(yes, i meant for my title to mimic mandy) (and how good was that alliteration??)
I just did something I knew was the right thing to do. But even though I knew it was the right thing , I didn't want to do it. Honestly, how big of a surprise is this? How often is the right thing the same as the easy thing? Almost never. And although I would love to say that I always do the right thing, regardless of how easy or hard it is... I can't. However, this time I very clearly knew. I knew I would feel guilty if I didn't. I knew I needed to do it. I knew I didn't have a choice. I even sat here for ten minutes trying to justify not doing it. Trying to grasp at any little thing that would make the alternative (the thing I wanted to do) okay. But I knew it wasn't okay. I knew what I needed to do.
And I did it.
And I feel amazing.
Thank you, Lord, for reminding me again why we should listen to You.

The "right" thing is usually hard..but that's how Christians stand out from the rest of the world..making choices that seem ridiculous/different/against the grain. Keep shining that Light!!
