Changing

I am changing. I feel it. I see it. So many things I used to tolerate, I don't anymore. I see things out in the world and know they are not right or good. I have to stop and think "am I being judgmental?". If I am, I keep the thoughts to myself. Like those females out there that seem to think showing off all their skin is "sexy". It is not. It is a good way to get unwanted attention or in their case I guess it is wanted. It is a good way to get others to disrespect you and not think highly of you. My biggest problem with it is that these women become some type of role models for these young, impressionable girls. These girls think this is the best way to capture a man, or in their case, a boy's attention. Whatever happened to the mind being "sexy"? Maybe that is not the right word to use, but that at some point in time, was attractive.

Now we have been reduced to having to look appealing to be noticed. Look what appealing got Eve. An appealing apple brought down all kinds of unwanted, negative consequences. No one looks at the big picture...at the consequences of our actions. Everybody is so busy wanting what they want when they want it, they don't have time to mull over the possible consequences.

I ask God to help me die to self daily. Change is not always easy. Especially for people who don't like change, however there are times when it is necessary. Especially when it ends up helping us. But sometimes we never know until God changes us. God will take me from what I used to be and change me into being like Him. I am fine with that. I am ready for that. All the ups and downs that go with it. As long as God keeps His promises, which I know He will, in whatever way, shape, or form, I know I will be just fine.

Thank you God for the work you are doing in me. Life will be so much better, I know not always easier, with You leading the way.....

Until we talk again.....
