and we had a lot of fun. I personally enjoyed the aquarium the best. But as you can tell the boys both enjoyed building things. It has been a very fun and excited morning, but our day still continues on.
Well said :D
