Everything we do should be for the Glory of God

Today I was asked by my Pastor's wife if it would be alright if they added my blog to a link on our church's website.  At first I thought, "what?" but quickly answered yes.  I began to think what in the world could I say every time I blog that would interest people from the Church or anyone else for that matter.  Do they really care to see pictures of Peyton and Braden every few days?  I started blogging for an outlet.  A place to put my feelings into words and maybe later look back and see what I was feeling during certain phases of my life.  Or to look back at pictures of my family and friends and reminisce of past times.  As I was thinking about this, I remembered what our Pastor (Dwayne) spoke on today.  I won't go into complete detail, because what I am trying to say just touches on part of what he preached about.  So what I am going to concentrate on in this blog is this....Everything we do should be for the Glory of God.  Everything should point to Him!  I told Laurie (my Pastor's wife)...y'all sure about this? Ya'll know I get kinda crazy sometimes and might say something I shouldn't.  Her answer was simple...just be honest.  Anyone who knows me, knows I do not have a problem with honesty.  I am the same person at church that I am at home...and it is not always pretty.  Okay, back to the point I was trying to make...My blog is about my life.  So if my life is pointing others to Christ, I should have nothing to worry about.  But let's face it...my life does not always point others to Him.  I try, but fail miserably at times.  My hope is this...I want to write about my daily life, but most of all I want to write what God puts on my heart.  So like  Dwayne said today, if I go to the grocery store and later feel the need to blog about it...I pray that when I was shopping or checking out or passing the friendly greeter that it was "For the Glory of God."  He said that no matter what we do or where we go it should point others to Him.  Yes, that's even at Wal-Mart!  Sometimes that isn't so easy.  Especially for me, who lacks some of the fruit of self control.  Sometimes I get James 1:19 confused and instead of being quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry...I do exactly the opposite.  My prayer is this...I want to be convicted every time I am a "stumbling block".  I want to do EVERYTHING for the glory of our God.  And I am asking my friends, co-workers, family, and church family to lovingly remind me of this wonderful verse..."So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God." 1 Corinthians 10:31
