I'm not tryna be rude...
But I cant' help but notice by mere observation that some people are really trippen and slippen as of late. I think it's safe to say you need to check yo-self before your wreck yo-self.

*Be cautious to the company you keep because who you hang out with does reflect a lot upon your character. For example (this is used with my students so no one's toes will be stepped on) if you roll with someone who steals all the time and you're with them 24/7 , people are more than likely going to associate you with the stealing behavior as well).

*Living double lives is so not cool right now. Standing up against peer pressure is pretty hot. No body holds a gun up to your head and makes you do any of the things you chose to partake in. if you truely desire to change, CHANGE...if you continue to say one thing and do another, people will not hold you true to your word.

*Where are your priorities? Are you seeking the things of God or seeking the things of self? Trying to figure out who your next boy or girlfriend is going to be is not a priority.

*Watch out for shady, two faced, promisicous, devious, deceitful folks. They're everywhere (some even roll deep as wolves dressed up in sheeps clothing) so watch your back. These are the type of people who don't care how hard you fall. And they sure won't be there to pick you back up.

*Some things are not as they seem. For example: Robert could come up to me and be like "hey what's up you wanna go with me? but then on the sidelines he's still telling his X girlfriend that he loves her. Hmmmmmmm that is not okay so why waste your time with Robert? (names have been made up this is not a real case scenario)

*If you say you're going to do something, please follow through. Dont' talk about it, be about it. Then you won't look like a liar.

God has called us to a higher standard and it's time to step it up. I'm not saying I'm perfect because Lord knows I am not. But some things just need to be said and put out in the open. Especially the little, petty things that get in between you and God. Holla!

P.S Forgivenes is incrediably hard and it's something God has been stretching me in. So remember when you forigve someone who has hurt you it releases you from that person and places you in a position of power. What goes on in with the other person is really not of concern to you. God's got you!! Stay trusting in Him to pull you through.
