Searcher

It's been a while. I was laid off from my job on May 15th and I'm currently unemployed. I've been using this time, or at least trying to use it, to figure out me and figure out God. I've had some intense struggles. I am a sinful person, we all are. I'm trying to figure out how to overcome some of that. I attend Summit Church and the pastor, JD, made a comment about sin today. He said that we have to find something we are more passionate about (God) than our sin in order to overcome it. That made sense to me both spiritually and psychologically. Cold-turkey is very hard and rarely do people do it well. But if we look at how people do go cold turkey they replace their problem, like smoking, with something else, like chewing gum or mints. So, if I have this really big sin I've been struggling with and I've tried to rationalize to not really be a sin how do I overcome it? I need to increase my passion for God and let it be a stronger urge than my urge to commit the sin. I'm going to work on that and get back to you on it!
In other news, I had an interview last week that went really well I think. I'm praying I get the position and I would appreciate any prayers! I haven't stressed, I trust that God will provide for me no matter what and if this job doesn't work out He has another one for me that is even better. So I will keep on searching. . .
