Now I don't care what kind of a life you have.

You're never going to really enjoy your life because God won't let you if you try to do it apart from him.

I'm Joyce Meyer and I believe that God can heal you everywhere you hurt.

There is a way that you can make ordinary everyday life extremely extraordinary.

And that is when you learn how to do life with God. Now that's the title of my message today, which is not hard, but what I'm going to share with you today was probably one of the most profound things that ever happened to me in my spiritual walk.

I just realized I didn't finish the story about Mike so I'll go back and finish it.

This morning I realized I didn't finish a story I started last night. Mike became so serious as a Christian.

And one night he was sound asleep and Penny woke him up and said Mike what what

what mr mr mrick are you ever going to make me laugh again and he said what what, what he what? What are you talking about? First he didn't get it.

Then about a week later his mother called him and said Mike are we ever going to talk about

sports again? See when he became a serious Christian he forgot about everything else in life except just doing something that he thought was spiritual.

And I remember going through the same thing, where I actually felt guilty just doing anything ordinary.

And even when I was doing ordinary things, I didn't enjoy them, I just wanted to rush through them and get them over

with so I could do something that I thought was spiritual.

You know why?

Because I felt, I felt that I was more pleasing to God.

Come on now you're gonna get this today.

I felt that I was more pleasing to God

if I was praying or studying the Bible or going to church, then I could have been if I was

watching TV or sweeping the floor.

Do you know that lighting a candle in a church is no more sacred than lighting the candles on your two-year-old's birthday cake. if you're doing it with and for God.
