We had an amazing sermon yesterday. You can listen to it here. I wish I could have been blogging right then when I was listening to it.. but now will have to do. So many things struck me and I just felt like he was speaking directly to me and my life.
One thing he talked about was being mastered by your feelings. If you feel tired or hungry or whatever and you're constantly giving into those feelings, then you are mastered by them and you believe in your heart that they have to be satisfied. That is me to a degree. I know that I'm not like that way all the time, but lately, I've been trying to get up before the girls to spend time praying and reading my bible, and it hasn't been happening as much as I would like. I am totally mastered by the feeling of being tired.
Another thing he talked about was living in the now. Don't worry about tomorrow, and don't let the sins of the past, that you've been forgiven of, rule your feelings.
Also, he said that we can't fill our minds with whatever we want all week, and then expect God to remove it. On this, I'm much better than I used to be. But there are still some areas that I could probably cleanse. I've learned that it's important to guard my eyes and ears.
I'm planning on started his series from the beginning again because I've missed a few weeks... but it really is a great series. I suggest you listen to it.

Thanks for posting this Deanna, it didn't occur to me that I could listen to sermons on line...duh. Now when we're on the road I don't have to feel bad that we don't make it to church.
I hear you on the mastered by tiredness... that one is very hard to overcome. I'll pray for you.
Talk to you later.
