Week 1: Day 3 Media

Well, since my internet at my apartment is REALLY bad I decided to just post here at my parents.  Don't worry, I still have been doing my Walk with Christ and it is becoming more and more powerful!  Today it hit me how media has such a strong influence in my life.  So, I have been listening to Christmas music for a while now and I LOVE IT!!!  Just ask my family, I am Filipino when it comes to Christmas.  As long as there is a 'ber' at the end of the month, I will listen to Christmas music.  You know, SeptemBER, OctoBER, NovemBER and DecemBER.  Well, as I switched my radio around I found that some of the music I have previously listened to is not the best suited to live a life to walk with Christ.  It was then that I began to feel what a peace comes to my life when I listend to wholesome and uplifting things.  I just bought Josh Groban's new CD and it is FAB!  I have been listening to that a lot, along with the Christmas music.

Interesting enough that night I had a little bit of a 'run in' with a movie, if you can call it that.  Ha! Ha!  I have to say that music and movies are the media that really affect me most.  Well, my roommates wanted to watch a movie and I wasn't sure about it.  I sat down and quickly realized it was not the kind of movie I wanted to watch...and so I fell asleep.  Typically I fall asleep during a movie because I am legitimately tired...not so much this time. As I thought about what I did I questioned why I didn't just walk out and take myself out of the situation all together.  Well, that is one way I can become better.

I know that as I stand up for the things that I know are right and true my walk with Christ will be that much more successful.  I know that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the true gospel on this earth.  As we strive each day to come to Christ He will show us the way.
