Many times we steer away from the person we know we are supposed to be. For me I have accepted that I am human therefore I can't be perfect, but I can try. I also have the power to change my life at any given moment without getting consent from anyone else. Since my surgery I have had a lot of time to reflect and work on my relationship with God. And I can honestly say it's time to change. One of my biggest problems is my inability to forgive those that have done me wrong because they have done me wrong in such a huge way. I know that if I want to continue to lead a blessed life I must release these grudges that I allow to hold me down. It has become more of a burden then anything else. I have learned that if I want to be a more perfect follower of Christ I need to fully commit to him. To do so I must turn loose of the real world. I can't have one foot in my faith and the other in the "real world" because this is only going to distract me and tempt me to turn away from my faith. I'm going to spend the next couple of weeks bettering myself. Why will it take a couple of weeks? Because we as humans aren't perfect and it will take time to work towards my goal. The next thing I must overcome is how quick tempered I am. That is a trait that I learned from my dad and I need to move past it for myself and future relationships with family and friends.
2 Corinthians 11:3; But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent's cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ.
