What it takes to focuse on God

what is it that makes you feel like you are on the top of the world like a new car or that new job,why is it that we are only satisfied for only a short period of time we think that we have true happiness only to find out that the luster wears of and we find our selves longing for something else i know that it might sound st rang to you but i to am not a stranger to this anomaly recently we had lost heat in our shop and for two days over the worst time in Manitoba history the temps were hovering around -46 and with the wind chill making it feel like -50 i was working under a truck and you could see your breath i thought that this isn't so bad but now i have gotten sick and the only thing that i want is to be better i haven't been able to sleep due to coughing all night long i might be getting 3to 4 hrs sleep a night and every time i cough my brain hurts and through all this i have tried 3 different kinds of medicine. so i ask you why is it that we try to fill our lives with distractions only to find that we are only running from God being sick has opened my eyes again and i hope that you you find your self in a similar situation if you only get to see how much we really need to be with Christ and follow in his footsteps. I haven't gotten over the flew yet but i did get my voice back i tried to go to work today but i could only work for 3 hr i got so many people telling me that i really didn't look well i hope that you will pray for me and i hope that you have had a chance to examine your own heart until next Freedom Fridays.
