day 3

Day 3 was an exciting day for me. I was pumped about going to church this morning, so it was easy to reconnect my conversation with God from last night. When I go to church, to me it is the best time for myself to focus on being still, and just listen to see what God has in store for me. Digging in the bible and listening to pastor Randy is an hour of focusing on the word and learning what God has to show me in the bible and sermon.

I want to keep this short, not to bore you in all of my posts. The biggest thing from today, is the importance I saw in having a church family. We need community, and we also need to step outside of it as well. Love people, and see people as the eyes of God does. I drive around, and already on day 3, I am beginning to see God in almost everything around me. This is the world, not our home. But, its not hard to see God in the wind, the tree's, the grass, and birds. I see those things and it makes me smile now, and appreciate Gods work. What an awesome Creator. While in prayer with God and having an open sense of my surroundings, I do not worry or fear anything. He takes care of the birds, and bees. I love Bees! He takes care of you and me. What a beautiful God I serve.
Its was challenging to stay in constant prayer after church. Life goes on and traffic gets bad, and red lights seem to change just for me, as if I asked them to. I'm not sure, but I am sure of this. God is my Father, and "I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength." Phil. 4:13

Father, I ask for your forgiveness of the sins I have committed today. I repent, and truly want to rise above anything that is not of you. I pray for strength to overcome mytemptations, and especially tonight, my pride. That I may humbly come before you to serve. Mold me father, into the person I need to be here on earth. Just like Christ, use me Father. Amen

blessings,
