Overflowing with the Holy Spirit

         I just now getting to write this entry over a sermon that I heard about 3 weeks ago. During the sermon, the preacher gave me an idea. He kind of gave an outline about what he did to keep overflowing with the Holy Spirit so I thought I would share in more details what I did for myself to keep me in step with the Holy Spirit too. The preacher's steps were for everyone so they weren't that personal. They were like: a moment by moment, hour by hour, day by day, week by week, and so on.

Here is my personal things that I do to keep overflowing with the Holy Spirit:

-Have a daily verse calendar that I look at every morning.
-Sometimes I do devos. in the morning for like 15 to 20 mins.
-Listen to Christian songs while I'm getting ready in the mornings.
-During my hour break, I take a walk outside and just look at God's Creation around
me.
-After work, sometimes if I have a Bible study, I would come home and do that for
about 30 mins. to a hour.
-Before I go to bed, that is when I talk to God.

What I need to get better at:
-Talking to God throughout my day whether it is asking for helping or thanking Him.
-Remembering and reciting the verses or thoughts that I read in the morning throughout
the day.
-Talking about God to other people.
-Focusing my thoughts on God and nothing else. That one seems to go back and forth for
me. Some days I would do fine and then it would go back to my mind on other things.

Those are just some of the things that I need to get better at. I know there are a lot more things that I could do to make my life all for God but that is all I can think about right now. I want my list of things that keep me overflowing with the Holy Spirit to be longer then it is. I want the things I need to get better at to move up to the other list. I think if I can do those things, maybe some of my worries will be gone and I can be happier and stay that way for more then a month. I know I could stop going back and forth on it for sure.
