  God is so amazing! If you seek Him, if you listen, He will be there and provide. I needed something to get me out of my mood I was in the past few days...and alas, there it is. Church was really good last night. One small portion of the sermon just spoke out loud and clear in regards to how I've been feeling. I just felt messed up this past week and was unclear to exactly why. The sermon was on accepting responsibility and the part that hit home was the part about Choosing my Attitudes. "Be made new in the attitude of your minds. " (Ephesians 4:23). I was so caught up in emotions that I forgot to keep my attitude in check and it brought me down. My last post said I felt I was the glass half-empty type this week, but Jesus helps me be the glass half-full type...optimistic and positive throughout any circumstances. "I can do everything with the help of Christ who gives me the strength I need. " (Philippians 4:13). I just needed to hear that stuff again and be reminded that I can do all things through Him. That portion of the sermon also talked about Thankfulness...and praising God no matter what the circumstance.
I do that and continue to try to do that even though my life has had some bad circumstances lately. It helps me to see the good in my life when surrounded by the bad. There is always lots to praise God for if you just seek it. When I praise God continually, I see Him working in my life...again, He is so amazing. When I left church, my spirits were so lifted...it didn't take much...it just took the help of God and my ability to open up to Him.
He's always there, just sometimes I get caught up in my own world and don't turn to Him. The ride home (or actually to Jerime's) was awesome because I felt a load had been lifted that had been weighing me down all week. I don't know how I lived my life before I found Jesus...lost, I guess...because life is so much easier to bear with my Lord always by my side. God bless!
