#78. That One Friend on Instagram

Ah, Instagram. A place where you can follow accounts that suit all of your interests. From worship pastors who post way too many pictures of themselves on stage, to your typical Christian friend and her perfectly filtered devotional photos.

There are millions of accounts on Instagram, but every Christian on there has one friend who tends to take things to the next level. You know who I'm talking about.

This friend's captions read more like a devotional than anything else. Apparently, every single event in their life is worthy of massive introspection and a compulsion to overshare everything.Whereas a normal person would post a picture of their kids in the park with something like, "They had so much fun at the park!"

This friend of yours would post something like this:

"As they both went down the slide, I began to think about how life is like a long slide. It can be scary when you're looking down, way into the future, but as my kids know to trust me that I'm there to catch them, I know that the Father is there to catch us. Little Johnny scraped his knee while I was writing this post, but he knows that once we get home, I'll put on a band-aid, and this make me think about how the Father has also healed all the wounds of my heart. #blessed #intentional #nofilter #vsco #simpleliving #authenticliving"

Is every moment in life worthy of an epiphany? No, if it were so, we would have no time to actually live with all of these sudden "revelations." A day in the park can be just that; pure fun.

How would your friend caption the picture below?
