The beginning of something great

Tonight I start something really great, with someone really great. For the next 100 days, I've promised myself, that I will take part in a devotion called 100 devotions about Peer Pressure. I chose this devotion because it's short each day, and it fits into my busy schedule, but also because I think peer pressure is one of my main obstacles. I'm doing this 100 day challenge with someone I met through youth group, Tessa. She's doing a separate 100 day devotion, and each day we will share our observations, our thoughts and our wisdom.. So here goes day one.


Peer pressure 101
"Those who follow the crowd usually get lost in it." today's devotion talks about peer pressure and how instead of following gods guidance we follow our friends, or people around us, and we usually end up more lost than we started out. "we must obey God rather than men." acts 5:29
After reading todays devotion I've learned that it's not always the "cool" things that are the right things, and ive learned just because they do it, I shouldn't do it. I should dive every day to live for him, not them.

I will end today's post with a quote following my devotion:
A friend is one who makes me do my best. Oswald Chambers
