This list of 7 ways to sabotage yourself really struck a chord with me today. I hate to admit that I may be sabotaging myself in more than one way...
Also, (just to keep things honest here) because it is Monday...and because my messy house feels out-of-control...and because I am feeling like my parenting skills are not enough to handle today's issues...and because I am about to eat a big bowl of ice cream even when I am not hungry... (Cookies and cream, in case you're interested)
Posting a nice, tidy list of 7 things seemed like a good way to feel a little control. Yes?
Now, back to the all-serious, spiritual part...
How to Sabotage Yourself:
1. Stop asking God for help.
2. Turn to food or drink for comfort.
3. Rely on yourself and human wisdom.
4. Stop living a lifestyle pleasing to God.
5. Live independently and stop having fellowship with others.
6. Refuse direction from those in authority over you.
7. Neglect your spouse and don’t make time for your children.
(Note: This list is completely plagiarized from our pastor's sermon this morning. So, since I've admitted that, I guess it's not really plagiarizing anymore, right?)
What do you think about this list?
Would you add or subtract anything?
