So some really cool stuff has happened over the last few weeks! I am now off on Saturdays!! I am so super excited about that! This will be the first time in like 8 years that I will actually have Saturdays off without having to ask for them. I actually have never not worked Saturdays since I started working. I really didn't mind working Saturdays but now I am free to travel, which is something I love, love, love to do!! You will see more pictures and fun things in the future!
On another note I have been trying to write a research paper on Isaiah and finish this semester out strong. I however have absolutely no motivation! None! A few weeks ago during my Holy Spirit class (This is a class my church has been doing to help us learn how to live life to the fullest) the teacher (who happens to be the pastor) was talking about how we have to be the ones willing to listen for God's voice. He also said something along the lines of how will we chose to spend our lives? Will it be doing other things or will we seek God? Will we sit in front of the television or whatever our "idol" may be instead of choosing to spend time with God? This really woke me up and made me realize that I don't need to be doing this school thing right now. I had been feeling like it consumes my life and I am not able to spend time with Him. After that class I really prayed about it and I felt like I should not be doing school at this time. I may go back in the future but not anytime soon. I really want to focus on reading His Word. I also have several books by Christian authors I have been wanting to read but I haven't had anytime to do that because I am busy reading a textbook. I have learned a lot during my very short time and I don't regret it but now is not the time for this.
I am so thankful I got to take the Holy Spirit class and I have learned so, so very much. I am sad it is over actually. I am really going to focus on developing my listening skills over the next few months so I can learn how to hear clearly from the Lord. My biggest thing is actually sitting down and just being still so I can actually hear. I would encourage you to check out some of the messages from Gateway Church on the Holy Spirit. They are so good and he puts it in a way that is very easy to understand. Hear is the link to one of the sermons by Robert Morris. This is actually the one we listened to last night. So good!! You can scroll on the right and listen to more sermons by him. http://gatewaypeople.com/sermons/144877
