So I'm sitting on my couch (ok, Tiane's couch) and I am listening to my vast collection of 1-1-SIX music. For those of you not familiar with the 1-1-SIX clique, it is a group of christian rap artists who seem to speak to me. All of their songs are pulled straight from not only scripture but how that scripture applies to their lives. It is rather awe inspiring when you you really listen to the lyrics. The 1-1-SIX moniker is derived from Romans 1:16. "I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus, for it is the salvation of man, first the Jew and then the Gentile." But that is not the point of this post. The point is that while listening to this collection of music I realize that my journey into rehabilitation is not an overnight process. I am very much a child of the now generation. This 14 second attention span, microwave, high speed internet, give it to me know mentality. Because I have one good day this does not mean that I am all of a sudden a better person. While it may be a step in the right direction, it does not mean I am where I should be. I will never be where I should be and I am coming to realize this. I will never achieve true holiness here on earth, but I am sure going to try. I am going to work on seeking God's face more. Reading His word more. Spending every day of my life not just proving myself to the people the I love but proving myself to God. I am and abomination in His sight need to be cleansed. I know that true joy comes through Him. I have been too quick to accept the flies and maggots that the world offers instead of the bread of life. So I now vow to for the first time be still and know that he is God.
Till Next Time <><
