OK so last night we went to celebration and we had this amazing sermon about putting God first/getting rid of all of the things in your life that hold you back from doing so. afterward and during i felt so convicted about some of the things I've been doing/saying that aren't glorifying God. stuff that i know is wrong but i keep doing anyway. Cory (our speaker) challenged us to pick three things that are holding us back and get rid of them. Here are my three:
1. Swearing (i don't do this all the time, but it's still a problem)
2. Making "that's what she said" jokes
3. Listening to music that isn't beneficial to my walk with Christ.
the first two are self explanatory the third is killing me. as i scroll through my iTunes library i feel so reluctant to start deleting...its just that i love music, it's my passion, it's the gift that gives me the most joy ever. also i paid for most of my music so i feel like I'm flushing my money down the toilet...but i know that i probably shouldn't have bought it in the first place.
i also had some really cool God experiences last night, i finally was able to forgive myself for past mistakes and accept the grace God's been giving me all along. that was cool. also I'm finding that as i read my bible more, I'm starting to hard core fall in love with Jesus again. i felt kinda numb before, like stagnant in my faith. last night God outlined me again. i needed it really bad.
well that's all for now.

Yo dog. I've been a bit convicted about the music thing as well - and I've started liking some Christian music as well (much to my suprise)! Interesting that you would be having the same thoughts...
yeah, it's not that I'm never listening to secular music or anything, i just really want to monitor which secular music i allow into my brain.
