After going back and forth for months, weighing the benefits vs the costs of disconnecting for a period of time from the Internet world, Superman and I are going “social media and news silent” until March.
I need a break. I need refreshment, and the only One who can provide real rejuvenation is God.
I’m going to spend the next few weeks connecting with God and my family, searching His word for wisdom and discernment on what my role is with my blog, and where He wants me to head with it.
I’m not checking Facebook, I’m not responding to private messages, and I’m not posting on Instagram. I’m disconnecting from the news and basically living in a smaller world for a bit.
I don’t intend on staying there forever. I may still blog periodically, but instead of sharing on social media, I will only send updates to my email list. You can sign up for that by clicking on the header of my blog. ?
I will still be accessing email, so if you need to contact me, you can do so via my website HERE or via email at: shanti@lifemadefull.com.
Feel free to join in with us! Heck, if you’re local, stop on by for dinner, or come hang out around our fire pit and roast some S’mores!
Peace out, and I’ll see you on the other side!

I think you are doing a very wise thing. I am ready to do it myself. The last straw was yesterday when another single mom in my local adoption group said anyone who voted for Donald Trump could not be a Christian. She was mad about the immigrant situation. So we were supposed to vote for Hillary, who believes killing babies with few limitations is just fine? Would that make me a real Christian? I don’t know a lot about politics and don’t get involved in discussions, but to me abortion is not politics or religion – it is a moral issue of killing an innocent person.
Enjoy your time away from the madness and rest your soul and mind. I think it would be a good idea to shut down all social media for a while until people can calm down.

You’ll be missed. But we all have to “reconnect” to make sure of the path that we’re taking. Whether it’s a job or social media. Have an Awesome time off and hope to see you soon. (^_^)

Shanti Landon says
Glad you’ll be joining me, Julie!

Thank you for your obdience to God & his call on your life. I commend you for speaking out & staying strong against the sins of this world.
I am UNASHAMED for voting for TRUMP/PENCE.
Enjoy resting in God’s arms & in his word. I will be praying for you.
