Friends, Family & Foe's
As hard as this may be to write (kind of, sort of) I have to say it.... I think we all need to be told or reminded every now and then that things will not always be the same. Things will change (for the better) but I expect all those around me to understand and if you choose to stay around; adapt to those changes. I don't feel like I'm asking much, just to respect me and mine.
So you ask the question: Are you upset? Was it something I did?
Let’s just say that I am speaking for what to come rather then what have already taken place.
Everybody at some point in time will come to the realization that there are something’s in their life that they just can not tolerate, accept or condone anymore. I found this to be true when I accepted Christ in my life (in my babe stages)......but I found it even more to be true when God begin to mature me in my walk with him (growing, learning, elevating).
You see, when I first gave my life to Christ (accepting Salvation) I really wasn't expecting folks to understand, accept or even encourage the change that was taking place in my life. Some did and other did not. Those that did not have a desire to change (quite as kept) were more acceptable with my decision then those that may have spoken on changing but just haven't done it yet. "Yeah I thought that was funny too". Now that I am mature now and my walk with Christ is stronger and steadier…I find that those closes by me are not too “openly” acceptable with change. Meaning: They understand what I’m doing, but because there not quit ready themselves to make that change, they’re not as receptive to the changes that I’m making in my life.
BUT AS FOR ME AND MY HOUSE, WE WILL SERVE THE LORD!! (Joshua 24:15)
No, I am not perfect, and yes, I still and will probably continue to make mistakes but a standard has to be set “FOR ME and MY HOUSE” I can not speak about what goes on in anyone else household or personal life but I can speak about my life and my household.
The Threshold of my House is where Holiness begins and Sin ends…
The Threshold of my Life is where Holiness enters and Sin is evicted (daily)…
So to everyone that’s reading, check yourself the next time you enter someone’s house and check yourself at who you allow into your Life. You know your life and your house has a spiritual connection, what you allow in your house can either make or destroy your life and what you allow in your life can make or destroy your household.
BUT AS FOR ME AND MY HOUSE, WE WILL SERVE THE LORD!!

Danny that was a truly interesting post. Although you were speaking to your interpersonal relationships I also enjoyed reading your intrapersonal perspective as well. You took control over what enters not just your house, but your temple and that is something I know I need to take care of as well. Your words has meaning behind them in this post and hopefully those who read it will be able to grasp the concept as well. Sidenote: If you can add the following icon to your blog so that I can become a follower. Good job.
A Danny thanks for the scripture and the comment. (Nicole aka 2Sense also enjoyed your comment. She's another great blogger) I know that I'm making the right choice and prayerfully my waiting won't be in vain, but I need to make sure that I check my motives, that I keep my defenses up, and that I also make sure I have an accountable accountability partner. Things will get better. A man add the following Icon to your blog too. Keep Blogging you're doing really well.
