Motivation

So, I have been motivated lately. Motivated to be in God's word more, pray more, and to do my job better:) Sometimes I don't think my job is very glamorous, or needed. I feel a little purposeless, but that's when I loose focus. My purpose? To worship God, and point others to Christ with my life. And, in order to do that, I need to be motivated to do my "job". My job is to make our home run as smoothly and efficiently as possible, and to make others feel welcome here. I want to be like my mom:) She makes being a housewife look easy. She always stays busy, and is always doing something, and that is something I want to have in my own life. My mom has Martha Stewart beat hands down. My mom's household is the smoothest, most efficient home I know of. And she accomplishes it by always being busy. So, here's to trying to be like my mom!

And, I would like to speculate on the Osama Bin Laden moment in history. I was disappointed in how the majority of America acted. People were rejoicing, but for the wrong reasons. People were not rejoicing, because he most likely not be going to heaven, and be damned to an eternal hell. I understand that point of view, and I also understand rejoicing for the right reasons. In the Bible, there was always rejoicing during war when there was a victory, and I think it is very sad that people thought we should not rejoice over a victory that God has given our nation. And, I also think that it is very sad that he is not spending eternity in heaven, with God, but that was his choice, and how many people did he send to hell, by killing people in mass numbers. So, even thought one soul was lost, others in the future were potentially saved, and so that is another reason to rejoice. It is foolish not to rejoice in a victory that God has given us. But that's the thing. Rejoice in the victory, not the death.
