Keeping things in perspective!

Don't compromise!

If you're friend is doing it, does not mean you should be doing it.

Don't compromise!

Wrong voices, make wrong choices.

Don't compromise!

If you don't surround yourself with positive Godly people, you will continue to fall. Make a change, a complete change. Listen to some good Christian music. Read the bible, think about what it says.

Don't compromise!

Don't fall back on unhealthy habits and thoughts because its where you feel safe and comfortable. The reason why it feels safe and comfortable now is because you made it your environment.

Don't compromise!

God designed you for a purpose, one that has lasting impacts on the kingdom and your loved ones. One of the coolest things I have ever read about our purpose in life is this,
"We know all that happens to us is working for our good - if we love God and are fitting into his plans (Romans 8:28). If you're a believer, the Bible says all things are working together for good - not that all things are good - but working together for good."

Don't compromise!

If you're struggling with habits, thoughts, and actions that you are not sure of. Don't settle with them, take them to the cross. Whatever causes you to even think or do it, stop it before you even reach it. For example, if you struggle with porn, don't buy a computer. If you're an alcoholic, don't walk near the alcohol section at the store. If you like to do drugs with friends, don't answer theircall you know why they are calling you.

Change is possible, I know it is. But there is a difference between wanting to change and the actually desire to change. I want to change is like saying I want a car. Its just a statement is not an action. I desire to change is a positive thought and requires implementation.

My personal testimony is I got ride of certain voices, things, and thoughts in my life that I knew would not help me move forward. I desired a change, I knew I could do it. But if I really was going to change it starts by changing my habits.

Before I even decided to move to Texas, God wanted me to make some changes in my life. I didn't want to, I was embarrassed, I had a hard time letting go. But it seems God had a bigger plan for why He wanted me to do it and now I see why.

First: I got ride of all my rated R and unrated movies that I knew were not good to watch. The hardest thing to do was get ride of 40 Year Old Virgin, one of my favorite movies.
Second: Change my internet habits, no more late nights on the internet unless I was doing something productive like looking for a job or devotional time.
Third: I love video games but that become a big habit. I sold my Xbox 360 and video games.

I have an incredible desire to let people know whats going through my head right now. God is really using this moving for a higher calling. I know all my blogs are grammatically incorrect, but God is renewing my faith and people need to know. I could reword everything so its grammatically correct, but what fun would that be. God is using an imperfect person as me, and using me a light and an example of his love.
