Got character?

1st wed. was A-mazing! God really spoke to me tonight through Pastor Troy. I am and have always been the type of person who thinks it's my job to right all the wrongs in this world. I was the kid who made sure everything was fair at recess! I see this behavior in Cameron already. It's not necessarily a bad thing. It's just a more challenging lot in life. I struggle with boundaries on personal conviction and a desire to stand up for those who can't or won't stand up for themselves. Today I pulled the car into the drive way and I as soon as I parked Cameron jumped out and ran two houses over to pick up a piece of dirty trash out of the neighbors yard. As soon as he came back I started to scold him. I said "Cameron, don't pick up other people's dirty trash that's nasty. You will get your hands dirty" He looked up at me and said very matter of fact, "how else are we going to save the earth?" He is his mother's child. Tonight Troy said there is only one vision and there is only one leader, but the people who hold up the vision and the leader must have strong loyalty, strong character, and strong integrity. We have to protect the integrity of the church and the vision. I prayed for Cameron and I on our way to school today and I said,"God help us to have good character today, Amen". Cameron said "carrot juice? why do we have to have good carrot juice?" lol So I explained that good character is doing the right thing even when no one is looking. I know that my God is a just, Holy, and righteous God. He sees us all completely naked!
