We are Who we hang with

Have you ever heard the saying, "You are who you hang with" ?

There is so much truth to that.

I love people. All kinds of people.

When i was in college, I hung with my peers Etc....

It's true, we are the company we keep.

It can be a double edged sword though.

Once again, I love people. But not all of them are close. As a matter of fact, most people I know i am not close to.

I only have a small group of people that I am close to. Even a smaller group that I "hang" with.

When i am at work, church, etc. it is easy to take on the attitude of the energy of those groups.

So, with that daily challenge, I hope to take on my own God given daily developed attitude. I would in short, like to be the best me I can be and be the example not the follower.

I asked Jesus

Well, my negitive attitude has redndered me some what i call "begging a prayer".

The other morning i was leaving work and I asked Jesus this question,

"Lord please show me waht you are doing at this point in life through me!!"

Well, He did. I am working at a large grocery store chain, at night, in the bakery. I took the job because we need the money.

God gave me this job for other additional reasons..... Devine appointments.

I walked into the bakery and met a nice kid about the age of my oldest son. It ends up, that I have known him for several years. he is a kid (young man) that has had what i would consider, a tough life. I asked Jesus to help me connect with Him. QWe did. Then last night, he was telling me how close he was to his Grandma.

I asked him a few questions about her, and it turns out that I had the opportunity of preaching at her funeral.

I remember proclaiming the Gospel, and his Grandma's sister came to Christ. He thought about it and we were both amazed at this "small world".

So, I asked Jesus another question. "jesus, please dont let me screw this up!"

God is good and faithfull even when we are bad and faithless.

Just a Thought.....
