Yep that's right people, two more Bible books down. I finished Deuteronomy on Saturday and I finished the book of James today. I was becoming a little discouraged with Deuteronomy just because it was so long and tedious, however James was the perfect pick me up!!! We are studying this book in my college class this semester and so getting to read it on my own was so neat. God really tugged at my heart while reading James and pointed out all some stuff I need to be working on. Just by reading over James these past two days I have realized that I need to be more positive when talking about people, especially when I am frustrated, and I need to praise God in faith. Praising in faith means to give it all up to God and praise him for anything and everything no matter what. He is so good to me and I am not thanking him enough!!!! Tomorrow I am back in the Old Testament with the book of Joshua. It is not nearly as long or as complicated at Deuteronomy so I am happy with that.
Another note about Bible reading. I am no longer going to give day by day captions of what books and verses I have read. I found it kind of boring typing it all out so it sure must have been boring to read. However, I encourage you to check out the website where I got my Bible reading plan from. It is called Discipleship Journal and it is pretty awesome ( check it out at http://www.navpress.com/dj/). It has multiple types of reading plans, from the 365 day plan like mine, to book by book reading plans. You can find the perfect one that fits into your lifestyle.
One more really cool thing to share. At least I thought it was really cool. I went home over the weekend and my parents and I went out to eat Chinese food. After we were done we received our fortune cookies and we all picked the one we wanted to open. Mom and dad surprisingly got the exact same fortune. It was actually kind of funny. However, mine was ironically awesome. Check out the picture below. I really hope this fortune is right and it will one day come true. I am saving this and getting it laminated next time I go home. HOW COOL!!!!!
I hope that everybody's Monday is going swell and it is not too hectic like Mondays normally are. Just 4 more days until the weekend and relaxation. Speaking of numbers...only 60 days, that's 2 months, until PASSPORT. I am super stoked and have a countdown on my calendar. This summer is going to be so much fun and so exciting and I can not wait to see what the Lord has in store for me. Please pray that all will go well and that I can be a strong Christly example to all the kids and young adults that will be attending the camp. I pray that everybody stays safe and enjoys this wonderful warm and DRY weather we are having today. Stop and spend some time with God today, he is the one who will make your journey blessed :)
