Don't give place for something bad to happen

That's something I think we all got to work on. This is not just for Christians, I think it's for all of us. The Bible talks about not giving place to the devil. We sometimes leave ourselves wide open for something bad to happen. We flirt with temptation. A person trying to quit smoking should not keep the temptation of cigarettes in reach. That's flirting with temptation. A person trying to get delivered from a perverted spirit, should not search videos or TV shows that will trigger something. Notice I said search, because I'm willing to bet that those movies, videos, or whatever are going to show up out the blue. When that happens, it's on you to change the channel or do what you have to do, but if you continue to watch them, you're flirting with temptation. Let's say you're a Christian couple, and both of you believe that sex before marriage is wrong. You shouldn't put yourselves in a predicament that would cause something sexual to happen. You shouldn't do certain things thinking, "I'm strong enough or I know better not to let anything crazy happen." I know people that's thought that and nine months later the baby is crying begging for milk. All in all, I'm saying don't flirt with temptation because it will show you that you're not as strong as you think you are. Trust me on that.

So what's up y'all? Another week another blog. I did a podcast the other day for the first time since the election. I posted the link in a blog entry before this one, so after reading this. Go to the link and check out the podcast if you haven't already. For those who don't know I've been sick for the past days. I guess when my mom left for her field assignment she felt that she would leave her sickness with me. I'm feeling better now though. I can actually breathe a little bit and talk normal. Because of the sickness I couldn't go to choir rehearsal last week, and for me that sucked. I love music. I love singing, and when I get the chance, I love to play the drums. Most of y'all know that. So missing a rehearsal was hard. Hopefully this week I can get back on track.

For the record, my mom is not in Chicago. Some of you know that she went to Illinois, and immediately people started thinking she was in Chicago. She's actually 4 hours away from Chicago, and about 30 minutes from St. Louis. Just for the record.

So anyway, I haven't really been up to anything besides being sick. Went to a good Christmas banquet for church. The members found out how much I can talk. For all of you that think I'm quiet, um, not no mores. My sister claims I talk more than her, but I don't know how that's possible. FYI, be on the lookout. My youtube channel, http://www.youtube.com/danielakabigd, could be used to promote a local gospel rap group. Which means that I'll actually post videos that will get views. I haven't got details on that, but I'm just sayin.

That's all I got for this week good people. Subscribe if you haven't. Comment and share your thoughts, specifically on the first paragraph. Stay saved.
