Some of you may think why is a Wellness Coach writing about God so often?
Listen your Wellness has to do with you whole self. you cant just think about physical fitness and think everything will be alright. You spirituality is the core of your wellness. Mental, emotional, and physical. Think about it ..if you aren't right with God. Everything just seems wrong.
Hence today's topic: 3 Excuses for NOT Doing it GOD's Way
Lately, I decided that I am retired from dating. God has revealed certain things to me where I have decided it's best that I spend my time spreading his love and devoting more time to ministry.
The reaction I have gotten is: Why can't you do both? I love dating, you want me to give it up?! How the heck am I going to find someone if I don't date? What about that nice guy, you should jump on it girl! What about SEX?!?
I've heard just about everything in the book!
#3 Reason For Not Doing it God's Way::: Focused on the Feel Good
As a nation/ society, we love what brings us pleasure NOW. If we are able to attain it NOW, we want it NOW. The thought or idea of having to wait is repulsive. Hence all the the popular media where people sleep together within the first 3 dates of knowing each other. I like you, you like me. Let's have sex. Intimacy without commitment. I'm guilty. I have been there. But is it right....nope.
But it feels good, Coach Cass, some may say. yea it feels good, but so does heroin entering a drug addict's veins...or a double cheeseburger to a food addict. Just because it feels good doesn't mean that its good.
#2 Reason For Not Doing it God's Way::: Like My Way Better
Some think they have found the answers. Skewing God's Word to say its ok. I've got a handle on things, make good money, I'm not hurting anyone...so it's all good. I'm having fun.
Your way or the highway?? I dont even have to say...If you take a like time each day 5minutes..to open and read God's Word, you WILL feel convicted. Its not even a question.
In interviewing over 50 men, I have found that the majority say "If we aren't in a committed relationship, I am not committed to anyone. Therefore, its okay to sleep with someone else...in other words its cool to have sex with other people and you. And spend time intimately with others and you." Hahaha cake and eat it too!
Don't get me wrong there are ladies that feel the same. The point is: Like My Way better. They would rather live like their way.
#1 Excuse for Not doing it God's Way: It's too Hard
Since I have shared my views on dating, and my decision. People have looked at me crazy! "That's way too hard Casandra!" I could never do that.
I'm choosing to turn my focus to God. As society we focus on what feels good, what we want....what about God? Where does He fit in? Does He fit in where He is supposed to...or where you place Him.
As I reflect on my life, I see the happiest times are when i truly did all I could to live in line with God's will. And I personally am convicted about certain things as I read through the Bible. So guess what,I'm changing. It all begins with a decision!
What do you decide?
Thanks for reading.
Much love and Many Blessings,
Coach Cass
Would love to hear from you, tell me what are other excuses for not doing it God's Way?
