Temptation.

Hello! This is my first blog post and my first real blog. And hopefully I can keep up with it.

 Today in church I got the idea for this blog. Our messages was on giving. But I got the idea for my first blog post to be on temptation. And here it is.

What do you think about when you see the word TEMPTATION?

 Does it scare you? Or make you excited? Now, if you say it makes you excited. Please leave. Because you aren’t human in the slightest bit.

 Some about me –

My name is Emily and I am in college. This is my first year and I love it!

 What does that have to do with this blog post; well…. Life is hard. I am trying to figure out what I want to do with my life and when I was younger I was addicted to something pretty bad. And I am over it but the temptation Is still there. It isn’t easy.

 Temptation is everywhere. And it is very hard. But how to avoid it.

1.       PRAYING! Yes, the Bible answer. But it is true. On the mornings on the way to work or school I pray. And God helps me when the temptation comes.

2.       Keep busy! (there will be a whole blog about this) if you are busy. When you are tempted there will be no time to do it.

3.       Stay with friends. My friends are my life! When the temptation comes I can go to one of them. I have two very close girl friends and one guy. Now, admittedly it is easier to go my girl friends because… well. I am also a girl. But my guy friend is there to make me laugh and just to talk too.

4.       Tell somebody! Have that one person you can go to and say “Hey, it’s happening” and let them help you through it. I have two people. My best friend of ten years and my youth pastors wife.

  It is AWESOME to know you aren’t alone! And you aren’t! I will be making an e-mail for this and you can e-mail me if you have questions or just need help with something. But it is better to have someone you can speak face to face with.

 And you aren’t alone! Jesus was even tempted ((((((BIBLE VERSE>>>)))))

Say no, hang with good friends! And have that one AWESOME Christian friend you can go to when you are tempted. And pray

I love you all and hope to be able to keep up with this!
