Today brought thinking on a lot of topics, related to my sprituality.

The first actually comes from a devotional, and actually, along with God doing most of the work, of course, helped me to realize where my anger and temper problem with some things was wrong.

I read that in Christ's life, He viewed every problem as an opportunity to show the light of God.

I really, really like that. And it's really, really true. Every problem IS an opportunity to show the light of God, and how He has my life in His hands. No problem is permanent, and by tomorrow, that problem could be a wonderful solution.

Going into a stressful night at work really did make a difference, too. Despite the stress that was ever-present tonight, I managed to keep a positive outlook in remembering who it is that I REALLY work for, and I think it showed. My mood was much better about the worst tasks, and I think it showed to others.

What I want is for others to know my spirituality without ever having to ask.

And my hotel is gone. Has been for almost a month. Completely demolished, making way for a new building to be put in its' place. I think this metaphor is pretty incredible, in how it's timed pretty nicely in continuation with what I'm seeing in God and in this world, recently. I feel like my old life is almost torn down, altogether, that many old aspects of my life are going away, to make way for a truly new life in God. My will to hang on to things that I've had are not so important as they once were, in light of what God wants of me in life. I love it.

Where do our opinions end, and God's truth begin?
