Speaking of presents and giving and all that good stuff, I have our song for this weekend: TobyMac's "Lose my Soul". I enjoy listening to this song, because of the message that it delivers. Living in this world, we are bombarded with so much advertising, how-to-live-your-life ideas, and many greedy behaviors. However, we must not "lose our soul" to these things. We need to be strong and follow our values! It is only when we realize that none of that matters, that we are able to be truly free.
For me, I have a God in whom I believe, and he gives me guidance and encouragement. For you, it might be something different. As long you are grateful, you are useful, and you are good, you can be an example to others. Don't lose your soul, because you want short term satisfaction. Gain life, because you have stood up for yourself.
What are your thoughts? Feel free to tell me. I'd love to hear from you! :) :) :) I hope you guys have a great weekend, and I will see you back on Monday.
Be strong, be unique, and step out of your comfort zone!
