It's been a while

I initially thought I would write something in this blog about 2 times a week, well here it has been about 2 weeks since I've written anything. A few things have changed since the last time I wrote, but it's all good. This Blog really isn't about me, I didn't create this blog to lay out my life story, unload frustrations or give up juicy details about what's going on in my day to day life.
That's what friends are for. I think friends are very important. If God wanted everyone to just be alone all the time he would have mentioned it in the bible and he would have never had the church come into existence. I could go into deep detail, but make sure to never neglect your friends. Friends are a gift from God and I know that my friends have helped me not only become a better man, but also strengthen my relationship with God. Moral of this blog... Cherish your friends, and just because you might be busy or whatever, don't forget about them. Heck it might be random, but you could even just call a friend and tell them that you appreciate them and you're glad they are your friend. It might seem weird to randomly call them, but I'm pretty sure everyone likes to know that they are appreciated.

it's starting to make sense now..

I've basically been feeling a little under the weather since saturday and I honestly really hate it, but tonight I realized why I might have been sick. God allowed me to be sick tonight so I would stay home and spend about 2 hours reading his word. If I was in good health, I would be out on my bike or doing something else outside. Although things don't always make sense to me.. I think this really makes sense, God broke me down so I would spend time with him and get back on track with my daily reading.. this is a true wake up call, because I shouldn't have to wait until I'm sick to spend time in the word, I'm realizing that it should be a daily priority and not just a back up plan for when I'm sick and have very few other options for entertainment. I guess what I'm saying is.. don't wait until it's too late for God to get a hold of you..

Blame it on the... ?

This just randomly popped into my head so I thought I'd write something about it. There is a song on the radio called " blame it on the.." If you listen to the song you know that is followed by .. the alcohol. Don't stop reading and think I'm going to go on a rant about drinking.. although I very easily could and may eventually go that direction, that's not my intentions for this post.

I'm just thinking how many times do we blame our own personal actions on other things within our life? I know I do for sure. Like right now, I don't really want to do much because I'm sick and my main desire is to just take it easy. I also speed ALOT, I sometimes blame it on the fact that I'm in a hurry or that it's hard not to when everyone else around me is. I won't even eat certain things because I'm a "picky eater." I know I, and maybe you do too, tend to make excuses for why we do or don't do certain things. I'll just cut to the chase, my challenge is.. do the right things and leave the wrong things alone, because eventually when you stand at the throne of God and you have to answer for your life, you can't say, " well, I blame it on the following things." Make it a point to hold yourself accountable to what is right and focus on not making excuses and you will find that your life will be a lot more rewarding and you won't look back with regret on all the excuses you made for not doing the things you wish you would have done, or doing the things that you know you shouldn't have done.
