My, how things change

So God definitely has a sense of humor. After I wrote the previous post I did devotions with the kids and one of the things discussed was the fact that God knows all our thoughts. So it only makes sense to talk to Him about what He already knows. I knew all of this already, but I needed a refresher. I prayed about it all and just said what was on my heart. The very next day wouldn't you know that my boss starts this conversation about how people don't make these major mistakes over night, but that there is a slippery slope of choices that are made along the way. He talked about how you have to stay dedicated in the little things like a daily quiet time and prayer (he is a Christian). Then he proceeds to say that if he wasn't doing these things he would be tempted to screw up in a major way like having an affair. Well to say the least, after praying about it and having this conversation with him, I started to see things in a different light. Even though my thoughts were "innocent", it is the beginning of that slope and that slope leads to a place where I never want to go. So yes, I do need to continue to pray about these stupid annoying little things. And wouldn't you know it, my view of my boss is changing. I am seeing him still as a great guy but with that "he could be my uncle" kind of feeling. Nothing about him has changed, but God is changing my perspective. Isn't He cool! He cares about these little things and actually wants me to talk to Him about them. I am so grateful that I can go to my Heavenly Father and be as open with Him as I am on this blog, even the embarrassing stuff.
