(no subject)
okay so.... I came accross some information that has opened up my mind a little more. I don't think it was an accident, because God told me to look for information.. so I did.. here it is..
A must read
now... just because I'm a little bit more open-minded doesn't mean that I'm going to change and do things that I don't normally do. I am who I am for who I am not for what I do. I may be a great actress today, but what if tomorrow I lose my legs and arms or my voice, or vision and I'm not able to ever act again? Does it change who I am? No, it doesn't. It comes from the value of my heart not from my vocation.
Personally, I don't ever want to start smoking not only because I sing and it destroys your vocals, but because I grew up with both my parents smoking and although they quit many years ago because it was hurting my health (asthma) and because they wanted to give up this addiction, they now have to live on medication. They are drugged daily, so that they may see another day. I don't want that. And as for my dad, he drank a lot of alchohol as well and so his liver sucks now. He's had to get surgery and all these weird crazy things done to him because he doesn't want to feel the pain that's killing him.
And yes, too much of ANYTHING can seriously hurt you and even kill you.. it's up to you to decide what you will do, what you want to do or not do, how you dose yourself. You have free will and I will not judge whatever it is you do. I will love you for who you are.
As for me, I have given my life to God and I have surrendered to His love. For He has given me everything. I was made for Him and His glory, not Him for me and my glory. I have given up my top three deadly sins (pride, greed, and lust) and have decided to fight it with my sword and shield. (the shield which is my shield of faith, and the sword which is the word of God).
How this ties anything to it:
"Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's spirit dwells in your midst?"
1Corinthians 3:16
"So whether you eat or drink or whatever it is you do, do it all for the glory of God"
1Conrinthians 10:31
My body is my temple to worship God in, therefore I must take care of it because He wants me to be healthy so that I can continue to worship His name and glorify Him.
This also means that I have changed the way I eat so that I may be healthy, as well as how much I excercise. It is not for the world or for the sinful man that I do it, but for the glory of God, for He is my purpose.
If you don't believe, I just want you to know that Jesus loves you.
