Radio Disney

When I was 8, no doubt I was addicted to listening in to Radio Disney.
I remember entering lots of contests to meet my favorite celebrities, then losing. Then I would think,"Why isn't this person rejoicing every minute of every day because she met Corbin Bleu or some other celebrity?"

Now that I am older, I feel as if I can apply this to my own life as well. When I first gave my life to Christ and to this day today why aren't I rejoicing every minute of every day, 24/7? For example, in 2004, I got baptized at the beach. Shouldn't I still be rejoicing that day where I became a part of God's Kingdom and not blaming God for the things wrong in my life? Shouldn't me getting baptized be inspiration for me to reach out to others and not just make it a "scrapbook moment" but a real life movement to help people receive God's word? We have this life on Earth for a reason, and I feel I could really reach out to people through writing, speaking, and/or missions trip. I really need to help others and not just keep God's Gift to myself.

Lately I have been trying to thank God for the little things in life from the Science study guide so I don't fail my test to the Latte See's Candy lollipop I just ate because it was delish. Shouldn't I not just pick a day to praise God, but like that Radio Disney winner, praise God every SINGLE day?
