Continually learning

One thing I am learning from this blog is how I need to work on my personality. I have flaws that are unacceptable and they cause me to have a hard time being a friend and just in general a good person. I am selfish, rude, and unkind. The blog revealed it by my thinking that I couldn't let certain people see my posts because they would get offended. That stopped me in my tracks. Suddenly, I realized that I am unkind by talking bad about poeple behind their backs. If it cannot be said to the person being referred to then I need to stop and run it through the SIFTER (HOLY SPIRIT).

I have just read most of the way through the book, "In His Steps." I read it when I was in school and loved it. If you haven't read it, it is what they based the WWJD movement on. Go read it. You can pick it up cheap at www.christianbook.com or get it from your church library. But it askes What Would JESUS Do?

I have always wanted to be the person that other people remember for never saying anything bad about anyone. I have a friend like that and I really admire her. It takes a whole lot of self-control and she just has it down. Love you MoHomey. I need to ask WWJD evey time I began to talk about anyone. GOD was showing me about the speck and the plank last week. You know how you point out a speck in someones eye and you can't even see because of the plank in your own. I was so wrapped up in others bad behaviour that I was justifying mine by saying that the "truth" needed to be spoken. Ha! I was blindsided by the plank.

I have noticed that if I focus on the good and great about people the bad doesn't even matter. And who am I to say what is bad.

I need to apologize to all who have read this blog. I am a hard person and very unloving. I have not been a pure joy or the light that I should be. GOD deserves better from me and my attitude needs to change.
