What a week!

Today was my first day off for the past two weeks. We had a Grand Opening at work and it was crazy long hours all thoughout last 2 weeks. Although still working a lot, it has calm down enough to be able to take a day off. I did not realized how much I really needed time for me.

I don't know about you but I love to be with people. I guess I grew up being by myself for a few years before my siblings came along almost 6 years later. I played by myself for a long time and now I can't be alone without the company of others. I don't necessarily need to be talking or even know them I just need the presence of a physical body near me. Is that weird? Every once in a while I like the quiet time for me and God but it usually does not last a long time. Is that wrong? I might sit and talk to Him and then I will sing or play some music. It is so hard to just listen at times when there is so much going around you and your head is full of things to do for the day. I was wondering if anyone outthere felt the same way. As I learn how important it is to communicate with God, I realized how little time or how low in the priority list He falls on. Why is life so busy? I almost have to schedule him in like an appointment. Am I not being a good follower of Jesus?

I love to worship, help others and sacrifice my personal time for God. Is that enough? Is that where my talents and gifts are to be used? I have so many questions for God and I feel I get a few answers and I don't know how to listen for the rest of the responses. Are we at a stage where we listen to what we want to hear?

I love what I do in my job and I love the church I attend and I love to offer my gifts for God to use. I only hope that I am really listening to Him and not my personal ego. There is so much we can do and sometimes feel limited because of time constraints. Something I learned this weekend is that Life is about loving people no matter what. Is about sharing life with everyone even if you agree to disagree. That is what makes us loving, when we can pour our hearts and still have plenty of love to share more. God is just loving us no matter what stage in life we are in, the goal is to learn how to share yours.

Wow! I thought I only had a few words. Guess God had more for me to share! Love you all!

Today

I decided to post a blog today. I figure I needed to talk to someone and since I am somewhat busy during normal hours, this would be a good way to talk to some of my friends without having to wake them up too early or too late. I decided to call my blog Loving Life. Although at times I have not felt as "loving" towards my spiritual walk I realized part of it is that I don't give God enough time for him to share with me.
