Last night I was talking to my hubby about music. We're so passionate about it that we sometimes end up competing in who is right or wrong. The topic about different artist came up and I was quickly to point out how "diabolical" some are. This is always a topic that goes on for hours. It goes from diabolical, to Illuminati, to deranged. Then my husband said something that impacted me; "You talk about Rhianna being diabolical, but you sing that stupid song! And If it comes from inside, then you're feeling the same thing she is, which is diabolical. So that would make you diabolical." Although we where both cracking up and just playing around, its something that stuck to me. Now, the stupid song he's referring to is "What's My Name". My son Alejandro came home from school one day singing, Ohh Na Na Whats My Name! And ever since then its been crazy stuck in my head (talk about subliminal!). Even though I wasn't intentionally jamming to the song with him, I would sing along. Anything that will keep Alejandro happy is a MUST! But I didn't realize that by singing her song I was contradicting what I was preaching. Thus, as my husband said, the same as I claimed Rhianna to be, diabolical. The good thing is it wasn't intentional wrong doing, so it didn't come from within. But what if it did? What if I just went around doing the same exact thing I said (or preached) not to do? I wasn't really keeping my word, infact I was showing my family that it was okay to do. After I had said that it wasn't.
Sometimes as Moms and as Christians, we have to remember to do as we say (or preach) and not as others do. Otherwise we would just be following the current. The bible says plainly in James 4:4 that friendship with worldly things is enmity with God. So we have to set our boundaries to what we accept into our lives.
