| Today was a fairly easy going day. I attended church in the morning, took Holy Communion (bread & wine - taken every first Sunday of each month). Today's sermon was really good, we watched a video of Greg Laurie.



His website can be accessed here: http://www.harvest.org/greg/

I don't remember what the topic was but I remember several times that Greg said that people are constantly 'waiting' for something life changing to happen in their lives, in order to move on, to pick up their game, to enjoy life.

First its getting out of high school, then its getting into uni, then its getting out of uni, then its finding a job, then its finding the right person, then its marrying them, then its divorcing them, then its finding another partner, then its having kids, then its losing the kids, then its..

*dies*

We keep putting off the feeling of satisfaction, just waiting for something to happen in order to restore that happy feeling we once had.

What are you waiting for? What are you living for? Why are you living?

To get a good UAI? To get into a good university? To get a good job? To find a good partner? To start a good family?


Why?


Greg Laurie then talked about a certain psychologist who surveyed 3000 people on their overall satisfaction with life. 97% of them were 'waiting for something to happen'.

We need to be able to be happy now, and I found that in God. You don't have to be a religious person to have God in your life, just a sinner. I find that with God's presence, I have a purpose - I know where to go.

Now, I'm not trying to convert you or anything but here's a little something to watch: http://www.lightsource.com/Ministry/greg_laurie_tv/20071202/


You know you love me,
