Hi again lol
1 Peter 1: 13Therefore, prepare your minds for action; be self-controlled; set your hope fully on the grace to be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed. 14As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. 15But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; 16for it is written: "Be holy, because I am holy."[a]
This spoke to me a lot. I have had major issues with self control my whole life. Whenever I want something I usually cannot restrain myself...this relates to overeating, opening my mouth when it should be shut, knowingly doing things that IM not supposed to just because I cannot control myself, etc. Some of these sound silly but I think they sometimes lead to more serious sins. I would really like to learn self-control and become more of a Godly woman...I do not think that I can change by myself, but it will have to be the holy spirit working in me! w00t w00t

ReplyDeleteThe wise Stephen Covey :) asks, "What one thing could you do (you aren't doing now) that if you did on a regular basis, would make a tremendous positive difference in your personal life?"
Just thinking about that is so motivating to me.
