My Choice 12/11/08

Well Ally is talking about fruit of the spirit. Since the seris is her i'll let her start it hehe. Anywas its been a really long time since i wrote. So here is a Chris Devo:

Psalm 141:3 (New International Version)

3 Set a guard over my mouth, O LORD;
keep watch over the door of my lips.

Well, my choice: Ice cream or candy. To sin or be Christ Like

We have so many choices in our lives and today im not going to talk about these type of choices. Instead im going to talk about choices in your words.

Everyone has a bit of leadership seed in everysingle one of them. We need to let that seed sprout. Well some people always go i dont want to be a leader. Then they are the assistiace of the leader kicking the leader in the butt saying get your head in the game

But thats not the point. What you say can hurt someone. Leader or not a leader it can influence a person alot. Friends to freinds teachers to teachers. What you can say can really emotionally kill a guy.

"sticks and stones may break my bones
But words dont"
THAT PHRASE IS SO WRONG!!!!!!!
As a growing learning to be mature leader. i done my share of mistakes only day 1 and i messed up. I told my friends if you cant come to pratice dont do the praise night. Well sounds fair right. But i said it 1 week away....which wasnt fair.
I didnt emphisis enough about if you have fmaily things or project. Which was my wrong. It hurt some people for what i said.

I really hate you......
Boyfriend and girlfriend. The girlfriend says that to the boyfriend. Most boys look tough on the otuside. dont cry and everything. The girl might be joking but sometimes that can be hurtful

Cussing:
Lose in game and this rainbow langue comes out. Everyone arond you is schocked and tells them if he can say it its ok for me to say it.

Just 3 examples right here.....seems small right. Small things add up..... The verse today tells us bascily to ask God to help us gruad our lips. Because as human beings we are not perfect and we say alot of things we dont mean. God can help us not to but in reality if we went in alone. Your pobbaly be worse then were you started. God is the only way we can stop saying these type of things. Something that relaly helps is
to think before you speak.

Challenge:
Are you letting the Holy Spirit control your lips?
THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK try it =)
