Sober House

So lately my guilty pleasure has been to watch Sober House on VH1. I feel like I have to sneak around to watch it 1, because it is blocked from the TV and I have to put in the code, and 2, since the only TV here I can access is the ginormous TV downstairs I NEVER get a chance to just watch TV unless it is hecca late at night.

I really like this show. For those of you that don't know what it is, Sober house is a continuation of Celebrity Rehab. The celebrities went into a Sober living house and the show documents their journey to sobriety. From watching the show, you cant help but feel with each celebrity as they struggle to stay sober. They have to make the choice each day to whether or not they will stay sober. They have to make the choice every single day to stay sober. ITs not easy Im sure. They probablly think about quitting everyday. Maybe even to just give in just one more time. But is it worth the cost? One slip up and they are back to square one...

When I was watching the show this week, I saw how much this show can show me about my walk with God. Every single day, I have to make the choice: to be a Christ-follower or to stray. I have to count the cost everyday. Some days I have thoughts to give up, to quit, and to turn back to the world. But then I think about the cost. Even more than what it would cost me in this world: the people I would let down, the pain I would bring to so many people, the pain I would bring to God, and then the pain of having to start all over, I could possibly be compromising my eternity. Each day is a choice between life and death. I want to choose life.

Jesus said: "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." (John 10:10) Jesus wants you to choose life. He wants you to choose him and He will give you life. Im not saying that your life will be easy, but you can have abundant life with Jesus. The thief, Satan, will do anything he can to get you away from God. When you have doubts and feelings of defeat, turn to God. Praise God for who he is and be thankful for what you have. Also, never forget where you have come from and how far God has brought you. "he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus" (phillipians 1:6) When I think about where God has brought me and where he is calling me out to be, I never want to give up. It really helps to know that God is with me.

Well Im praying for you guys and I hope all is well. If you have any prayer requests or just wanna chop it up, shoot me a line bluud! I love you guys!
