I like how God is serious about things when you get serious about things.
I prayed just this morning that he would send someone into my life to love on and show them his love. I believe he answered that prayer tonight by letting me be with someone as she surrendered her life to him. It was precious. There are no certain set of words that one has to say for the surrendering to take place. They just have to say what they mean and he sees their heart and the transformation begins.
I felt like he was telling me to jump in and teach her more about him. So, that's what I'm going to do. I haven't done this before but I know he will give me the words to say and it will all come in his timing. I guess it's a form of discipleship and I want to put my own learning into action, not for myself, but for him and for her. She said she wants a personal relationship with Jesus like she's heard other people talk about. I know it can happen without being taught. Relationships happen and grow in their different ways. But how cool would it be to be taught how to have an awesome love relationship with God? That's how it should be! Not forced. Taught. Not scripted. Loved in real life.
I'm excited!
I'm already playing 'catch up' with my homework. I'm not terribly behind but if I wait too much longer I'm going to be hurting. Physics isn't that hard but if I don't keep up I will be miserable. Trying to find a good balance for everything going on is tough. I'll probably get in a good flow by December. Ha! Hayden's schedule is pretty steady throughout the day but his nights are somewhat unpredictable so I really don't know how much sleep I'm going to get and if I'll be able to get my day started with Isaiah and Makenna or not. I wouldn't say it's tough but I would say it's challenging. When I was 18 I remember saying that I needed a good schedule to keep up with things and I didn't really have anything going on then except school. Now that I've added all these other things, I stick with that statement more than anything.
Now, enough blogging, it's time to get some assignments checked off.
