I forgot my reasons

So just recently I had put up a post that said, I am quitting pool ball. Well I take it back. Haha, but let me tell you why I take it back. Sure there are a lot of wrong things that could happen to me in pool ball, however, I feel like I should also say, that the reason why I got into pool ball in the first place is because I wanted to do something holy. I wanted to do something Christian. I cannot explain to you what I wanted to do because it is private and personal, however, if you knew, then you would agree that playing pool would be an excellent thing for me. Just know that whenever I’m playing pool, it’s because I have God on my mind.

            I’m not trying to justify doing something bad with something good. I feel like there is nothing wrong with playing pool ball in and of itself, it’s just the things that are associated with pool ball is bad. Gambling, alcohol, cigarettes, drugs, bars, none of those things are good and I would prefer to be caught dead than to be caught with a cigarette in my mouth, but I figure that with anything that you do, you could get distracted away from God. Guitar as innocent as it is, distracted me from God. Work has distracted me from God and I need that. Sleep has distracted me from God and I need that. You pick whatever, and it can be bad, So I decided to not work in vain, but rather, I work as if though I’m working towards the lord. I work hard at my pool ball and I aim to glorify God with my time there.

            If the Good Lord allows me to become something good at pool ball, it will be because of him. I do not want to drink, I do not want to smoke, I do not want to curse, I don’t want to be a part of the world.

My obsession

            Pool ball wouldn’t be the first thing that I’ve gotten obsessed over, however, I have learned that you need to control these types of things. It’s a matter of discipline. I don’t control myself like I should, but I am learning. I have learned from experience to take care of myself as well as my things that I like to do. I cannot just focus on one thing and ignore the rest of my responsibilities. I am proud of myself for today. I played pool ball for 5 hours and said that is enough, so I went home and I started to work on cleaning my room and washing my clothes. I am also writing in this blog, writing in my company’s blog and to be honest with you, I could’ve went to the gym today as well (The laziness got to me). But I am not letting this control my life anymore. I am not letting anything besides God control my life. I pray that God will take away anything that separates me from him. I hope that I do not put pool ball in front of God in my life. I hope that I don’t put pool ball in front of my family or church or work or my blog or my songwriting.
