Michelle Idol and why I almost cried today

i·dol n.
1. An image used as an object of worship.
2. A false god.
3. One that is adored, often blindly or excessively.

Who/what's your idol? Some questions that might tell you what your idol is...
Time - what or who are you spending the most time with?
Talk - what's the thing you talk about the most?
Thoughts - what do you spend the most time thinking about, or what do you rever to thinking about in your spare time?
Treasure - what do you spend the most money on?

We need to hold things with an open hand, and not cling to our idols with tight fists. I evaluated today, and there are so many things that are idols in my life...people, relationships. So many things that I prioritize over God. So many things that I need to loosen my grip on...

Those who cling to worthless idols
forfeit the grace that could be theirs.
- Jonah 2:8

As to why I almost cried today...you can ask me for more details, but I guess it was seeing my blessings in a new, fresh light.
