7 Day Challenge - Day 6

Almost home on the challenge. It's been tough over the weekend to keep up with the routine.

PRAY I have prayed, but sparingly. I prayed that God will keep Lauran and Elizabeth Anne healthy and safe.
READ I read in 1 Peter 4. There is so much in this chapter that I am going to stay in it for a couple of days. Verse 1 says, "So then, Christ suffered physical pain, you must arm yourselves with the same attitude he had, and be ready to suffer, too. For if you are willing to suffer for Christ, you have decided to stop sinning." I don't think I wake up in the morning with the attitude like, "Ok I am ready to suffer like Jesus did on the cross today!" But the Bible tells us to arm yourselves with this attitude. Are we prepared to face our battles, temptations, struggles in life with this same intensity? The intensity that says, "temptor, you are going to have to nail me to a cross to get me to do that or say that!" I prayed for that kind of attitude and strength to face life.
HANG OUT WITH FRIENDS I am starting to get a complex.
TELL SOMEONE ABOUT GOD Not yet...

Jimmy P,

Don't beat yourself up about not telling anyone about God. Because you're new to the world of blogging, I'll forgive you. :)

More people than you know are reading this blog. Just the fact you are telling them and "the world" about your life and your challenge is inspiring and telling many people everyday about the Lord.

Think of it this way. When we read the Bible, we are reading the writings of men and women who lived thousands of years ago. Their words are still touching our lives today. You're doing the same thing here. You are witnessing through your "words" on your blog. Sharing God with someone doesn't necessarily mean you have to physically talk to them. You are virtually talking to many right now. This means you have shared God with someone every day for your seven day challenge rather than none.

Keep up the good work. You're inspring me.

P.S. Writing this comment reminded me of the many late nights me, you and Parks spent in Tuscaloosa contemplating our existence...
