I still can’t believe this happened. 😭 Over the weekend, I had been praying really hard about social media.

I’ve wrestled with this for a long time. Is this actually something God wants me doing or is it something I’ve become too attached to and need to be willing to walk away from?

Over the past year I’ve talked to my husband about it, I’ve talked to a priest about it, I’ve talked to my mom about it, I’ve talked to my friends about it and we’ll, you get the picture.

But over the weekend I finally prayed, “God, I need a sign. Like… burning bush level clear. 😂 Please tell me what You want me to do.”

Then Monday morning, before I did my weekly Ask Me Anything, I read the Gospel for the day.

It was the story of the rich young man who asks Jesus what more he needs to do. Jesus tells him to give up his possessions and follow Him, and the man walks away sad because he has many possessions.

It hit me so hard, so I prayed again. “What are You asking ME to give up?”

I’ve given You my womb. I’ve given You my family. I want my life to belong to You. My goal is Heaven. So if there is something standing between me and You, show me.

And I specifically thought about social media because that would be hard for me to give up but I told Him that if He was asking me to walk away from it, I would. I only asked that He please, please, PLEEEAAAASSE make it clear.

A little while later, I opened my Monday AMA and someone had submitted a question asking how I discerned being on social media as a Catholic.

And my answer was basically… “I don’t know.”

While I was answering that question, an email came in from my agent.

I had been invited, on behalf of the Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen Foundation, to attend the beatification of Fulton Sheen as a credentialed content creator. 🫨

And the reason they gave?

“Because, like Fulton Sheen, you are using the latest technology to spread the Gospel and bring souls closer to Christ.”

I literally got a black and white sign I was asking for 😭 “Ask and you shall receive”
