To..changing

Ugh, I woke up today at 7:50 am! I have to be at work at 8am. Yeah ROUGH morning. I dont like starting days where Im in a rush. I wasnt about to let this set the tone for the day though. I got to work around 8:07 or so and decided to sit and take a breather. I wanted to just relax since I was in a rush to get to work. My boss came in today and gave me my check and he told me I was skinny..lol thats probably why I like him so much today. I seriously cant wait for this week to be over with! Except unfortunately or fortunately I got a lot of stuff to do. Well not a lot but its not a lazy weekend at home. Im going to my grandmas at like 6 am on Saturday morning to pick her up from Mt Vernon to bring her to my moms house in St. Joe. Im spending the day there, hopefully its a beautiful day and we can just lay outside and get in the hot tub. Dans going to come for lunch and we will stay for dinner then go home. On Sunday my grandma, mom, Elizabeth, and me are going to Kansas, IL for Brittanys party. I cant wait to see her and her family! I miss Elizabeth too so it will be nice to hang out with her. She was gone all last week, I feel like I havent talked to her in forever!
Last night, small group was amazing. One of the girls in the group taught us More Light. She learned it at the Vineyard, they are actually doing a review class tonight for it. Its hard to explain on the computer, if anyone wants to know I can explain it in person. Theres a series of steps to take in order to break a lie through the power of Jesus. He will speak to you about a specific memory or event that happened in your life relating to the problem you are having in order to get over it. We did it on one girl last night and I got to watch and write what was happeneing... it was so cool. I got an email from the girl in my group with a link so I can listen to the class and learn more about it. Dan said he would listen to it with me so Ill probably do that this weekend when we have time.
I wanted to share something from my daily devotional email yesterday that related to how I felt yesterday. By the way, Im so over the news and whats going on in this country. I need to hear something positive! Im tired of hearing about the economy, swine flu, divorces, whatever it may be.. Im over it. I want to hear good things, not bad things. :) Anyways heres what I wanted to share :
"I should not allow the world to fill my mind with ungodly thinking
and focusing on the "things" of this world. The best way to keep
the evil one and his devices from entering my mind is to guard
its door with scripture and prayer and by focusing on that which is
true, noble, just, pure, lovely and good.
The things I allow my mind to focus on will determine the way
I live and if I focus on the evils and temptations of this world,
I take down my guard and can be led into
sin like a sheep to slaughter.
If I fill my mind with the things of Christ, then I will become Christ like and if I fill my mind with the evils of this world then I become like the rest of the world. "
