Eclipse hype

I was a little disappointed that I didn't get to actually watch the eclipse live, but due to my full time job as a receptionist for a doctor's office, I wasn't able to leave my desk during the middle of the day.

I did however enjoy reading posts from people about the eclipse.  This one from Tobymac was posted and I shared it on my Facebook page.

I did try to celebrate the eclipse during my class. I purchased some Eclipse gum to give to my participants that came that night.  I played Bonnie Tyler's "Total Eclipse of the Heart" during my cool down, then for Heart Work, I talked about how we can allow things in life to eclipse the light from our lives.

Trials, struggles, valleys and those little things that can make life hard can cause the light of Jesus that is in our lives as Christian to become eclipsed with darkness.  We need to be aware of those things that can get in the way of the light. Focus our attention on God.  When we focus on the things that eclipse us, it's allowing Satan to win.  But when we focus on God, He wins.  I'm thankful that I have a great family and a group of friends who keep me in check.  I also am thankful for the personal relationship with Jesus.  Life can be hard, but God is good and we need to focus on the goodness of God!
