I use to believe I had to watch a movie in the evening or I would die. 

I was so tired in the evenings after being on my feet all day and taking care of my family and fulfilling all my responsibilities, I believed I needed to decompress, relax and zone out or I would crash.

Then, we decided to make a change and watch 1-2 episodes of and old series like “Andy Griffith”  instead of a movie, so that we could have more time to read in the evenings. I had always read before bed so, I just read longer out of a good book. But, then one day I just wanted to feel Gods presence more. Even though I had routinely done my gospel study in the mornings, I decide to do even more before bed. At first it was just fifteen minutes, now it has grown an hour. I love feeling Gods influence more. It is wonderful to start the day with His love and end the day with His love. 

Please share, What small change have you made, that has helped you feel Gods influence more in your life?
