Another Day

Tonights blog will probably be shorter than most. Not yesterday, but the day before we finally got in our new study Bibles. They were optional and $20, probably the best $20 I have spent here on project. I HIGHLY recommend getting one. They offer you so many cross references and other sorts of advice. it gives you other verses to look up and compare and explains things. The last two days I have spent over an hour each time in the word. Reading scripture and looking up other passages while taking down so many good notes to eventually reflect on. Wednesdays are set up for group dates, this is where our room asks out another girls room on project and we all go on a date, they are fun. Tonight we took out Angela's room which Natalie, my girlfriend, is in. We went to a place called the Pottery Barn where you pick out a piece of pottery to paint and they eventually bake it for you and you pick it up a few days later. All nine of us grabbed a piece and went to work. Natalie and I shared a coffee mug, and had a really fun time painting it. We agreed on several colors and put our names on it and a verses on the side. It was a great half of the date. Then we all went out to dinner at Carrabbas. It ended up being a really great night. I then got to read a good portion of this amazing book called "Lone Survivor." It is not a Christian book, but it is an amazing book. Mainly geared for guys, but I recommend reading it. I then had a great conversation with my little brother Aaron. We talked for 30 min just now and it was real encouraging. He told me how he has been reading my blogs and how good they have been and how different I seemed. Even though he is my little brother I still hold his opinion very high. He is the smart one of the family and is much smarter than I will ever be, but it is nice to hear him impressed with my writing. He told me something that made me smile, he said, "Man Daniel, you are a different person, it's like whole new Daniel." I thought that was pretty cool, it is also a good thing. He has seen me in my ups and downs, my highs and lows. I got to give him a lot of good advice. He is going to call me tomorrow to talk some more. He also said that he might be calling me more for accountability. I think this is awesome, I can be a big brother who gives good Godly advice. I am thankful for all the opportunities God has given me this summer, and the growth that I have developed in Him. Please pray that I can continue to grow and be a beacon of light, for God's glory alone.

Serving Him,

Daniel
