It's Monday

It’s Monday. Need I say more? In case anyone forgot what today is, (which is nearly impossible) it’s the 5th anniversary of 9-11. I totally remember that day like it was last week. I remember being scared, and watching TV a lot the week afterwards.

It’s Monday. I have two tests tomorrow that I really don’t feel like studying. I have a headache and a fever. Can I please just go back to bed?

Something that I have really been thinking about lately is motives. Motives drive almost everything we do or say. Lately, I have been challenged by asking myself “why am going here?” or “why am I wearing this?” Sometimes I have a reason, but if I look closer, I have real reason. I don’t know if that makes sense or not. Even good things can have wrong motives. Next time you go to church, ask yourself “why am I really looking forward to going to church? Is it because I have an honest desire to hear God’s word, or more because I want to see my friends?” It’s been really convicting to ask myself those kinds of questions.
