I feel like I learned so much over break. For the first time in a long time I feel so content with who I am and where I am at in my life. I no longer feel like I need to have every detail of my life planned and I feel so free in that. All I need to know is that He is mine and I am His.
Craziness… March 6, 2008
This week has been so crazy as far as school. Today I had a presentation worth 30% of my grade in my econ class and a paper for my presidency class. And then there is a lovely test tomorrow in public relations. But I have survived so far 
My presentation went amazing and I am so happy it is done! The paper…well we shall see what will happen with that. I’m not so sure I actually wrote about what I was supposed to but oh well. Remember my econ test from last week? I got a 100! And my Public Administration test? A 93! Praise God! Now if I can just make it through tomorrow I will be a happy camper! Spring Break 08 here I come!!!! I am staying in Orlando tomorrow night and then early Saturday morning it is off to Charlotte, NC via the Orlando Airport! I cannot wait to just relax and let loose
the grey areas… March 2, 2008
I found this today and was quite convicted. I don’t think that I always consider these when I make choices or decisions. What would it be like if I truly considered all of these ? How much more would people see Christ in my decisions and actions?
- Could it make another Christian stumble? (Romans 14:21; 1 Cor. 8:1-13)
- Are you in doubt about it? (Romans 14: 22-23)
- Is it profitable? (1 Cor. 6:12; 10:23)
- Can you be mastered by it? (1 Cor. 6:12)
- Will it bring glory to God? (1 Cor. 6:20; 10:31)
- Could it cause any hindrance to the gospel of Christ? (1 Cor. 9:12)
- Does it edify? (1 Cor. 10:23)
- Will it benefit your neighbor? (1 Cor. 10:24)
- Could it offend unbelievers, jeopardizing efforts to win them to Christ? (1 Cor. 10:24)
- Could it offend believers? (1 Cor. 10:23, 33)
- Could it give cause for offense, thereby discrediting the ministry of the gospel? (2 Cor. 6:3)
- Does it demonstrate you to be a servant of God? (2 Cor. 6:4)
- Does it demonstrate you to be separate from the world? (2 Cor. 6:17)
- Is it behavior worth modeling? (2 Thess. 3:7-9)
- Is it an example worth setting? (2 Thess. 3:7-9)
- Does it demonstrate you to be above reproach? (1 Tim. 3:2)
- Is it consistent with God’s whole character? (1 Peter 1:15-16)
In considering any “grey area” decision, these principles must be taken into account and weighed against or in accordance with what we perceive as God’s guidance. We are each responsible for our decisions and should be ready to make good accounting for them (1 Peter 3:15).
