Refocusing on God

I have decided to start blogging again. This blog keeps me connected with God. I feel like when I write I connect with Him. Is like He guides me when I am writing. It is almost as if I had too many thoughts and God rearranges them to come out and actually something worth talking or writing about.

Tonight, I will like to talk about refocusing in God. I have been given an awesome opportunity to have time off from work. As most of you know, I had to have surgery and had 6 inches of my colon removed. Doing fine on that matter. During this time, although I got to spend time praising Him for everything good, that He did for me, I can't help to wonder how much more I could have done to serve Him. We had one of our pastors in our church talk about how much he loves people and how much he loves to serve them. I can totally relate with that. But what impressed me the most is our pastors' talk on changing the word LOVE into the word "SERVE". He was talking about serving others. In the past few weeks, I have felt so useless since I really can lift anything right now, but God always moved me to serve my friends and family and I would find him there. Where can I serve? What can I do to love HIM more through servitude? I figure the first thing was to focus on HIM.

This week is going to be a great week. I have a lot going on with a friend's wedding this weekend. What has come to my head is that before I can start being a "servant", I need to refocus on what God wants your plan to be. Sometimes we go out there and help, help, help, help but that is all you do. If you do not connect with God how are you supposed to "help" the people that need you? I have been connected with God a long time but sometimes my connection weakens when I don't pray enough, read the book enough or just praise him enough. It is almost like when the signal in your cell phone is weak. I need to make sure I recharge every day and that God leads me to where I need to go. Yes I do like to live life and share it with others but I need to know that God is planning my life and I am just enjoying the ride or the journey.

Like my pastor said this weekend, we over use the word love too much and sometimes we forget what it really means. He challenged us to go out there and instead of "loving" people go out there and "serve" people. Take a chance and let God use you as his instrument to be an inspiration to someone else. Just live life! God has a plan and HE will place the people in your path so you can be used. That is why I want to focus on God so that I can be an instrument of HIS love!
