Day 84 & 85: Hello November!

So this month will be a great month, I know it. First of all we all choose how our mood will be each day, no matter what our circumstances scream at us. Reactions is all it boils down to. November is full of opportunity to give of ourselves, and step slowly away from it's all about me right now. It is so easy to get caught up in what we feel, think, know, realize, want, dream, have, all that stuff is hard to ignore when there is so much going on. We all have something to give out time to, work, school, husbands, wifes, children, moms, dads, family, people we work with, and then we have to take into consideration God. He is still yearning for out attention despite our crazy lifes. It is our choice to what we devote our time to, choose him. During the day spend a few minutes just reflecting on what he has given to us. What he has promised. What he knows. What he has already done. Wow it might take longer than a few minutes, but the time is not the issue here, it is the motive, the behing the scenes attempt that we make at striving towards a God that loves us. We are all trying so hard to please others, I do it probably every day. Just wanting people to notice you, ya it's kind of ridiculous, but I admit that it is a waste of time. I will never get enough praise from people, but I know where I can get my encouragement. God has alot to say to me everyday, what if I miss something! So I will give of myself, in my busy day to listen to his voice. Maybe he will lead me to bless someone else today, but I never want to be in a place that I am so selfish I cannot help but see my own stuff, I want to see others the way God sees them, desperate for Him. Today let your heart be broken before God, give him those unnecessary things that are just extra weight you do not need. He said cast your cares on Him!
