What I learned in 2010
What I can build with my giftedness, I can destroy with my character.
That I am still saved, but because I'm saved, I realize that my decision to sin was not becuase I had to do it, but because I wanted to do it.
That alcohol is a substance I should refrain from as it always leads me to make poor decisions
That partying/clubbing/lounging//mingling is an activity that I must participate in with extreme discretion.
That living a Christian life is more than about self getting to heaven, but also about living a life that will get others to become Christian and follow Jesus.
That by God allowing this to happen has exposed parts of myself that I hadn't really acknowledged before. For instance, that my celibacy was not rooted in God principles, but rather in pursuit of another man. That I was acting like a spiritual brat and when I didn't get my way fast enough, i dissed God and did my own thing.... to my detriment.
That although I knew my calling and gifts, I wasn't really ready for the responsibility that came along with it.
That I will never be too saved to succumb to sin, which is why it is so important to maintain a prayed up, fasted up, non-inebreiated state to keep your guard.
That I'm human.
Till next time,
