It does not look like I am keeping up with my blog very well.  It was a long week back to work.  This is my first full week back.  I made it every day up to the office from 9-4.  It is great to be back into the swing of things.  I feel like I am figuring things out at work again.  My concentration is a little better as well as my ability to sit at the computer.

I have really hung onto a verse from Ephesians that says God wants to point to me as his example of the incredible wealth of his favor and all he does (paraphrased from Ephesians 2:7).  So what is that example suppose to represent or demonstrate in this world...

God demonstrated his love for me, so I am an example of one who is loved...  so I love freely

God gave Jesus as an example for us to follow, so I am an example of one who learns about and follows that example...thus changing as I go.

God gave the Holy Spirit, so I am an example of one who lives in God's presence... so others experience peace in my presence.

Finally, God gave eternal life, so I am an example of one who has true hope, no matter what the circumstances of life...  recognizing this life is short but there is better days ahead!  All in All, not a bad week.
