Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, Oh Lord, my strength and Redeemer." -Psalm 19:14

Stumbling, On These Shadowfeet

It gets harder; especially when you decide to stand for Christ. When you decide to say that you won’t do things like the world but you will be set apart. Everything is a fight; everyday. Who do we make it? We have to remember who we serve, who is walking along side us. Who is this person: his name is Jesus. I am the first to say that the moment I open my eyes the battle begins; to have to die to things, desires, habits that I used to do; that the world encourages is the hardest thing. So when I am stumbling, I go to Jesus. He’s the rock, He keeps me standing; He holds my hand. I hope someone is blessed by this.

Watch What You Say/Do

On Sunday, one of the members of the church was testifying about being humble when one of my younger brothers in Christ tapped me and said: "That's what you always talk about; being humble." I never realize I have been talking about it so much. I know over the past year the Lord has been dealing with me and I have been sharing my experiences with the Youth in my church so that they know they are not alone in their struggle(s). We have to be careful what we say and do in front of the people who are looking at us for an example of Christ. We have this game we play on our youth nights when service is done; it is kind of like Charades except you have to guess who in the church the person is. It's so frightening when you realize how closely the Youth watch us. I realize that they have to see a difference in us everyday....
