This Or That
Hey friends!
We are a little over halfway done with January already! Have you stuck to the goals that you set on January 1st? We have been cooking every day and spending less for sure, but man, those Instagram ads are soo tempting! Do you get as spooked as we do when your ads are exactly what you talked about with friends? Sometimes I haven't even searched them or said them, and they're spot on! It's so easy to start my day off with good intentions to not shop or eat out and then quickly get swayed by ads if I'm not strong enough.
When you wake up in the morning, starting off with some meditation, prayer, or worship, is it easy for you to be swayed? Is it easy for you to be influenced by social media and those around you, or are you able to stand firm in what you believe? Often we let culture around us have a stronger say in our lives than we let God and the bible have. So tell me, where do you draw the line? Where do your morals come from? Is it from what is trending or what you know to be the living word of God?
This week as we continue to grow and put some action in our faith, I'd like you to ask yourself something as you make decisions. Am I moving based on what God says or what the world says? Am I quicker to say yes to a TikTok than to my pastor or students group leaders? Consider your goals and the life you want to live. Are they centered around making you known or God known?
Lots of questions to be answered and considered. This or that. We have to ask daily in this journey to grow in Christ more. We pray that as you move, you let God be the guide. We are here to help you along the way!
We love you!
Jesse and Marissa
