Are you a Facebooker?

I'm not quite addicted.I don't update my profile a couple times a day like some of my friends, but I do like to hop on at least every other day or so. Amazing how one website connects hundreds of people together, from old friends in elementary schools to distant relatives. You can find out where people are now living, what their current job is, favorite TV shows, hobbies, and quotes, and check out whatever pictures they've chosen to post. But probably the easiest thing to do on Facebook is update your status and comment on others.

My current status:

-Emily is celebrating the 4^th and Eric's 25^th birthday. Wow my hubby's getting old!
(Okay, it may be time to update that one and get the 25 being old comment off of there before I get in too much trouble!)

After browsing through my friends, I found a few other interesting statuses:

-Danielle just made the worst eggs known to man...ick haha

-Martha: Okay, infants should not have a Facebook. That's simply awkward and dumb. What does a baby have to update?

-Brandon is excited to take his son home today.

-Krista: If I were a food I would be a cheeseburger, cuz everyone likes 'em. However, someone will inevitably respond to this saying they don't. Lame.

-Hannah thinks life is hard - but at least I know He's drawing me closer to Himself

-Renee just killed a huge spider in her apartment. Creepy!

-Mike: I have soggy shoes.

-Briana's thinking about how much money Itunes and music stores are making off of Michael Jackson's death.

-Mark won big.

-Molly: Well apparenty, I sleep like a dork!

-Matt: We're adding a little something to this month's sales contest. As you all know, first prize is a Cadillac Eldorado. Second prize is a set of steak knives. Third prize is you're fired.

It got me thinking about my spiritual status. If I had to post something online for all my friends and family to see about my spiritual status, and if I was honest with it, what would it say? Could I exclaim "Emily is madly in love with her Savior!" or "Emily's gaining victory over sin issues in her life through the awesome power of God!" Or would I have to say something like, "Emily really needs to get off the computer and into the Word" or "Emily's heart and attitude are far from pleasing to God"?

It's easy to fool anyone around me into thinking my spiritual status is something it's not, but God doesn't have to check my Facebook to know what's going on with me. I can't fool Him, and I need to be concerned with what His comments are on my status, and not my friends'. And it's not until I can admit where I'm at that I can begin to address it.

So.what's your status?
