Excitement.

Philippians chapter 4 verses 6 and 7.
Don't worry about anything; instead; pray about everything; tell God your needs and don't forget to thank Him for His answers. If you do this you will experience God's peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will keep your thoughts and your hearts quiet and at rest as you trust in Christ Jesus."

Everyday we go about our busy lives. Whatever it is that keeps us occupied. Do you ever get tired of the same repeating sunrise and sunset, where everything that happens in between is the same and the only way it ever changes is because you stepped forward and made that happen.? Or do you see each day as an experience and you are excited to see what today will bring?
   I know that the early years of my life were a blur. I mean I lost the teens through to my 40's. They were gone and what did I have to show for it? My life was anything but boring. I liked to do things and that led me to small towns, camp grounds, fishing holes and places where I met all sorts of interesting people. The one thing I never did, until the day of my fortieth birthday, was call upon God to be with me.
   The years had melted away and I had not shared a moment of them with God. But, once I did come to Him, I found out that, He has always been there with me. I just never took the time to stop and say hello. My life led me to summer fun and winter skiing. And all of it was surrounded by alcohol and drugs. Loud music and wild all night parties.
   Cottages, boats, barbecues and lots of partying. There were hotel rooms, restaurants and all sorts of people who seem to share the same enjoyment as I did. I could have ended up up jail or in serious trouble with guns or criminals, but I did not and I am thankful to have gotten through without too many mistakes.
   I had to work in order to have money a shelter over my head and there were a lot of times where I should have not had the job because of my fuzzed brain cells. The energy we have when young is amazing and needs to be dispersed somewhere. The way I did it was my choice and it held my interests.
   I went to church until I was 14 years old, then I began to enjoyed my other group of friends more than church youth. Was it pier pressure? or maybe it was the desire be around the parties. I don't know why I took the paths of life that I did, but I was kept safe and I did make it to God.
   I had accumulated sadness and depression. There was a massive amount of debt and all I seemed to be doing was going nowhere with the crowd I knew. So, I remembered my bible and thought what could it hurt to get to know more about God.
   My life style fought Him, my friends did not like me getting to know Him. My health wanted to stay enjoying the cigarettes, the drugs and the alcohol. Well, whatever the reason was I fought through finding myself wanting a life with God and Jesus more than my old ways.
   I am so thankful to God for His love and patience. Coming to Him is truly being given an opportunity to come home to a welcoming place where you are loved and cared for. My debt went away, my health let go of the holds it had and my love for people changed.
   Now I have a loving family and a life where I serve God. I do not go anywhere or do anything without looking to Him, to make sure He is with me. I am so thankful to see a sunrise in all it beauty, to live each day enjoying all that I do, loving others and loving Jesus.
   I should have had my eye's opened long ago, but now they are and it is my suggestion to anyone to take the opportunity to come to God and let Him touch your life in a way that will blow your mind and leave you so filled with joy that the past will forever be left behind.
   Thank you Father for Jesus and the breath of a fresh new life that You bring to all who come to You. 😊
