Be Careful Little Eyes What You See . . .

Have you ever been doing something and felt like someone was watching you, to turn around and find no one?  Or have you ever done something thinking no one saw you and then found out someone was watching?  Both are awkward moments, right?

So often we go through our day-to-day activities not realizing what eyes may be watching us.  Perfect example, do you know how many times I had heard the word "stoked" before Ryan and Megan came?  Or the use of the word "stinkin'"?  Never!  Now I just chuckle everytime I see something posted on Facebook, receive a text or hear one of our students or the youth leaders use either of the words . . . They were words used by two respected individuals which were picked up by many.  Isn't it funny how things catch on!

Whether we know it or not, there's always eyes and ears paying attention to how we live our lives.  So how are you living yours? 

A few weeks ago we were on a little getaway with family friends.  One of the mornings, our little missy awoke and walked into the kitchen to peep out the back door at her friend "Miss Kim".  Immediately, she ran to me questionning where was her Bible.  Unfortunately, I had not brought hers - remembered mine, but not hers.  The beauty was that she saw "Miss Kim" having her morning quiet time; therefore, she wanted to emulate her.  So instead she just used mine and told us about Jacob and Noah.  How exciting! 

We have in our possession the greatest instruction book.  There are many in our community who are wanting needing an example of a godly life.  Live your life out loud the way God called you to live and be an example of Jesus' love to those who haven't yet met him.
