Well, today was "officially" my first day of my Summer "Do Hard Things"...thing. Which is why I have 29 minutes to write this blog post, have a conversation, write in my journal, and memorize some of Ephesians. Unless I decide to go to sleep at 9:30, which I may do. I am so used to going to bed much later that it will be hard to go to bed on time. I am so tired tonight, I may just take advantage of that and go to sleep early. The other things can be done tomorrow.
Today I:
Today I:
- Cleaned my room(did some of it the other day, but most of it today.)
- Read the first 5 chapters of Deuteronomy
- Wrote a letter to Becca
Heh. Not much, but considering all I've done so far, it's fine. Also, considering how dirty my room was, it's a lot.
In Deuteronomy it's neat to read the kind of an overview Moses is giving the Children of Israel. I've been dreading getting back into the Old Testament, which sounds horrid, but sometimes it can be(most times) so hard to read. There are some pretty interesting points, however, and much to learn from. I think my favorite part of the book of Joshua was when one of the tribes goes to Joshua, complaining about how big their tribe is, and how little land they have. Joshua told them, "Guys, if you are a great, powerful tribe, then go over to those woods you have and cut you some land where the Perizzites and giants live, if your mountain is too small for you." So they say, "But Joshua, that mountain isn't big enough for us, and all those Canaanites that dwell there have big chariots." (I can just image they are getting a bit pouty here.) So Joshua just tells them, "Listen, there are a lot of you, and you are strong, so if you need more places to live, go kill those Canaanites. If y'all are strong, you can handle it whether or not they have iron chariots."
Heh. Now, that's not exactly how it goes, but, that's my paraphrase. :D I found the whole scenario pretty amusing.
I have a friend who's grown up in a really strict household, and lately she's become pretty rebellious. I've been trying to gain her confidence for awhile, and it's going pretty well. She shared some stuff with me the other day that she really shouldn't have (I didn't ask her to tell me), but I was glad that she trusts me enough to tell me. I'm really praying that God will change her heart.
Goodnight! <3
