Brief Warning

I was in the bathroom from 2-3am sick. You see whenever I stop eating what I need and take in too much junk my body will let me know its time to detox - warning me to wake up and live right.

This time though was only partially about physical health. In the last two years, I wandered from the path I was so passionately on. I became drained. I couldn't reach out anymore... its only in the last two difficult weeks that I've stumbled back towards home.

Why am I sharing this with you? Because God showed me something in this drastic morning wake up call.

God's going to call out His chosen. It's our choice whether we follow that call... Do we dare think that He will call a second time? You better cut that pride out. If God gives you a wake up call... WAKE UP. Do not hit that snooze button mumbling five more minutes... because He might just let you sleep. Don't risk it.

-- I'll be going more into this soon using Song of Sol 5:1-6.

Actions speak louder...

Allow me to share a particular conviction on my heart (in my personal life! I'm not yelling at ya'll, I promise haha. [If you are convicted though... what's that tell you?]).

--
We are responsible for the words we speak. We are ACCOUNTABLE. If you give instruction to another, you ought to be living that same instruction out yourself.

If you tell someone else that dating isn't right, you had better not be dating. If you tell another person that they should be digging into God's word, then YOU had better be digging into God's word. If you tell someone to quit their whining and press on... you got it, you should stop whining and just press on.

"But what about circumstances... what about different situations... there's all kinds of reasons-" No. There's all kinds of excuses. Either your word can be trusted or you're a hypocrite. As children of God we had better not be hypocrites in this world, because we're supposed to be reaching out to it. You wouldn't listen to one, right? So don't be one.

Remember that actions speak louder than words.
