When you do something wrong and you know it.

Hi,
Li-ah hear.
Have you ever done something wrong, said something wrong and know it?

  I sure do more often than not. Its what i would say is my weakness in life. I say and do a lot of stupid things that I feel bad about latter after there over and done with and i'm left alown with my thoughts to think over what just happened. That is also something I do a lot. Think back threw my day look at what I said and did that could have brought someone down in a way i did not realize at that time. Well don't feel bad because your all listening to the master of putting foot in mouth and choking on it well its trying to go down. This is something i need and have to work on. Something that I am,even now, trying to work on. But i have realized somethings in my short 17 year life span that. That one as I get older theses types of things happen more often but people wont call you on it as much. You have to realize it for your self. I think its called self reflection and yeah i do think i'm getting along just fine with that. But how does one,me, go around trying to fix that part of me that seems to be malfunction? i know what to do go go to one of the best book that us out there for you to read. You guessed it the bible.

  So, what i wanted to talk about in this blog is how iv come to enjoy reading and using some verses in the bible to help me with my horrible foot in mouth problem.  

The first one is:
Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. Romans 12:21
  The first one is:  I really love this verse because it really does help. When your having one of thous days and you want to say. Hey you....... mouth choke. The evil you want to say to someone so that they can feel hurt is over coming you. In order not to be over come you need stop writ there and think What would Jesus do. I believe no i know its better to be over come by good. So when you want to say something or do something sower try to over come thous surges with something good like a nice word or a good action.

The second one is:
And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. Colossians 3:17o
I like this verse because when someone goes to do something we often doe it for ourselves.Really when we do things we think it will only affect us but in the deeper scenes of things truly effects everyone a who is in our life in the smallest ways with out really noticing and knowing it. that why we should watch out what we say and do.  SO if we think abut who we are doing things for we are most likely not going to do a lot of the things that we planed on doing. The reason I'm talking about this is because I have a bad habit of doing things and not realizing how they are going to affect people in my life until it is to late. That is why i memorized this verse to think about it when ever in going to do things that might not just hurt me but others around me.

The third and last one:
I have paid attention and listened, but they have not spoken rightly; no man relents of his evil, saying, ‘What have I done?’ Everyone turns to his own course, like a horse plunging headlong into battle. Jeremiah 8:6
The reason i like this verse is because when i think about all that's wrong the world i realize that yes most people, including me, know what we've done wrong but we do nothing to fix it to do better. We are people of the world and week keep doing what the world does. WRONG. what i think this verse is telling us is that its more then just saying we did wrong. Not only do we need to see what we have done wrong but we need to turn around and try to do right. 
SO if we do stop, think, turn around and go that's wrong and try to change what we have done we will not only be making our selves feel better we will be pleasing God. we should not sin even thou there are so many things that we see and do that we know is wrong. 

so when ever i feel that i'm going t say something that should really just stay in my head i think back to the three of theses verses and I start to think to myself what would God want me to say. Most often then not i don't say what i thought and everyone is better off. 

Over and out
