Day 8

8! My lucky number! My favorite number!
Today was devoted to finishing the audio CD I'm currently listening to, "Crazy/Love" by Francis Chen. Such a radical perspective that every Christian should hear!!!!! We need to live our lives, fully believing that Christ could come back at ANY moment....and how do we want our last moments spent? Such a thought-provoking, convicting book. I hope that I have the guts to actually do what the Lord tells me when He tells me what I need to do.
I was also able to minister to my little sister, "Dayle". She's going through PSR for her church right now, and I truly think that Catholicism is not the right move for her- she's just honoring what her father wants for her....I was able to talk to her a little bit today about her beliefs, and I realized that she really, really wants answers. PSR classes aren't bringing her closer with the Lord...they are just teaching her doctrine. I feel convicted to share with her some of the devotionals I am reading, and to buy her her own devotional from the bookstore...I don't want to interfere with her father's wishes, but I really feel compelled to get "Dayle" on the path to having conversations with God. Her mother agrees with me. I'm truly thankful that I can be open about my faith with my friends- and at work too. It's nice when I walk into my boss' office and hear Chris Tomlin playing. It's wonderful that I get to include my Savior in my everyday speech- it's how it should be!!!
Tomorrow is my long day. I really want to make it a point to start the day in prayer- I wanted to this morning and I failed because I didn't allow enough time. In addition to my nightly prayer and devotional I want to start making QT for God during the day. I make it a point to bring my Bible with me everyday to work but I never end up pulling it out. Its something to be prepared, and I understand I need to work. But sharing Christ is more important. It's vital.
