I think I am finally getting my act together. I have been kind of just floating through life lately and I have noticed that this state of not caring has really effected me. I have become quite crabby and my temper flies even when I don't mean it to. Today, the Holy Spirit just really worked on me all day. I felt really, really bad about something. I checked the usual; asked my boss if I was in trouble, checked to make sure I was not over drawn in my checking account, etc. Everything was fine. So, over my lunch, I asked God why my spirit is being troubled. Then I realized. I have been running my mouth and living with a dark cloud over my head. I said things about people I should not have and have been treating people not as good as they deserve. So I decided today I would make a three-quarter-year resolution. No more talking dirt about people unless that person is around and it is just for fun. Also, I have decided I need to start volunteering time in the church. I have not been going to church as often because there is nothing holding me accountable. When I was on worship team, I had to be there every sunday and wednesday. I never missed church. Now that I am no longer on the team, I have not been going to church. Not because I think that I can only go if I am up front singing but because I had nothing making me go. My relationship with God had not been the best and it is easy to put off spending time with Him. Well, now I am volunteering in the sound booth and I am going to be there every sunday.
After lunch, my whole attitude changed. I am my old self again! I missed being this person!!

ME TOO!!! I am so glad you realized what you were doing! I have noticed it for quite some time but me preaching at you was not goig to help the situation. I have to admit, I got tired of hearing the trash talk and if you noticed, I always tried to change the subject. Not because I am better than you because I too was at that point at one time in my life but because I didn't want to be in that place again. I truly believe that God has started to mold my life into what I was put on this earth for. I still have to figure out what that is but I believe I am on the right road!!! Love ya lots and if you ever need to just talk, I am always here for you!
Don't be too hard on yourself Jess. Every kid goes through that period in their life. You should be proud of yourself for realizing it and deciding to make a change. You must know that there are going to be times where you may slip up and find that you just did something that was back to the "old jess". That's okay, it's not going to happened over night. Just make sure that you take care of it right away and get back to the "New Jess".
It's good to hear that you're helping out in the sound booth. Are you sure you don't want to help out in the K-1st Sunday School class? Please!!! I'm totally kidding - kind of. Actually, I would like to be able to be in the adult service more. Pastor Steve's messages are so good and I really miss them when I'm in Sunday School.
