Romans

Most days here are the same at project, not nights, but days. I get up every morning at 7 and do some kind of cardio, I get in the word, I go to work, and then I go to the gym. It's just about the same schedule everyday. I like that. I have a very disciplined and scheduled person. Every night is different, the weeks structure is the same and each night holds its new adventure for us to follow. After work we did a group picture, for project. Can you imagine trying to get 100 college kids at one place in a specific height order, yes it was difficult, and also fun. Wednesday nights are set up for group dates. What group dates are, is generally a guys room of 4-5 will ask out a girls room of 4-5 and you all go do something fun. It is a great way to get to meet everyone on project and it makes it fun. I think it is also good practice for interacting with Christians of the opposite sex. Needless to say, group dates are pretty fun. You can go roller skating, put put, pottery painting, dinner, kayaking, snorkeling, the possibilities are endless. Last night was not an official group date, but 17 of us headed out to dinner, and because of such a large group we had to split up. So my self and 4 girls decided to go to buffalo wild wings. It made for a fun dinner. Just to let you curious people know, neither I nor Natalie are the jealous type and we both enjoy group dates very much. She didn't get to do one last night because she had to be in at work at burger king before 5am, so she was in bed early last night. The Bible study I did recently was on Romans 8:14-17, it explains how we are sons of God and heirs to God. My newly learned technique is after going over your selected verses, read over the chapter you are reading from. Kind of like it's good to know what is before and after to fully understand. Well, Romans 8:31 popped up again. This verse was the verse I read the night before project and has reveled it self to me at project 4 different times. The second half of the verse says, "If God is for us, who can be against us?"If you really think about this verse it is not only SO powerful, but encouraging. I get pumped when I read it, it makes me feel invincible. Because in reality we are. You should honestly live every day in no fear because of this single verse. What do you have to be afraid of.... death? Why? In death is eternal life in perfection with your Holy Father. The question is not simply, who can be against us? It is saying GOD IS FOR US, who can be against us? Isn't that just encouraging. I think God keeps putting this verse into my summer to give me strength, to show me that I have nothing to fear. Start off everyday really thinking and believing that verse and see how it changes you day. Keep up the prayers, they are definitely working.

Serving Him,

Daniel
