Bad Decision

I feel that I can sometimes be the queen of bad decisions. I put my mind to do something, and I do it. Normally, I can over-analyze things and make a pro and con list...but for some reason, not when it comes to a bad decision. I become impulsive and "brave". Last night, I made some bad decisions. I am not confident, nor honest enough to post on here what exactly those decisions were; I will just tell you, it wasn't pretty. Due to a dumb phone call (from whom I won't mention) I decided to lash out in a way that definitely did not show Christ. I knew I was acting in a way that was just plain dumb. I am thankful for God's grace, but it's like I took total advantage of that fact. "I will totally get God's grace for this, so I'll just be dumb for one night". Yeah...not so sure that God loves that at all. I spent the morning on my way to work, confessing sin and asking for forgiveness, and I did truly mean it. I guess I write this as a reminder not only to myself, but to others, we aren't technically allowed "grace periods" as we may design them ourselves. God's grace doesn't mean we can just consciously decide to do something bad or wrong in the moment knowing that God can forgive us later. I believe that God's grace is there because we are just sinful people. If it weren't for God's grace to have His Son die for us, but then raise from the dead so we could be saved as well...where would we be?? So before you decide to make that bad decision and decide to not care that we are still Christians, remember that perhaps no one else can see you, but who wants to disappoint their Father??
