The Ordinary Business of Being Human

I have come to the computer with no clear idea of what to write, other than to tell you that I have had scripture confirmation that the "financial famine" is over.  The Holy Spirit gave me Romans 8:1 on July 1.  It spoke directly to that place in my heart.

I have just come from the COLD exercise room where I finished reading Reflections from A Life God Rewards by Bruce Wilkinson.  I am going to have to read that small book again.  Right now I can't even wrap my mind around all that I need to learn from it - my actions, tithing, work, etc.  As I sat there I thought about the Bible Study.  Would that be something He would reward?  Just my life?  Would that be something he would reward?  I thought of my desire for a house.  I thought of some of my wants in a new home - meeting room space, room for children to play, a big kitchen and dining area for potluck meals, enough bedrooms for all my children (3), a big tub for soaking in, a guest room, a recording studio and lots of garage space, even a pool in which to baptist.  Some desires are for personal needs, and others are tools we believe we are to use to serve the "Soon Coming King."  

In my devotional time this morning, I read in Jesus Calling by Sarah Young to practice praising and thanking Jesus continually through out today.  I had many opportunities.  Some I took advantage of  while others I just plain missed and sunk into a pity party.  Even the paragraph above shows how quickly my mind can go from God to myself.

This life is not an easy one.  Wilkerson says in the conclusion of his book that "Every day is a new opportunity to discover what eternal business might be lurking in the ordinary business of being human."  I hope I do a better job tomorrow.
