Let's recap. This is a link to the first blog post, explaining what and why. (http://smiths98.blogspot.com/2013/03/m1d1-stress.html) We, as a family, have decided to work on living with less excess. Learning to think about others first. Truly taking the phrase 'treat others as yourself' to heart. Bringing it to life. Putting it into practice.
What is media (for us)?
-facebook/twitter
-phone apps
-texting
-tv
-radio
-internet
-ipads/tablets
NONE OF IT. Cold Turkey. Done. ONE MONTH.
Bryan and I are actually really excited about it. Excited for the additional family time. Quality time. Sitting and enjoying each other.
What, if any, exceptions are there?
-Bryan and I have computer things we need for work
-We can all use our phones (just not texting) for verbal voice calls
-Occasionally I will be blogging to keep you updated. It will be on here and NOT facebook linked. If you want to know how the month is going, you will have to call or check this blog often.
God has prepared our family for this project. Even though Raychel is sad about doing without her media, she will in turn be thankful for the family time. One day, she will look back and see how fabulous this time is/was for her. She just might not admit it right away. :)
You can pray with our little family. Pray that we will grow as a family. Pray that we will learn more about each other. Pray that our time will not be wasted.
May 1st through May 31st. Smith Family. No media.
Here we go...
