My observation from yesterday is true, I'm pretty sure.

the devil is trying so very hard to distract me from what my purpose is. I am not ever supposed to let anything take priority over God, but lately, I have seen work, school, and money taking over, not because I want them to, but because I am being told that I have to.

And to think that started to make sense to me.

I need to get my head back on straight with God, and let Him have his rightful place in my heart, ahead of trivial matters like money and posessions.

I have to reclaim my urge to seek the face of God, and never lose it again.

I talked to a friend today, a common friend of mine with the friend who passed away Thursday morning. We talked about alot of things, and we got on the topic of spirituality, to which I found out she is rediscovering hers. This brought a warmth to my heart, because I had been hoping she would for quite a while.

We also agreed, that however cliche', God can sometimes make you see, in the loss of a loved one, how important it is to examine our lives and live for the right things.

Is the display of negative emotion characteristic of a true believer? Can a Christian display a bad mood and not cast a negative light on their beliefs and faith?
