So, most of my friends that know me, know that I have a way with words. I talk too much. I have learned how to tone it down over the years but I still slip up everyone once an a while. And usually it is me trying to be funny and in front of non-believers. There is this verse:
"If you keep your mouth shut, you will stay out of trouble."
Proverbs 21:23
The reason I titled this blog entry "You got a mouth, shut it" is because of my grandma(Nana). I get my quick wit and personality from a combination of family members, but mainly from her. She always told me to be aggressive, go for what I want and don't be a pushover(in a good way). She would always tell me: You got a mouth, use it. Like if I wanted to talk to someone about something, she would always encourage me and tell me that it doesn't hurt to ask and God gave you a mouth for a reason. Well that is a double edge sword!
But I try to watch myself. I just need to channel all that energy into soemthing positive for the Lord, like being warm, friendly and welcoming to the visitors at our church ministry.
