Launching Life

Yay! We made it through our very first gathering? What were your thoughts? Let me know. As we set into this new season, our thoughts, hearts, and minds need to be set in the right place.
I've been struggling with work my whole life (all 8 years I've been working). As a man, I have that inerant need to get satisfaction from the work of my hands. I feel really good about what I'm doing when I know I've done a good job and have served people. But how much work is too much? Do I sell myself short as far as how much I get paid? I don't know. But I often need to look at Adam in Genesis, our first father, and see his flaws. Because he and Eve ate the fruit to be like God, they were cursed: Adam with the work of his hands and Eve with trying to lead in relationship. Because I know where my struggle with satisfaction comes from, I know where I need to be looking for direction: God. My satisfaction should not be directed towards earthly goals but on my relationship with God.
Let me ask this: how often do you feel completely satisfied when in God's presence, when you've completely submitted yourself to His will in His presence? Me, I always feel content in His presence. If I feel discontent with the work of my hands, then, I ought to turn towards God for satisfaction.
What are your thoughts? Let me know!
