Things I have learned Day #5

#5. I often change how I act around other people.

This is ok sometimes and for some people it is ok all the time but I hate that I do it. I caught myself doing it today with a guy at work. Although I don't often swear, I will swear more often around this certain guy (who does it ALL the time) and with other people at work I will never swear. This is just one example I am sure of how I act different around different people. I just know I want to be consistent always. The same Josh across the board. I think in most ways I am but I want to be the same Josh in all ways around everyone.

Also I don't think swearing (even on occasion) is the best way to be a godly example to a guy who really needs to see who Jesus really is. Have been convicted around this guy the last couple of weeks... just really looking at who I am and what kind of witness I am being..... so far, not so good... or so I think.

I talk to this guy enough at work that I should be able to talk about personal stuff. He says he has a church he goes to but it is clear that Jesus isn't a big part of his day to day life (he spends a lot of time getting drunk and "living it up" so to speak. I just need a way to bring up a relationship with Jesus besides... "so do you go to church?" Christianity in West Michigan is always hard...
