Day 46

On this beautiful Saturday morning I am currently sitting at a Starbucks about to go to work. My coffee tastes exactly as it should and I had a somewhat productive prayer in the car. I woke up at 6:30 because a bunch of guys were working on our roof. I made my bed, did my devotional, put makeup on, all by 8 a.m this morning, I also made myself a delicious coffee this morning so this second coffee feels almost unnecessary. However, it made my morning. Today I have work like every Saturday, (I quit my job so I am learning to love every moment until I leave). Then there is is this workshop for remnant teen talent, I am praying for my dancers. Then the cherry on top of the whole day is the Barbie party I will be attending tonight. I have been looking forward to this day since I was invited. Although I will look nothing like a barbie I am exited to wear my purple pants. I want to get into the habit of writing out all of the things that make me happy in avoidance of the heaviness I have been...

October

 Today I watched the first episode of the Chosen season 2 and I cried again. It is a blessing to view how good the lord was to people who felt like they didn't deserve it, and in my book none of us deserve it. But he does, because he loves. Yesterday I was coming home exhausted out of my mind and wanted to watch a movie, but I can't because I'm fasting. I respected the fast and watched the chosen, and I am so glad I did. Not only did I get a good night's rest, but I went to sleep EARLY, which isn't a common occurrence. That was a true blessing. I am writing this as a reminder for me to not fall into the temptation of watching movies, this is the important part. Keep fighting it. There is something coming. Soph West Side Story
