Chapter Six: Life Is A Temporary Assignment
First of all, I would like to add to my previous post. DUH! I am being tested right now by God. My husband's pay was cut by 40%. We are having to readjust how we life completely. In a way, it has made our life better. We are valuing the things in life we should have been all along--time with family. Through God's test, I am learning to love life even more.
Moving on to tonight's chapter.
Question: How should the fact that life on earth is just a temporary assignment change the way I am living right now?
Answer: I need to stop stressing over little issues. At times, I worry about money, especially after the paycut mentioned above. I also push myself a little too hard when it comes to grading and planning for school. Yes, my career matters, but possibly not as much as I emphasize it. I also need to put my desires in check: I don't need all the cutest shoes and the latest fashions. They are trivial when it comes to the bigger picture. God needs to be a much bigger part of my life.
