Leaving things behind

Sometimes you got to move forward. Get ride of stuff you wanted to give up for a long time. Here is something that hit me this week in a devotional that I read.

However, when those primal desires, as good as they were created to be, begin to woo us away from God, separate us from others, or distance us from God's best intentions for us, then soul death soon awaits us (Genesis 2:17).

For me this has hit me in the area of friends. Why do I have friends and why do I hang out with the people I do? I have decided that I will hang around with people who I am not afraid to make a complete fool of myself. I have always had the desire to hang around with cool people, groups that I feel I have to keep fighting to stay in, but now I have decided that I don't really care and I'm going to ignore that urge.
