Let's Call Her "E" (Day 442)

I was told an interesting story a few weeks ago. There is a young girl I coach, let's call her "E". This year, E won many awards at our end of the year banquet. She has taken off and become quite the talented swimmer. She's one of my girls who is always smiling, always laughing, but always attentive and focused. Honestly, for her age she's a perfect pupil.

Deliverance (Day 439)

It's funny how fast things can change in eighteen days. It's funny how quickly a love can rekindle in one's heart. From the outside no one would recognize any difference. Circumstances haven't changed, nothing has changed, but at the same time something must have. Where along those eighteen days did The Lord of Heaven and Earth start molding my heart like a Potter molds his clay, I don't know? But I sense that warmth again. That desire to be only His. That feeling of having a captured soul is freeing. I belong to Him, I am His.

Being Human (Day 421)

Well today's blessing was unexpected. I laugh at myself for this one. I was given a book by a friend that  I've read here and there. My heart has been telling me to read it but once I get into my apartment I usually find something else I'd rather do. It's strange how I've been pulled to read it every day. As I'm doing those tasks that I think are more important, I keep remembering the book and how I should continue to read it. Today I finally picked it back up and right off the bat I realized what I was supposed to see.

Unchurched (Day 420)

Once again I find myself up way past my bedtime. I don't understand why I do this to myself. I enjoy going to bed around ten so why have I been staying up? Well, honestly I don't have an answer except maybe just a bad habit I'm forming. The only upside is tomorrow I don't work in the morning so instead of sleeping I'm writing in here.

Mindful Rest (Day 418)

I really don't have a good excuse at why I haven't written. I'm actually not as busy as I normally am.. at least with work. Now I'm just getting to catch up on all of the things I didn't get to do during swim season. My blessing for today, and really this week, is and has been stillness. I've had more time to just be still in the past week than I've had since I moved here.
