choose wise role models :]

hey y'all!
sorry i didnt write yesterday! but anyway, today was good! i went to the church picnic, it was extremely hot, but it was fun. i watched mitchell play softball and showed megan dance moves, haha. and now i've been singin haha, i lovee to sing :] church in the mornin! cant wait to hear what Pastor Chad's gunna preach about.
so my devotion was on choosing wise role models. the bible says in Proverbs 1:5, "let the wise listen and add to their learning, and let the discerning get guidance" we should choose role models whos faith in God is strong. when we emulate godly people, we become more of a godly person ourselves. we need to admire people who can make us better people and Christians. Marie T. Freeman said, "It takes a wise person to give good advice, but an even wise person to take it" and i really like that. if we need advice we need to talk to someone who knows the bible and about God :]
and my other devotion was on being too busy to God. and thats a question we need to ask ourselves, are we too busy for God?? Deuteronomy 6:12 says, "be careful that you do not forget the Lord..." do we value our elationship with God enough to spend a few minutes a day with Him?? he deserves atleast that much of our time, and much more. we dont need to try to just give God left over time, we need to spend time with him everyday, he deserves it, he is after all, our Creator. God needs to be our first priority. St. Augustine said, "Christ is not vauled at all unless he his valued above all" and we really need to vaule God above everything.
i love y'all!
God Bless!
