Work Day

Normally when I don't write my blog the night before it is because the internet is down, otherwise I write my blog. Last night was not the case, I was just too tired and I went to bed. My roommate and best friend here on project is guy by the name of Josh Painter. He is leaving this morning, so yesterday was his last day. What better way to spend it then playing 18 holes. I called the day before and set up a T time for 8 o'clock. After playing a great round of 18 holes, we came back and had lunch. His girlfriend got off of work early so that they could hang out. So I wasn't going to miss a workout, and I went to the gym. Normally I go in the morning, but like I said, we had golf. Anyways I had a great workout and was just exhausted by the time I got back to my room. Natalie had been back from work for about an hour, so she was laying down for a quick nap. I had earlier spent some good quality time in the Word with God, after lunch and before I went to the gym. I had some questions on some things, so naturally I went to my dad. He had a lot of good insight and he was able to answer some of my questions. He is a very wise person when it comes to the scripture and knowledge of Christ. Once Natalie got up from her nap me and her sat outside of her room. We were talking about the Bible and we got on the discussion of predestination and free will. Her room leader Angela come out and next door neighbor Erica. We did not all agree on things, but it was such a great talk. No one got heated or in an argument. It was just a really good discussion, not a debate. No ones feelings got hurt, and we were able to get one another's perspective. Natalie and I really enjoyed this. After we all were done I had to hurry and scarf down some dinner, because we had work to do tonight. Usually Wednesdays are set aside for free nights to go out on group dates, enjoy your roommates and friends here on project. They had set up time from 6:30 on to help out one of the churches who had been gracious enough to let us use their facility. I wasn't happy about it, but I had a servants heart and was ready to do some work. Before we got there I was saying how there is over 80 of us and that they are not going to have enough work for us all to do. How most of the guys will be working and the girls will be standing around. Boy was I wrong! We moved about 100 rooms and carried thousands of objects up, down, and around the entire facility. It had a school attached to it and we worked till 9:30. And I mean worked, hard labor, I was soaked to the bone with sweat. After we got back Josh and his girlfriend Shelby and Natalie and I took a very quick beach walk for Josh's last night. We had all gotten close because no females and males can hang out alone past 7 pm. So we enjoyed each others company these past 5 weeks or so. After that it was to the room for bed, or so I thought. Since it was Josh's last night, all of us guys thought that we had to have one last card game. So we stayed up for about an hour and played cards. It was fun, but I was exhausted. So I went to bed. As I am writing this blog Josh is packing up now and I will soon help him carry his stuff to his car and send him on his way. I thank God for putting Josh in my life these past few weeks, and we are definitely going to stay in touch. Please pray for safety on the road today for Josh. Please pray for me and the room who are going to miss Josh, and his girlfriend too.

Serving Him,

Daniel
