"I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do."
- Apostle Paul - Romans 7:15
Great verse with tons of spiritual implications to unpack.
I'm just using it for a springboard to talk about stuff I've regretted doing / not doing in recent days.
Things I should know better than to do / not do.....
1) Paint My Fingernails. I grew up a tomboy. I'm mellowing into the occasional girly-girl, so I sometimes get the impulse to do something truly girly... like paint my fingernails. Bad idea. It ALWAYS ends up looking like a 1st grader painted them. Actually, my 1st grader could probably do a better job....
2) Spend Way Too Much at Wal Mart. I'm talking both time and money here. I usually try going by myself - which means I go in the evenings when Dan is home with the kids. I always think, "I'm gonna stick to the list. Go, stay on target, and come straight home." Never happens. Wal Mart is not my ideal fun shopping store, but there is something about being alone that causes me to leisurely peruse every department in the store. Even girly aisles. (That's what got me in trouble with the above mentioned nails...)
3) Stay Up Until 2:00 am Reading a Book. I really can not do this anymore! I need sleep. But I love reading a good book in peace and quiet.... Oh the dilemma!
How about you? Any little annoying things you do/don't do that you catch yourself doing - even though you know better?!?
