Wise ChoicesSample

We probably have all seen a soda explode all over the place after it has been shaken, but have you ever been guilty of losing your cool and blowing up on someone?  Losing our temper and having no self-control can hurt us in so many ways.  Whether you have lost control over your words, what you eat, or what you watch, having no self-control is a very unwise way to live.  Having self-control protects us and helps us keep relationships safe within our lives.  When have you been guilty of having no self-control?  One of the best ways to have self-control is to set up boundaries for yourself.  Just like the walls around ancient cities protected the cities, having boundaries in place will keep you safe as well.

 Challenge: Today we challenge you to identify one area where you struggle to have self-control and then put some boundaries in place to help you have control over that situation.  Be sure to tell a trusted friend about your plan and ask him or her to help you live it out.
