I was listening to Oasis online this morning and they are starting a Christmas series called “Live, Love, Laugh”. I was hoping to be able to make it to the service, but I wasn’t so I decided to do the next best thing and that’s watch it online. Pastor Camp talked about how we really shouldn’t be focusing too much on what’s going on all around us, because those are things we can’t control. Instead, we should be focusing on what’s happening inside of us and making sure that we are cultivating the ‘good’ things.
I think that’s part of my problem for this entire year- There was SO much going on around me that I had no control over that it overwhelmed me. There was a lot of drama and negativity- and rather than focusing on the ‘inside’ I allowed some of that ‘junk’ to creep in. Now- I need to fix it. There isn’t a magic wand, but a little at a time I know I can get ‘me’ back and for that- I’m grateful.
