Test Pilot Episode 16 - My “Facebook” Crossroads
I’m trying to think of ways to stay connected on Facebook so I’m trying out some new things. I have been making some adjustments. Honestly, I thought about leaving Facebook all together. I don’t “like” the “high school” “competitive” nature of Facebook. I feel that it is “numbers” and “popularity” based driving people to do “insane” and “fake” things to get noticed. That is not what I am here for. I use Facebook as a portfolio, to blog, share content, share my creative talents and spread some type of inspiration to the people that follow me.
I also have experienced “trolls” and “haters” in this same space. So I will continue to pray about it and ask God to lead me with what to do. I have met some wonderful people in this virtual community. Literally there are people on here (all 5k) from all over the country and all over the world. Some, I remember from the very beginning in 2009 when journey started on Facebook. I don’t just look at “numbers” on FB. Numbers mean nothing if it’s trash and low value in nature. I’m inspired by positive content and controversial content at times truthfully. Transformational content is what inspires me the most.
Being on social media comes with rewards and risks. I want to be more intentional about acknowledging genuine support on my page from time to time. I am also at a cross roads. There are some people from my past I don’t want to be on this “personal” page anymore. I do have a music page @kristiesingsmusic and a public page @kristiejanel for the general public as other options. Some people are “spies” for my ex husband or some individuals who are associated with him who do not have my best interest, caused division during my divorce and some stole money from me. I have no interest in being connected to those individuals. I do not have any type of association with them whatsoever, including my ex husband. They are only interested in being “aggravating” like they haven’t already done enough. I don’t need to waste a whole paragraph on individuals who don’t like me either. They don’t deserve it. I will continue to pray for them and keep it moving. I will continue to ask God to help me with my forgiveness walk. 🙏🏽😊
Anyway, I’m interested in staying connected to genuine people who want to see me WIN just like I like to see other people WIN. So as I continue to “evaluate” my internet “presence” please be in prayer for me. I pray that you will experience divine transformation in every area of your life.
I have a unique “community” here. There are people on my page from all walks of life and industries. People who met me as a married woman are used to seeing “ Superwoman” Kristie. They really don’t know what to do with the “Solitude” “Single” Kristie. I’m figuring life out. That’s my process right now. I reached a humble place going through a divorce and aftermath. Going through “court” processes for a total of 7 years has been exhausting to say the least. So please pardon me or be patient with me (perhaps) as my “rebuilding” “restoration” process continues. I thank God for this grace and mercy.
My desire is to walk in his purpose for my life. I am NOT perfect by any means. Sharing my testimony is important to me. It includes my successes, mistakes, highs, lows, bad and good experiences. It makes me human like you. And I want to hear your stories! I hope my journey inspires others to want to transform their lives even if it is in a small way. That’s my prayer. In this season I want to be connected to the right people with the right intentions. If I did decide to leave, I would redirect my following to join me on another platform. If I’m going to be on here I am going to be more intentional in some areas. WHATEVER I decide to do, I will evaluate a little closer moving forward and make adjustments accordingly. Thankyou to those who have shown support. I appreciate it.
God bless you. Thankyou. Kristie Janel LinkTree: Kristie Janel Social
