May 3, continued.

Today was an ordinary Monday. Worked all day at the vet clinic, then home this evening. Don't have to be at the cinema tonight.

Since giving my life to Christ and accepting him into mine, I've noticed some changes in myself. Nothing dramatic, mind you, just some changes. Even though the stresses in my life are still there, I'm not quite as spastic about them. While I still get a bit down and frustrated, I'm finding myself relying more on the comfort of God whereas before, I never did. I have begun searching out things in the Bible to read and find comfort in. I've also begun reading the Bible and really paying attention to it. While I did take the class "Read the Bible in 90 Days" last year..and I did read it...there is a difference between reading something because you have to...and really truly reading something. I am finding myself reading the Bible to absorb it. To understand it, to learn from it.

The same goes for Sunday service at church. And Pastor Darren, if you read this please don't get mad at me! Often in church, I found my mind wandering during the sermon. I would be thinking about my problems, about this or that...often not listening to the words spoken by my minister. Now mind you, I didn't do these every Sunday, but too many times. Last Sunday, though, I actually listened. I listened to every word and you know what...it was wonderful! The sermon was wonderful!!! And I left thinking about it and not thinking about other things.

Ok, enough ramblings for today......
