so i bought a few things at the store. At the register, the price rang up, and i was like YES not as much as i thought! So i got back to my car and read through the receipt and realized I wasn't charged for a photo album I clearly had in my bag.
Now this posed a lot of questions to me. Do I get out of my car, in the rain, to go back inside and pay for it? Or do I walk away and pretend I didn't notice?
It was a toss and turn thought-which should have been an easy answer. I finally decided to go inside and pay for it. So i went to the customer service desk and explained to the lady what happened. She kind of looked at me very strangely almost as if she thought i was crazy for doing this as she took the receipt. I told her I was a Christian and thought this was the right thing to do. She quickly replied, "Oh i would have done the same thing. Good for you." After I paid and walked away, a lot came to mind and now i ponder some more...
I'm pretty sure I did the right thing, and can sleep peacefully knowing it. But my thoughts, would that lady really do what I did in that situation?
I feel like majority of the world would shrug it off and say "her mistake" and not pay for it. Its funny how easy it is to say you would do something in that situation, but if you really were in that situation, would you really do it?
Obviously this was not a huge decision on my life. But its a huge step for me. Sometimes I feel like I struggle with this and am learning to listen to my heart, to make those right decisions. Its amazing how BADLY the devil wants me because he continuously harasses me... he tries to ruin God''s plan for me, but God in me is getting bigger.

One of the things I always tell the Bath students when I am teaching is the importance of Character. Character is who you are when no one else is looking. They are not my own words, but they always stick close to heart. What amazes me is the way that Satan always manages to tempt our character in the simplest ways, I am so encouraged by your struggle to stand firm and spread the word while doing it girl! WAHOO!
