Wednesday

I had a really bad and stressful day at work, and unfortunately it really took me over today. It just knocked me down. I am usually pretty positive, but today it overwhelmed me. I went to Men's ministry this evening and as usually it helped to snap out of it a bit. I would not say totally... but it helped me. We were talking about Putting on Christ, and discussed temptations. Now, you can get into some really heavy stuff at these sessions, and temptations is one of those topics. But temptations are not always cardinal sins... it can be as simple as doing something you know you shouldn't but you do it anyway. A great example for me is watching TV or watching videos on my phone. It is a total distraction, and adds NO value to me or my day. But I put on that TV or get on my phone way too much and it takes away from important things like family, friends, and even sleep. We all need to think about the temptations and we all "HAVE" to work at defeating those temptations, what ever that might be for you. But you cannot let your guard down. Keep Moving!!!
