There Has to Be More to Life!

Dear readers, let me just say I was spared today of my regular family alarm but this did occur last night before I tried to get to sleep. It was horrible. I was silent yet again wondering why the Youtube page was taking so long to load. Once the audio Bible on the web was playing, I couldn't help but say oh how sweet the sound! Yesterday was a day full of breakthroughs as I sought the Lord with all diligence and passion. I was reading the Bible, and other teaching materials and also praying with my sister for our husbands careers and so on. God revealed so much about the wrong mindsets I carried, the wrong behavior and attitudes of the heart that I had and never knew, and how life ought to be with when I live for Him wholeheartedly.

Allow me to be more specific as far as my memory recalls. For instance, I learned that morning that I have to quit thinking negative thoughts and whenever doubts arise I must delete them and re-program the way I ought to think. Then in entering the presence of God my sister and I were convicted of not living up to God's standards in the guys department. Even though we had many regrets in the past, that doesn't mean we should continue to live in the same mindset in the same way. We are to live according to God's principles no matter what. These convictions are not the same for everybody but as one pastor at my church said, living according to one's convictions through His Spirit is success so I decided right then and there to obey. Then I learned a whole series of lessons I was doing wrong, and how I needed to improve my skill set and manage my time better. I even learned that the world's system is not always the best. Being a mother requires intimate time with children so I too decided never to place children in the daycare and working twenty hours a week and making an amazing income sounds better to me than working all day everyday for a slice of that same income and having no life or balance whatsoever. There's more but I would challenge you to seek God out and He will definitely reveal things to you that is specific to your life!
