But doing and saying the right thing, being totally integrous is what we are called to do—thanks for reminding us of that! We so often think of integrity in the major aspects of life, but telling a tall story is something we can all relate to! Stopping by from #TellHisStory Blessings to you!

I am the geeky one whom God gave a sense of humor to but wasn't so sure it was a good thing and would try too hard in a crowd, thereby regretting later on that I had over dramatized situations merely so I could feel as if I had something of use to say or make one laugh. I think whatever the good is , the enemy always wants to twist it. If I can only let Him lead and as you said know I am enough without embellishing it. And also learning how to give grace to myself instead, helps to prevent stunted growth. When I am too hard on myself it actually has an adverse reaction...<br /><br />Thanks for your openness today~ Your neighbor @ #CoffeeandJesusMeg Weyerbacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07138890324047342747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7955556559266514067.post-52326472679621277302016-09-07T15:03:59.683-05:002016-09-07T15:03:59.683-05:00The things that we do, the things that happen when...The things that we do, the things that happen when we lose sight of who we are in our Father is crazy isn't it!! My telling sign that I have lost sight of who I am in Him is that I become SO negative! I mean, the worst haha It takes me a couple days and then I realize I'm making everyone around me miserable too. That's when I'm like "Wait a minute, I need to refresh myself in His promises!"

I have trouble with the...Integrity is a good thing. I have trouble with the "good lie" vs. "bad lie" question. For example! When my husband went to rehab and I moved to a new town, people would ask if I was married. I would say yes. They asked where my husband was, I would say he was waiting on immigration papers (true- I moved home to Canada from the USA where we were living). At this point, I would try to get out of the conversation because the truth was, I moved because he went to rehab for a year. Then they would ask the dreaded, "Does he come up here to see you often?". Obviously, I could get through the conversation saying very little and not telling much but I WANTED to be honest. Lying sucks. Even when it was "a good lie". I told someone the truth once to see how that would go and you should of seen their face! Hahaha My point of the story is, sometimes people prefer to hear the lie. Lying is a people-pleasing action.

We've had to discuss with her the importance of our word. It IS more important than the entertainment factor. Tracihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11481102117691199835noreply@blogger.com
