Please Keep Me Accountable...

In life, people will not always agree with you. That's a fact. Christians will differ in their thoughts/opinions on certain issues. Life would be so much easier if everyone would agree but that's not possible. -_-; I'm realizing that instead of trying to persuade people that my thinking is correct, I need to leave the transformation part up to God. If I'm the one that needs a change of heart, then by all means, I must let go and let God. In everything, may God receive all the glory, praise, honor, and respect.


I'm posting this because I realized that I'm a person who does not really like to share my flaws. Well, no one really does. However, I feel that in order for me to truly change and become less prideful, I need to be transparent and have others keep me accountable. I pray that you will keep me in prayer so that I can become a better witness, representative, and ambassador of Christ Jesus, our Lord and Savior.

My sticky note that I posted on 2/8/10...


When debating about spiritual things/God, learn to:


1) Be humble.

2) Be patient.

3) Be in control of my emotions (do not get angry).

4) Not always have the last word.

5) Understand that people have seasons for faith (trust in God's timing).

6) Pray for them instead of arguing with them.

"Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity." -Colossians 3:12-14
