Blogging is very difficult for me because I never really know how to start! So I guess I'll just get to the point! I learned a lot this weekend about myself and the way I react to falling from the way I know I should be living. I got to see my friend that was very instrumental in showing me the truth of the gospel and the love of Jesus. She has changed a lot and is not the same but neither am I and we have definitely grown apart from each other and live two very different lives. We went to a really cool place called "T-Bone Toms" in Kemah, TX. I had fun for about the first 2 hours after that though I was just done. I ate the best dang bar-b-que sandwich! I ended up not having the greatest night because I put myself in a situation where it was almost impossible to say no and completely ignored what wisdom and what my heart was telling me. I had a person who loves me dearly tell me that she wasn't 100% comfortable with the idea of me going and I should have listened. I really learned that friends like this are given to us for a reason and they are often used by God for our own safety and protection. They're kinda like our immune system when they see something that they think isn't good they start fighting and I have learned through my experience that I should listen to those people!
Also, its not a very smart idea to lie. Just tell the truth and face the consequences because the consequences of the lie are usually worse. I think most people would prefer the truth and be a little hurt than a lie and have to figure out what is true and be double hurt. Lying always causes more of a problem than a solution because the truth will always come out!
I also learned that it's really not about the fall but more about what I do after the fall that really matters.
It's a choice..stay down and wallow in self-pity or get up repent and go take the next practical step which may be something as simple as worshiping!
