I was thinking the other day of how many things can become idols in my life. I was talking with my friend Chad over Skype and we were just discussing some areas of our life that we made into idols. We both mentioned relationships with boyfriends/girlfriends (or just wanting a relationship in general). We mentioned TV shows, the computer, sports, video games, jobs, etc. He also mentioned his blog/YouTube site (he has his own channel he does a few videos on and his own blog he writes everyday). There are so many things that become idols in our lives. We were even discussing how godly things or things we try and do for God can become idols in our lives. We can sometimes put things we do for God in front of God or lose site of what our real purpose is. We were discussing how it is just so easy for things to slide in and take over. I just wanted to put this blog out there for others to be able to help keep me accountable to not let things become idols in my life. I have let many things become things I have put before God, sometimes not even realizing it and sometimes just making excuses for those things, and I don't want to do that anymore. I just have been trying to grow more lately and change as a woman for Christ and I have a lot of things I want to change in myself and things I want to do for Him. I want Him first and nothing else to block His path in my life. So, in order to do that, as my brothers and sisters in Christ please point out to me when I'm in the wrong. I want my light to be bright and not dulled by anything of this world or anything I shade or hide the light with. :) Thanks guys! I Love you all! :D
