I am happy to report that I got 11 hours of sleep last night AND my only class today was cancelled! So I got to spend the day with Kaitlin and Liz doing laundry and working out. We went to the rec center and ran the indoor track then went to one of the open rooms upstairs and we danced for awhile... It was so fun! Tonight I just relaxed and watched some shows I missed on Hulu while Kaitlin watched the Chargers game. It's been an easy and pretty uneventful day.
I've decided to get myself into a new night time routine where I read my Bible every night. I used to read my Bible often but not every night, and it seems like since coming to school I've kind of put it on the back burner. I figured that if I got into a better routine then I would be more likely to read it every night. I really feel like I should be spending more time in the word and just growing closer to God. It's hard with all the craziness here, but when I really stop to think about it, I know that He should be the center of my life, always. I just have to stick with that same mindset everyday instead of letting myself forget.
"I'm part of the fellowship of the unashamed. I have stepped over the line. The decision has been made. I'm a disciple of Jesus Christ. I won't look back, let up, slow down, back away, or be still. My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, my future is secure. I'm finished and done with low living, sight walking, small planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tamed visions, mundane talking, cheap living, and dwarfed goals. I no longer need preeminence, prosperity, position, promotions, plaudits, or popularity. I don't have to be right, first, tops, recognized, praised, regarded, or rewarded. I now live by faith, lean on His presence, walk by patience, lift by prayer, and labor by power. My face is set, my gait is fast, my goal is heaven, my road is narrow, my way rough, my companions few, my Guide reliable, my mission clear. I cannot be bought, deluded, or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of the adversary, negotiate at the table of the enemy, or meander in the maze of mediocrity."
