Back to the Basics of Life

         "Getting back to the Basics of Life" has been the theme of my life this past week. It is strange how it came to my mind though. This past Saturday, at church, we were talking about how Christians need to get back to the basics like the Bible and Prayer. I got that and I thought during the sermon, "oh, boy another boring service" but then my mind took a turn. We said "The Apolate's Creed" and I use to do that at the church I went to during college. I got to thinking about college and everything after that. What I did back then and now. What I liked and how I did things.
          For some reason, I'm going back there and liking it more and more. I'm learning to do things over, I'm looking for new things, I'm thinking about going back to college, and I'm learning that I would like to either teach or own my own daycare/preschool. Those have been my old, first dreams. It feels like I'm starting over being back at the very basics. Seems like God is just restarting my life again because I wouldn't pay attention to Him during something. Not quite sure what that is yet.
           It is like He is telling me that I can't do anything but this one thing. He is also telling me that this is who I really like or what I really like in a person. These are the kinds of friends I need around me. The most important this is I am getting to find out my true self. It is really like I was trying to be someone different to please certain people but now I don't feel like I have to be that or or even what to be that way. It is more stressful then it seems. I can't explain more because I would give out too much information.
            It is like when I get back to the basics of life, I am more beautiful and strong then ever. Just like when we get back to the basics for a church it makes that church beautiful and stronger for what they love.  My passion for children is becoming stronger and I feel like I can do it. Strong enough to say something and do something about it. It also shows me how I want to change lives. Sometimes we just have to learn the hard way or wait for the way that God has for us.
             You might not get the experiences that you do when you try to be someone. I'm not saying to be someone different. I'm just saying that we might mess up because we are humans but God can use those as teaching moments and bring us back around to who we really are. I need to write more about it away from this because the other stuff is more personal but I want to remember it and how I felt.
