Our Daily Choices Affect Our Lives

Romans 6:16- "Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?"
Principle- Whom we choose to obey whether Christ or Satan is whose servant we become. We can choose spiritual death through Satan or spiritual life by becoming obedient and righteous through Christ. 
We have the power to become what we wish to be. We choose our daily actions and steps that lead us towards our goals or away from our goals. If we want to become like Christ we must try to do what He taught. Taking time each day to study and meditate in/on the scriptures and praying to God for His guidance and comfort is imperative. In my New Testament class, my semester project is becoming patient through doing God's will. I am looking for ways where I can learn and grow. One of these areas is having patience with myself and with others. The last few months have been very trying. I went to my retina specialist a few months ago and it finally hit me that I have an autoimmune disease/disorder of the eyes. I would have to deal with this the rest of my life. There will be times when my floaters will flair up and other times when my floaters are inactive. Around the same time, I was having severe stomach aches. Food was making me sick and I wanted to stop eating. The Spirit confirmed to me that I needed to take gluten out of my diet. I am now gluten-free, and I feel wonderful. This has been a big change for me. I love to bake and make bread. I am still trying to perfect a gluten-free yeast bread. I have not been successful with this yet. I don't like the taste. Just as I have to be careful with the foods I consume on a daily basis, I need to be careful with how I spend my time each day. What forms of media, music, books am I watching, reading, or listening to? Does this material make me feel good towards myself or towards others? One of my goals this summer was to not be a bum and waste my time. In the summers I have time off from my job, so I go from being extremely busy to being a little busy. I do not do well when I am idle. Being in a New Testament class this summer was a wise decision, so I don't waste my whole time on things that don't matter.
