Not-So Beautiful Letdown

Okay.. So, to keep this short, I let a friend down this weekend. To save you from a page of details, just know that I made a bad call and it ended with me putting doubt of my abilities at work into a friend (who's also my boss). I know he has less trust in me now because of it. Just goes to show you that I can make stupid decisions.. I'm not writing this to get pity or anything like that from anyone who decides to read this. I'm writing this to give evidence to the fact that even the striving Christian can still make dumb decisions. I guess it happens to the best of 'em. That's what "sin nature" is, right? It is important though not to succumb to the idea that "God forgives me anyway" and just give in. But on the flip side it's comforting to know that we can come before God after we give up our sin and because of Christ's propitiation on our behalf, God will see us as Holy.
