I know that I'm a sinner and it's bad that I'm doing it.There has been a lot of things going on and I'm sorry that I haven't been doing my daily duties as a Christian.In the bible it says that:

"A fool gives full vent to his anger, but a wise man keeps himself under control."Proverbs 29:11 (NIV)

                     (This means that he/she who acts like a FOOL or UNGODLY gives off anger doesn't understand to know how to keep themselves under control. But, a man or woman of God knows how to keep themselves under control when they stick to Lord's world by not being worldly.)-This is what I get from this verse, even though I have been behaving like a fool; praying and asking for forgiveness, and talking to the LORD will help me with my actions. 

"For joy of the LORD is your strength."-Nehemiah 8:10

(This means that even though we may not have a lot of strength and when it comes to a point in time when a person wants to give up; The LORD will lift your spirits up and bring joy in your life.)-This is what this verse means to me; when I read this: I thank GOD for all he has done. At most times I did want to give up and question GOD and myself. Now, I understand why.

  "Greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world."-1 John 4:4

 (This means that even though GOD is in all of us and we shouldn't compare ourselves to the world.)

I use to compare myself with other people a lot; because, I use to care what others thought of me.
Now that I'm saved, I take life as a blessing and I thank The LORD for all that he has done for being THE GREATEST because at times when I did compare myself with the world. GOD will bring me back to the Christian Life and warn me that it's not great to be like everyone else; I should do by his word.  

"Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace and pursue it."-Psalms 34:14

This means that I should separate myself from doing bad things and turn to God. Even though I can do great things because I know that THE LORD is within me. I can seek peace and dwell in it. I can also pursue myself if I turn away from doing bad and turn to the good things that GOD wanted me to do.

I just want to thank God for all he has done for me. I took so many things for granted and I haven't taken life seriously, besides getting distracted from home and school I need to go back to church because I feel like I have been doing the wrong thing and I haven't been doing the things I should be doing.

God has been there for me always and I know that sinning isn't good for all Christians; but, I just feel like I need to get my life in order and put myself on the right track. 

I just think him for everything, life, family, friends, a gift of soooo many talents.
I just don't want to take my life for granted I just want to be grateful for all the things I have.
                             Thank you God 

Today I thought of a good life lesson that has been going on through my head. I have been wondering what would life be like for me if I was liked everywhere I went. But this is reality regardless. 

Here is on of the lessons I learned:

 SET YOUR AFFECTION ON THINGS ABOVE, NOT ON THINGS ON EARTH.-Colossians 3:2

This means that I shouldn't follow by the world I should set all of my attention on God.
Not get distracted on what the world is doing. I should follow God at all times.
With that said I want to apologize to My Heavenly Father for all the sins I have done; because I have been caught up in the world today that I haven't really been doing anything right for God. I just want to say I want to try to live by his word.(matter of fact I'm not going to say try. I just have to do it).
