Revenge

Today is Day 2 of Lent and my quest to rid myself of alcohol, I have been having alot of doubters and people who are really close to me telling me they doubt I will actually quit drinking for Lent, and I will, hopefully I get to the point where I won't even want to have a beer and my friends won't pressure me, I think tonight I'm gonna go on my little self-test to see how strong I am, I think I am gonna be going to a bar and drinking water. I really am gonna have to stare satan right in the face and say NO! I do not want a beer....I promised to my friend and myself, mostly I promised it to "Big Guns Upstairs", and no I'm not talking about Big Ed, lol, even though that would be an awesome nickname for him.

The title revenge comes from Pastor Justin's Maxim sermon last night. I am gonna be completely honest and just come out and say it, but last night I kinda drug my feet to church but I'm so happy that I decided to go, Justin talked about how wanted revenge with people and not willing to forgive people is completely rotting us from the inside out, and that has really inspired me hardcore. I have decided to completely forgive a certain brother and sister from PV, most of my close friends know who I'm talking about. I truly hope they can forgive me too. I felt so liberated by doing that. It was one of the greatest moments of my life, when I decided I will refuse to hold grudges from here on out. For example Matthew 18:21-22, it was an amazing message that opened my eyes. Justin talked about how people get paranoid that people don't like them b/c they don't love others. Well the train of hate STOPS HERE, and i'm gonna start forgiving everyone and not holding grudges anymore. I'm going to love every person for everything that they are, they might not love me, but we are all God's children, so no matter what I know I share that with them.

I was asked to not to talk about God by one of my best friends, and I told them that I don't wanna push anything on anyone that does not want it, but I do want people to understand all the greatness that I feel now. He has already shown himself to help me. And for that I can't do anything but bow down and its time to let go of everything we used to know, I want to have a brand new life filled with happiness, love, and no hangovers!!! lol Anyways I'm done for today, and as promised is today's question to think about: If you had one completely free day and you could do only one thing and be in one place for that day, what and where would it be?

For me it would be spending the day at a sporting event with a group of friends, followed up by just sitting around and hanging out with my friends. I love you guys and you all out there. Take care :)
