today, i went to the gym and did some stuff for schools that i'm applying to for the fall. i also talked to some ladies that i used to work with. after that, i went up to the school and waited for caroline and chaley and then we all went to the FCA banquet. The food was really good and it was a lot of fun, but it was the football coach at toombs that really made me think about something. there was a verse that he referenced that i cannot recall, but anyway it talks about glasses being empty and being full. and the problem is that we focus on the full glass. on what we have and the things that will fade and have no eternal value. this is a problem because it causes us to lose sight of the cup that is empty, on the one that is yet to be filled, and the one whose place is in Heaven. That really convicted me because i know there are so many times in my own life where my focus isn't on Heavenly treasures, but on earthly toys. On things that will fade away, not things that will last forever. I just need to remember that more often, and hold myself accountable to that. Because it is easy to get caught up, but easy isn't an excuse.
prayer for others:
1. caroline- she's dealing with some family stuff and the Lord is just giving her a chance to make a choice and just listen for Him. And i pray that she would just be open to allow Him to work in whichever medium He chooses and that she would make the best of what He allows and bring Him glory in that.
2. ashley is fasting tomorrow to prepare for mrs. kathy's mission trip to liberia. so i just ask that you would give her strength tomorrow in order to resist food and instead of a desire for that that she would just have a dependence on the Lord. Also, Mrs. Bill is sick and it's just not a good time for that. So i just pray that the Lord would heal Him if it's His will.
prayer for me: just pray. it's always needed. ALWAYS.
