Mending Your Net

 Well, I went to church this morning and I have found that I liked this church.  The church was very similar to the one in Atlanta; open and inviting to anyone who wants to come.  The pastor spoke about mending your net.  A fisher man has to mend his net; fix it and clean it, so he can continue to fish with it.  If a net isn't mended, fish won't go to it or goes thru the holes in the net.  It was a nice metaphor to life's situations.  We need to make sure we take care of our marriage, children, jobs before we can worry about other people or other things.  Our lives will draw those who need a touch from God to us and it will be done on God's time.  

I loved the fact that I was able to hear this message being preached because it was a reminder that I needed to focus on myself and my family to maintain a life here on earth and allow God to work on me spiritually so I can be up to doing what is in His will and touch those around me that needs Him.  I am not talking about being a specific religion or living a specific life; I am talking about living a life of unconditional love and being able to serve others with love while taking care of ourselves emotionally/physically/mentally. 

I do believe that when one chooses to live a certain life following a certain religion, it is their life's journey to go on to truly learn about themselves spiritually.  However I do not believe that it is right that when one chooses to live their lives for God, they live it In a way where they are critical of others and passes judgement on others around them and claim to live their lives as God sees it.  I pray that I never get to be that way, I pray that if I choose to live a life with a specific religion that I will live this life in unconditional love for others and have a desire to serve others with love.  I don't believe that we can change another person's lives for the better with words, we can change their lives for the better through our actions.   

I will take this time in my life as a healing period; so many broken pieces of my soul and heart is lying around and I am ready to be put back together and live the life as a better person with a desire to change the world, one step at a time.  My net needs mending and I'll shall take the time to mend it so I can do what I was put on Earth to do.

Be Blessed
