:bulb: Reflection for today

I had a wonderful day today. I didn’t do nothing at all. Just used the time mostly to reflect. I have been taking time today to reflect on what to do with my time now that I am out of this habit.

:handshake: Motivational Verse

Hebrews 4:12 (KJV) For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Today was good, I’m actively controlling what I see and catching myself when I feel myself going in the wrong direction. I just finished a part of a consecration book that says today’s virtue to focus on is perseverance, and to just keep showing up no matter how I feel. This is something we can all apply to this mission.

Day 14

Ok day.

Daily Bible reading

Productivity - I went to visit my Mom today, and spent a good bit of time working on job application materials. Finally got something done I have been procrastinating on a little.

Exercise - again, no. I wanted to get this job application done.

Feeling a little more spiritually engaged today. It’s difficult to gauge, I suppose, but I enjoyed listening to sermons on the radio more today than I have lately.

I was thinking to myself that I don’t seem to have time to be outdoors or to exercise as much as I used to, and I realized I’m losing a lot of time to the internet. I allow myself to get so distracted when I try to do other things, and I want to focus on cutting out this time wasting. I’m still thinking of disconnecting my home internet and just finding public WiFi when I need it.

Day 15

Today is interesting. I’ve told myself that I’m going to ask this girl out tonight when I see her, and my mind is going crazy. I’m finding that my confidence is struggling today, and I’m not very good with talking/dating. I know this isn’t a dating forum, but that’s truly where my mind has been all day. I’m looking forward to the night with friends later. I’m not doing much else today as my arm got kind of re-injured and I’m really trying to take it easier for it

:bulb: Reflection for today

I have been thinking about the past and I need to let it go. My past is past and it’s time to move on. My most honourable thing to do now is be cleansed from the past and make do with the future.

:handshake: Motivational Verse

Ezekiel 36:25 (KJV) Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.*

Day 15

Decent day today. I got up at a reasonable time so I could spend more time with my Mother on her birthday. Came back to my apartment later and prepared for my trip (leaving early Monday morning).

Daily Bible reading

Productivity

Exercise - missed this again. But I didn’t have a lot of free time today, and since my upcoming trip will involve a lot of hard outdoor activity, I figured I wouldn’t worry about it too much.

[/] Cutting back on random, needless internet distraction. I think I was somewhat successful at this today.

Feeling a little more engaged with God. Anyway, I was more into my Bible study than I have been for a while.

Today has been a wonderful day. I mostly sat around doing nothing and later on started praying for @mphexpert because he has fallen. I pray that he gets back to where he left off. God bless you Brother.
Thank you Brother for this challenge.

Zephaniah 1:12 (KJV) And it shall come to pass at that time, that I will search Jerusalem with candles, and punish the men that are settled on their lees: that say in their heart, The LORD will not do good, neither will he do evil.

Studied the Bible early this morning. Today I did some exercise and did some work around the house. Prayer meditated for about 15 minutes today. Then watched movies all day

Day 17

Guys I did it. I finally pulled through and asked someone out. Even though we were already friends, I was extremely nervous, and I’m sure she could tell I was nervous (embarrassingly), but she said yes. I hate that I let it get to my head and relapse days ago, but I can’t look back anymore. I’m praying that I can have more confidence going into something like this

I am fully aware that a relationship is not a cure for this issue, but I couldn’t let myself wait and miss any chance I had. I will continue this fight and stay focused.

I worked overtime today so I didn’t have as much time for daily goals

Day 18

Great day, I dedicated my 30 minute commute to prayer, and listened to numerous Bible study podcasts. I’m feeling myself grow more curious in scriptures again. And I stopped by my church near my house before getting home this evening to sit with the Lord.

Day 19, or so

Sorry I haven’t been checking in. I caught a train at 3:05am Monday morning and traveled for about 31 hours straight to visit my Dad. It has been a very busy week. I’m afraid I have slacked a lot on the Bible reading (still trying to read every day, but not like I was). Hopefully I will get back on track.

Day 19 check in

I had a beautiful day. Ended with a men’s group gathering this evening and had a priest educate everyone on the sanctity on matrimony. It really opened my eyes to what I should be looking for in life and how to go about it. I then got to speak to numerous guys who are devoted to Christ, and I was able to bring my Grandpa along. I did my usual prayer time this morning and Bible study as well. I feel good

Day 20-21 check in

Didn’t check in yesterday, I had a date, and it went really well in my opinion. I could feel my low self esteem beginning to kick in, but I don’t think it was noticable. Everything is going well and my prayer life is improving.
