Life can be difficult
But I trust God.
He’s bigger than I.
Smarter than I.
And has a plan.

RSSTherefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.
- Philippians 2:1-4

Excited About Church
I’ll be honest that there were quite a few times in the past few months that I woke up not excited for church. Or anything else that would interrupt my precious sleep. Definitely not proud of that type of attitude.
But today I woke up excited for church :)
Earnestly seeking God, and prayerfully asking for a change of heart has transformed my thinking. And has given me so much peace and joy. I’m so grateful for the things God reminded me of this morning.
1) There is no way to live purposely apart from God
2) Chasing after the world’s view of happiness will never satisfy
3) Selfless living and loving is the ultimate way to imitate Jesus
Pretty cool because theses are truths God’s been pointing out to me in my own life. Awesome to hear them reiterated and expanded on even more so today :)

Another thing that really blessed me was something my Pastor shared about his own life. He talked about a time where he had everything that should constitute to a fulfilling life. Financially well-off, luxurious home, a family, healthy and successful in all that he set out to do. But he still felt empty. He shared that once God entered his life his emptiness was filled. And now, even with cancer, his life now is significantly better than it was then. The peace he has about his cancer is so inspiring.
Powerful stuff.

This straw is incredible. Drinking water through this straw is an instant filtration device and provides a year supply of clean water to one person for $10. TEN DOLLARS.
It makes me feel so selfish that I spend ten dollars on ONE meal. Or a shirt. Or basically anything.

Change of Heart
Today I read some more Proverbs. Good Great stuff.
I pondered spending the night eating fast food and watching Netflix, but God was definitely tugging on my heart tonight.
I know that if I would’ve went with my first option I would’ve drifted off to sleep with my head filled with nothing but mindless television.
Instead His words completely sunk into my heart and I was able to absorb such great richness. I felt peace about my uncertain future and excited about the plans God has for my life. I was renewed with a confidence and completeness. I felt moved to give. To be selfless with my time/money/resources.
Within the last few months I’ve had it on my heart to give to a few different causes/non-profits. But then I’d worry about financial things and decide I was better off “saving my money.” Today God moved me to give and not worry. Because He’ll provide. :)
Replacing selfless ways of spending my time with God time is always the best decision ever. It’s ridiculous how often I am deceived of that truth.
I am full. Blessed. And God is great :D
