What truth did God expose in your heart today? That I give a lot of my time and resources to helping people in quantifiable ways that they can relate to. Things that are immediately tangible and the world understands. I'm able to guide them on a path of betterment in nearly any category of their life... and when it's paying out I toss God in there like an added bonus instead of the driving force & the only thing that matters. It's still difficult to imagine leading with God & having that well received or even detrimental to the opportunity of helping at all... but I have to remember God makes people ready to receive, no Mike.

1. What truth did God reveal to you today? God reminded me to time of my decision to go to grad school for my PhD long time ago. It was not because I heard a clear calling from God. It was still possible it was from Him but I heard the voice of my dad who suggested it. I went through difficult times at school trying to do the most difficult experiments and try to write publications so that i have accomplished something great in academia. I experienced rage and even punched a hole in the wall in my lab on Christmas day doing experiments. I had to temporarily quit school and get Christian counseling. Letting go and giving to God was the key for my healing. I learned that trying to impress my dad was a false mask i was wearing. Even though I am no longer a student I see some of the issues as I navigate being a dad, an employee. I want to go into business on my own but I have mindset issues and inexperience. 2.

Also, I have been at time spending late nights getting work done for my job which is causing exhaustion a couple times a month. I have the fear of losing my job so I want to impress my boss/coworkers. 3. What is one thing you will intentionally live differently today? Just to be thankful in everything.
