&it all started with a forbidden fruit.

I assume all five of you that are reading my blog are aware of the story of Adam and eve. If not, I will summarize. They were in the garden of eden, and long story short eve was tempted to take a forbidden fruit, and she had Adam eat it, and then they got kicked out of the garden of Eden. Okay story time is over! But what I what I wanted everyone to get out of that story was temptations. Temptations and sins. It's our human nature to sin, and naturally we have all been tempted at some point in our life to sin. It is actually said in the bible in the book of mathew that Jesus said if you have a sinful arm, then you should chop that arm off because it would be better to go through life without and arm then go through life with an arm that will cause you to sin. Now I know that is really drastic. But I believe what He is saying is to not be tempted by sin. To walk away from sinning when you get a chance. We all have temptations, temptations to cheat, to lie, to dishonor our parents, and that's only to name a few. But what if we ignored the temptation? What if we got rid of the negativity in our life? Now I know it harder than it sounds, but I believe we could all do it.
From now on I will leave on the first sight of temptation or negativity. I won't put up with it. I will follow in God's path and live every day for Him. Like it should be. (:
