I am sitting here at Night and Day coffee shop busy with work, trying so hard not to be distracted by how beautiful it is outside and how much I just want to go outside and do something. Im sitting here on Twitter, communicating with Christians from ALL OVER the world! I am in awe of how easy it is to communicate in 2010. In the 1990's the internet was barely even working and we had to rely on phones (not cell phones) and meeting other Christians the old fashioned way. In 2010 networking with other Christians is as easy as turning on your computer and connecting to the internet.

Twitter especially is great for this. I have met some amazing, inspiring Christians on twitter who have challenged me in my walk with Christ, inspired me and motivated me. Twitter allows me to find people from all over the world who are Christians and network with them thru the internet! In 2001 this wasn't even really possible. In 2010 we have Facebook, twitter, instant messenger, myspace (which is LAME!), and Blogging! I LOVE blogging, I love reading other peoples blogs. I enjoy reading what God is doing in other peoples lives all over the world. Reading blogs allows me a glimpse into the life of a person I have never physically met but have networked with online. The internet and social networking gives Christians from all over the world the means to communicate, connect and enjoy meeting other members of the Body of Christ worldwide! Twitter especially is an awesome resource for social networking. Facebook is more geared toward connecting with people you already know but twitter allows you to network with people you will probably never physically meet! In 2010 we have so many resources to connect, inspire, relate and grow together as the Body of Christ. The question is, are we using our resources? We are called to be in fellowship with one another so why not use all our resources to be in "fellowship" with more Christians than our church groups, friends, etc? The internet allows us to do this easily and we definitely should jump on the bandwagon. Media and Social Networking is a gift and I definitely want to use it as best as I can for Gods glory and what better way than to network with my brothers and sister in Christ? Blogging is also a great way to connect! Writing about what God is doing in your life, your church, etc is a great way to be in touch with others. Christians Forums as well, are a great resource. (youngleadersunited.ning.com is a gr8 one). Use technology, media, social networking as part of your Christian walk. I love being able to easily network with the Church worldwide!
