Actions do speak louder than words
I guess it should be expected that when you live/speak/behave a certain way for, oh, over a quarter of a century, changing this pattern is going to come as a surprise to people who know you. Nevertheless, I'm still getting used to it when I politely decline to join my friends at bar or club (for example) and then they make this face:
"Why not??"
Then after I explain why I'm not really into that type of entertainment anymore, I get this: "Oh! So, you're serious about this God thing!"
Yeah. I am. But I guess I'll just have to let my actions be the proof. After all, talk is cheap, right?
~gg~

What you're going through reminds me of Romans 12:2a: "Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewal of your mind...."
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your transformation!

What an awesome post!!! I too am a work in progress and I'm trying to walk the walk and talk the talk. Yes, it is hard, VERY HARD! Good for you though. I just hope your friends can respect your decision and with prayer, maybe they will join you :o) Good luck on your journey! :O)
