The natural Pearl is the most beautiful gemstone in the world. Created in secret and shaped by nature, it begins as an irritant, but emerges as an object of beauty. When we submit to God willingly, all the beauty that He has placed in us will emerge. I blog about my continuous journey to live as God intended, a life of freedom and joy. Learn from my mistakes and be blessed by my victories. I see myself as a Pearl, continually formed by God and emerging for His glory.

Not there after all!
So, I run into a co-worker at the store today and immediately, we start gossiping. Afterwards I realized what I had just done! How easy it is for us to slip into sin! I had what my grandmother would call "diarrhea of the mouth". Mess was coming out of it. Harmful, slanderous, mess! Phew! God convicted me on this right away! Sometimes when we think we've got it together, God shows us that we don't! None of us are perfect. No matter how long we've been following Christ. Whenever we think higher of ourselves than we ought too, God is obligated to show us that we are still imperfect beings. This was just a reminder that I will always need God to keep me out of trouble!
