scary things

       You know those things you know that you should not do, and yet you keep doing them?? Well, one of my biggest "shouldn't do's" is watch scary/suspenseful shows and movies.  God has designed me to be a very imaginative woman, I think in stories, scenarios and pictures, and so scary and suspenseful things do not work well with my personality. 


      I am currently in bed wishing I did not watch Castle. A GREAT show, but its kinda suspenseful and scary. Psalm 101:3  states : I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me... AKA Do not put any bad thing in front of you so that you will not have that image hinder and follow you. And I find that the thoughts follow me in my dreams, then I wake up exhausted, scared and needing someone I love to sit with me and rub my back until I go back to sleep again. That verse has SO much meaning and purpose in it. 

     Right now, I wish I had not watched Castle, BUT I take comfort in Psalm 27:1 " The LORD is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of whom shall I be afraid?"

Thank you Lord for loving me so much and protecting me in the darkness.
