"ONE MORE DAY
ONE MORE TIME
ONE MORE SUNSET,
MAYBE I'D BE SATISFIED
BUT THEN AGAIN
I KNOW WHAT IT WOULD DO
LEAVE ME WISHING STILL,
FOR ONE MORE DAY WITH YOU"

It was good! Thank you Lord. I've been feeling unmotivated, frusterated, and inadequate. But today my present visited my future. I got to talk with a man from emi (www.emiusa.org) engineering ministries international. They design churches, orphanages, schools, and Christian camps all over the world. God is so amazing and I am so excited to serve Him by building for others.

"Lord, I hope this day is good.
I'm feeling empty and misunderstood.
I should be thankful Lord I know I should.
But Lord I hope this day is good."

In His Steps Charles M. Sheldon
1 Peter 2:21
For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps.
1 John 2:6
whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked.
Luke 14:33
So therefore, any one of you who does not renounce all that he has cannot be my disciple.
“I want to do something that will cost me something in the way of sacrifice. I know you will not understand me. But I am hungry to suffer for something. What have we done all our lives for the suffering, sinning side of Raymond? How much have we denied ourselves or given of our personal ease and pleasure to bless the place in which we live or imitate the life of the Savior of the world? Are we always to go on doing as society selfishly dictates, moving on its little narrow round of pleasures and entertainments, and never knowing the pain of things that cost?”
Luke 9:23
And he said to all, "If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.
“I have found my cross and it is a heavy one, but I shall never be satisfied until I take it up and carry it.”
Ephesians 5:1-2
Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. 2And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
John 8:12
Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."
John 21:22
Jesus said to him, "If it is my will that he remain until I come, what is that to you? You follow me!"
“Are we not ready to follow Him all the way? What is it to be a follower of Jesus? What does it mean to imitate Him? What does it mean to walk in His steps?”
Matthew 8:19
And a scribe came up and said to him, "Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go."
2 Corinthians 8:9
For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you by his poverty might become rich.
“Martyrdom is a lost art with us. Our Christianity loves its ease and comfort too well to take up anything so rough and heavy as a cross.”
Psalm 85:13
Righteousness will go before him and make his footsteps a way.
Luke 14:33
So therefore, any one of you who does not renounce all that he has cannot be my disciple.
1 Peter 2:21
For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps.

James 3:13-18
13Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom. 14But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth. 15Such "wisdom" does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, of the devil. 16For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice.
17But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. 18Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness.

My professor is gonna flip when he sees this. He told us to set up a moment in the scene. I'll show him kitchy

Brett and me
2 Months
He's been gone 2 months today. I never knew two months could be so long. I wonder if he knows how long it has been. I wore a shirt I got with him today. Does he know how much I miss him? Does he know how much I love him? I want him back.

1 Corinthians 9:24-26
Do you not know that in a race all the runners compete, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it. Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable. So I do not run aimlessly; I do not box as one beating the air.

Am I running to win? What do I want to win a perishable reward or an eternal one? What is my aim? Am I beating air?
