#LegDay and #EMOM Gifts for Everyone

It is the day after YHC’s birthdayversary.  It is also the last Q before getting my superpowers unlocked.  Next week is surgery week, the surgeon will have to go into my shoulder and anchor down my rotator cuff…once that happens, it’ll unlock my superpowers after 3-6 months.  All those MRI’s and X-Ray’s are finally paying off!

BOM/Devo

YHC was making the drive back from Blacksburg this past weekend and since it was a Sunday, was missing church.  So scanning through the radio stations, found a sermon that was given by a man who at the time had been married for 25 years (now at 62 years and counting). He was going through a list of 5 things to help maintain a strong marriage.  So I tuned in and listened.  While driving the station started to fade so I scanned again only to pick it up on the next station, guess I was meant to hear this message.

He touched on a few things; like being honest with yourself and your spouse, not going to bed angry, and don’t tell lies and then more lies to cover up those lies.  One thing he said was a quote, and it stood out to me – “Don’t sacrifice permanent on the alter of immediate”.

How many times have we done that?  Taken the immediate route and not thought it through, not thinking about the permanent outcome that can come from our decisions. That immediate thing could be the immediate satisfaction from a multitude of things; porn, another person, drinks, and even words.  Often we don’t think about the damage that can come from these things. I know I had the opportunity to go back to a younger me, I’d change things but I can’t so I move forward and grow.

We have to trust in God that he will help us through and pray that we have the strength, discipline, and righteousness to make the right decisions…and if we don’t, we have to own up to the damage we caused.  We have to put our faith in him each and every day.  Proverbs 3:5-6 says, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight”.
