I'm a Christian, They just don't get it,

Yesterday was very interesting. I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night. I'd left my television on and there was a program on hosted by this christian couple. The Husband woke me out of his sleeping screaming God wants you to have a renewed mind, a sound heart, a pure my and a right spirit. I said an Amen in my though rolled over and went to sleep. Then he did it again , they were at the end of the program offering a book for sell on the topic. He said even if you don't buy this book go to the Good Book. God truly wants you to have......a sound mind, pure and renewed. I thought to my self okay God I'm listening. No matter what the hour he is there. Shortly later I prepared for worked got in my card and took my commute. After parking my car in the lot. I closed the door and said God lets do it again. Well God was with me all day. When I took a break to read this blog on Essence.com called
"I'm an actress they just don't get it." The young lady was speaking about her birthday and how she never thought that she would feel encouraged due to her recent job loss. But she knew that God had done it for a reason. Her true passion was to act. She began posting verses from he Bible tat gave her encouragement. She kept going and going and going. I was like cool I needed that. Not that I was discouraged but I put those verses n a pocket of mind for retrieval if needed. Later I had a song on mind "Anyway you bless me I'll be satisfied." This was so true because God made it so I didn't focus on shortcomings or tasks that I wanted to achieve but couldn't at that moment. He had my mind in a state of bliss. So much it wasn't rendered by negativity. A couple of hours before the end of my shift I began looking at a new blog on Essence.com It was a middle aged woman who had recently began taking her fellowship to another level. She talked about being scared to do things but remembered that she had to trust God. She talked about how she had stage fright something ugly and whenever she was asked to sing or speak she made herself sick. She had to realize that it was all in her head and that the task was not about he it was about glorifying God. If that was not a message I needed then I don't know what is. I had an Ah Ha moment. I know that it will not happen overnight but I will make sure to remind myself of that every time I am called for something. Well my day finished with a bang. The first lady of our church brought forth the word from God. So what do you think she talked about? A sound mind, a renewed mind and a right spirit. Hm mm where have I heard that before? I thank God for being my companion Yesterday. I pray that we have many more days a such. I don't know how I lived without him before. Later.
