She listens

I was scrolling through Instagram during the day and a few things caught my attention. I noticed how a majority of the people are all about making money whether it be through promoting a certain product, or by merely being an 'influencer'. Now don't get me wrong here, I'm not saying that wanting to make money is a sin, but what I am saying is that we need to have a heart check. "But they that will be rich fall into a temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. " - 1 Timothy 6: 9-10.

One moment you're thinking about how far you have come, the next is about the amount of work you still need to catch-up on, or what you will be having for lunch.The truth is that I have been guilty of doing this quite often. I have been guilty of letting my mind wander which has also had an impact on my emotions. What exactly does it mean to "let your mind wander?" According to Phrase Finder, it means to let whatever thought come into your mind without you directing those thoughts.
