International Harvester

First of all the song " International Harvester" is one of the best songs to listen to when you are driving down Michigan roads. hahaha. Today me and my two best buds went Christmas shopping down at the mall. Went to a new mall which was great except for the fact that it was so cold out. Today I was thinking about how we can fall so far off track in life, we can be going and doing so good with what we have and where we are wanting to go. Then all of a sudden its like we take that detour on the road that says, "Diversion from God here" and we take it. Maybe there will be a gas station on the detour where we can fill up on the things we want. Or maybe we just want to stop and take a power nap so we can make sure we have eough time to make sure God knows what he is doing in our life; it's not like He does or anything right? So why then do we take this road to question God and indulge in our sin? Maybe its just natural for us to want to seperate from God, maybe its not. I do think that its probably natural for all of us to do this but I dont think it show be something we just say, "ugh oh well." No I think we must try to work harder at this relationship with God. We need to learn how to say no I am not going to look at that or drink that or go with those people right now. We need to learn how to defeat the temptation of seperating God's will for us from us.
