I remember back in the day I use to curse really bad and be really really loud. I'd go off at a drop of a hat. Anywhere. Anytime. I had NO FILTER. As God started dealing with me it seemed I'd stumble upon every situation that would show me how I really was. Like the Dallas Cowboys Jumbo tron; that person would remind me of myself. I'd get into disagreements with people and I'd be going full tilt in the argument and hear God whisper to me. I'd stop going off and say I'm sorry right in the middle of the argument and start crying. I'd have to say I changed first because I was tired of being embarrassed by breaking down every time God showed me myself. Eventually I changed because I wanted to be pleasing to God. I wanted to be the person God said I could be.
It was no easy task to change. And there were so many times - too many to count - that I just blew it. I failed miserably. Each time God forgave me and encouraged me to keep going. And I am glad that I did.
We have all heard it before; Life is not a Sprint it's a journey/marathon however; you want to say it. You are going to have hard times and easy times. At the end of the day it is up to you to stay on your path and change the things you need to change. To look at life as offering you lessons/opportunities to see yourself how you really are and not how you believe you are. There is nothing like looking in the mirror!
Do you have a 'SACRED COW; PET PEEVE CHALLENGE' story and want to share?
Please chime in.
