Bible study

Everyday this week I've been reading my bible and following along with a telecast of tomorrows world with Roderick Meredith or the shepards chapel telecast that comes on tv all day. Just by reading the bike and following along in the study I'm learning so much about Gods word. He has advice on everything, from ministering to marriage and  the bible really does have the answers on life your looking for, you just have to be willing to read,accept and practice the thigs which God teaches. I feel so full after my sessions, and I know this is the right path for me to take. I thank Him everyday and ask for his guidance and for me to understand his word even better.

my first fast

Today started a new routine, a weekly routine of fasting on every Wednesday, I won't eat any solid food or drink anything besides water. Also iwont have gum, candy or tobacco. The first few hours of my fast were spent morning coming home from work, I didn't eat and didn't feel an urge to eat, I however pray for the strength and fortitude to start and complete my fast. Waking up aroundeleven this morning after a few frantic calls from may mom. ( there were thunder storms and tornado warnings in our part of Alabama all dat, and a total of seven tornadoes struck neighboring counties) I soon felt my first hunger pain after sitting with grandma for a bit nd watching her eat her lunch. I decided to increase my water intake and to take my mind off my stomach and to remind myself why I was going thrift such an endeavor I read a few chapters of Matthew. After reading and praying I let myself have an your justamente an Jou pd Internet time (hule time) i watched most of the latest episode of glee and cut it short before my hour was up. After that I went upstairs and read from the bible some more and took a cat nap in the chapel room. I woke up and started reading again, all the while thanking God for staying with me and giving me through my fast. I've got a few more minutes to go before it is officially Thursday and my fast ends in a few minutes and I'm still jot sure why ill eat, but whatever it is it is going to be good!

staying focused

It hasn't been easy staying on task with l the new distractions in my life, the new phone included. Work is work but with the prospect of school starting in less than a month I know that I will need more money from scholarships and grants. I've been letting time go by without serious looking at all my financial options... I need to do a few things around the house this week, laundry, finishing the ditch for the pipe and writing the letter to the lady at Lawson about filing me as independent. I also signed up for this a team event at work, we are going to an elementary school on Thursday to teach kids how to plant flowers. It should be fun, and I need a little fun right now. I'm reading the bible more now that I have the app on my phone. Long day today, I worked this morning for five hours fame home, had the best steam bath and then took a nap, I didn't do much but it seemed like a long day. Tomorrow will be more productive. :)
