Reality check!!!
As this is a journey based on a God seeking lifestyle I firmly believe that this year isn't just a year', but part of an intergril season. A season in our lives where our attitudes are moulded, characters shaped and actions initiated according to God's will for each individual. So where does that leave me?
SAME SUZI... BUT DIFFERENT :) But what God did reveal to me and what I would like to share is that of Romans 13...
My choices (as God gives me free will) may not always lead to or be sinful- but they do alter according to the authority I am under.. So although next year I may again where my cute vests or cook my seafood in a decent Chardonnay, this season, under Gods appointed authority (vs 1), I shall not... Does that make me a hypocrite? Of course not! !! It makes me obedient!
My message: Although seemingly disappointing, rules are NOT meant to be broken, so abide to them in each situation... In all you do, do it as you would in full daylight in front of everyone for "the night is gone, the day is at hand. So let us cast off off works of darkness and put on the armour of light!"(vs 13)
