Are your decisions guided by the HS?

So, my devotional today is about being guided by the Holy Spirit when making decisions...instead of by our own reasoning. That's hard to do!! It says that our minds reason, but the Holy Spirit discerns. I am so thankful that the Holy Spirit makes better decisions than I do!

It's difficult to be a parent these days...I worry about the sex & drugs in MIDDLE SCHOOL, school shootings, what some of these kids are wearing at such a young age, and the terrifying fact that child predators seem to be everywhere. Rather than worrying about these things too much, I just pray that God will help Matt & I (and Mike & Kim) make the best parenting decisions while trying to raise good, God-loving kids (but not shoving the Word down their throat). I pray that they are aware of their surroundings and the fact that someday they will have to make decisions that will determine the direction of their own life.

"If you are guided by the Spirit, you won't obey your selfish desires"
Galations 5:16
