:X

If you've known me for longer than 5 minutes, you'll know I do dumb stuff all the time. 

Oh yeah. 

Here I am, trying to avoid the word "lucky" at all costs, because I just don't believe in luck. I believe God blesses us immeasurably more. I always try NOT to say "I'm so lucky to be with Matt". Luck had nothing to do with it. I prayed for a man like Matt, and God answered my prayer... I am *blessed* to have Matt. 

I am not lucky to have two awesome camera's, photo-shop and video editing software. I am *blessed* to have it. 

I am not lucky to have found awesome apartments over in Ormond that I am going to be able to decorate all awesome with the help of wedding gifts and some good ideas...I am *blessed*.

You get the idea. 

So while I'm right in the middle of learning about abundant blessings and lack of luck, I open up my blog...and the title I gave it smacks me right in the face. What was I thinking?? 

I guess I wasn't. 

Haha. 

On another point, most people know that I am one of those people who don't particularly watch what they say. After becoming a Christian, I found this a very hard trait to overcome, and I don't like when people tell me what I can and can't say.

At all. 

I get it...don't cuss. Keep your words pure. Thats fine. Control your temper. Use your words wisely.

Watching everything I say was a hard lesson to learn. I don't think I'm alone when I say I hate walking on eggshells all the time. 

But God taught me, slowly but surely...all your words are a form of ministry. 

I'm just thinking, "Really God. Don't make me have to let go of my pride here. My pride and I are pretty tight you know." 

I wasn't happy. 

Not that I'm judging, cuz I have said some pretty, down-right terrible stuff when I'm mad. But even though I do it, when I see another Christian do it, it always takes me by surprise. I'm not sure why but it does.

So that got me thinking...how many people have I thrown off by the stuff I say? 

Ugh. Darnit....

Makes me wanna keep my mouth shut all the time. 

Matthew 12:36

But I tell you, that men will give account on the day of judgement to every careless word they have spoken.

Uh oh...  

How many people have YOU thrown off by what you say? Sometimes the words you speak are the only Scripture people will hear. Lets all keep that in mind :)
