July 22, 2010

Dear my blog,
Today I ate ribs and rice for breakfast and vowed to myself that I would go to the gym during my lunch hour, skip out on eating and run 2 miles.

Lunch time came around and I ended up driving home to finish off the ribs I didn’t finish in the morning. I didn’t even drink any water. I just ate, felt like finishing off the stuffed feeling with an ice cream bar and laid down on my sofa to catch a quick nap before heading back to work. Before completely falling asleep, I felt myself drooling as I started to doze off…then the phone rang, and I had 10 minutes to get back to work. I had the best 15 minutes of sleep before being awakened by my phone. Blog, I hate being awakened when in the middle of a good nap, but it was needed. God had a purpose for the phone call.

One of my friends called and asked me if I can accompany him to a youth rehab center, where his brother was serving a court order stay. He refuses and argues with me every time I ask him about seeking God in his life, but I guess he feels like maybe his brother may be in need of this God I testify of. I’m going to visit him on Friday, I just hope God will be with me and that I can be of use for his glory. Blog, thank you for providing me, a canvas where I can express and paint a picture of the weak spiritual life and daily conflict I am subjected to by the world. This world will not defeat me because I have a promise and a God who will be there for me, if only I can truly become reliant and submissive to the inner principles engraved in my heart by Jesus and the scriptures.

Till next time Blog.
