This morning I woke up, and I have started saying my morning prayers while driving to the gym. I thanked my daddy for blessing me with all of his greatfulness, for putting people in my life, and for walking this journey with me.
After the gym I changed my facebook status to:
I am learning how to be intentional! I intentionally get up at 5:30 to work out at 7. I Intentionally eat healthy so that I can have sustained energy all day. I do not intentionally spend money or procrastinate...Lord, help me be more intentional!
I talked to Rebekah about her growth group tonight.
The first going deeper question is "How disciplined are you?" She decided that it was too broad of a question, so she asked her group to give a rating for how discipline they are in their faith with Jesus Christ. To answer this question, on a 1- 10 scale I would say that I am at a 5. At times I feel that I am extremely obedient and at other times I falter and let my obsessions over take my body. I am going to take the next 7 weeks and try to get my 5 to be a 10, so that in the long run my ultimate healing will be a 5.5. Healing takes time.
Today, God blessed me. God made his will ultimately known to me. I was in my office working on some homework, when I received a phone call that has changed my life. The person on the other end of the phone was the scholarship and award officer for the college of education at FSU. He informed me that I was recommended for a scholarship. I didn't believe him. I asked what I had to do to obtain the scholarship. I asked how it was possible. He informed me that one of the deans said that I deserved the money. This is a complete act of Gods grace.
This financial help from God is not a supplement in helping me with my bills. I am not sure what this money is intended for, but God has a plan for using the money in my life. God has something big planned. I must be obedient to his will, and listen to him. Like Pastor Mark said on Sunday, we don't want to get wrapped up in the good things when we could be missing out on the best thing. Whatever the best thing is that God has planned for me, I must be ready to go. I must live like a pauper and prepare my body, mind, and soul for accomplishing a mission that is yet unknown.
My facebook status is now:
God you are higher than any other! Thank you loving me today and always! If you ask, God will provide. He is more merciful than ever. Power to the peaceful, because He is peace!
