Day 2

Whew. Today was a long day. Started off great, singing Hungry(Falling on my knees). Felt like it was appropriate. AND it fit the entire day. It was tough staying strong. I had to keep on reminding myself that there is a *insert cheesy cliche here*. I left early to visit Daniel and Heidi Hicks at the hospital. Got to experience new life seeing a newborn baby. We prayed for them as a family before we left. It was all around an amazing morning! However, as the day went on, it got harder. Satan kept throwing opportunities to slip up, give in, and indulge myself. Over and over again. But I had people encouraging me throughout the day, which meant a lot. Had a meeting today where some TOUGH questions were asked. For instance, the age old question: What are you doing for the next 5 years of your life? Heard it a lot. The only answer I can come up with is following where God leads. Today, big questions were asked. A big reason why I'm doing this week is to seek wisdom and guidance for these questions. Tomorrow, I am going to make it my goal to follow through with Joshua 1:8-9.

Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. ⁹ Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go."
