God's grace is becoming a daily need in my life. I am learning that while I tend to think on a more physical level, God is thinking on a more spiritual level. When He states that His grace is sufficient to provide all my needs, He is talking about a whole lot more than the physical, financial, or mental needs of His people.

As I have been seeking God out more He has been showing me so many things about myself. Without out Him I am very selfish and focused on my physical needs. Even now I struggle with focusing on Him instead of my needs and wants. I am learning that when I focus my efforts on God and His glory that I can trust Him so much better than when I start wondering how we are going to buy food or gas with no money and we don't get paid for a week, or how we are going to pay the kids' school so that they can come back next year or how we are going to make it through the summer if we don't find summer jobs.

There are so many worries in today's world but I am understanding more why Jesus asks us to take His yolk and give Him our yolk. His yolk is so much easier to bear. When I focus on Him and what He has for me to do I can handle my problems so much easier because I am not worrying about them. In fact they are not my problems anymore, they are Jesus' problems. I don't have to worry anymore because no matter what happens Jesus is in charge and He has promised that He will never leave or forsake me.

I am excited about my life really; I am learning so much more since I decided that God is working for me and not against me. I am understanding so much more now that I realize that what is here now is not as important than what is eternal. I am learning to store up my treasures in heaven and not here on earth. I am learning to be heaven bound and not earth bound. To do God's will and not my own. Oh, I mess up often, but I thank God that He is forgiving and that I am learning.
