DAY 162
going along with the theme of actually seeing one of my ideas happen for realsies, today’s challenge is to enlist help. Seeing a challenge all the way through needs some sort of accountablity aspect within it or else it doesn’t ever happen. So far, my friend Rach has graciously offered some of her time. If any of you guys are fantastic at making posters, let me know ! I’d...
DAY 161
It truly does seem that I do my best thinking while I’m at work. People don’t really like talking for too long with the lifeguard, which can be a huge bummer. Anyways, this morning, I was walking around the pool, doing my lifeguard thing, when I thought about all the awesome things I’m going to do in the Fall and when I graduate and such. Well, the summer hasn’t started...
DAY 160
today’s challenge is to be more open to other people’s ideas.
Sometimes I find myself shutting out suggestions of friends who have great & pure & godly intentions & I just judge & say no. Which is completely unfair to a) my friends who are trying to reach out & do God’s work b) to God who is trying to reach out & do work through my friends and eventually...
DAY 159
this morning started out pretty normal : woke up, wanted to fall back to sleep immediately, but instead went to work. It’s what happened at work that changed my view of things.
I was sitting there in the guard chair watching people swim back & forth a bajillion times & a really sad break up song started playing on the radio. It made me sad because of my recentI break up. But...

DAY 158
I’ve been reading my way through Genesis to truly understand the history of the great things God has done. I’ve realized that a lot of these things repeat so much over time.
I just read of how Lot had lived so long amoung the ungodly that when God sent angels to rescue Lot & his family from the impending destruction, some of the people within his family didn’t believe him.

DAY157
today’s challenge was service
I feel like I did a small part of that today - it was our final night of dinner theater & I helped with the meal & stepped in as a server last minute (which is something I’m not a big fan of being) & all sorts of fun stuff like that.
Tonight, I definitely am planning on spending some time in prayer & just thanking God for all of the...
DAY 156
have you ever woke up & thought “today is a day to plant some seeds”
not in a gardening way, but in a “seeds for Jesus” way. That’s how I woke up this morning. Here’s why:
When I feel like my life has 1000 directions it’s going in all at the same moment & I don’t know what any of them are, or if my goals are too far away to reach (like I...

Demiurge
meaning : the creator of the world
the true demiurge is God Almighty
DAY 155
the photo that says “if your dreams don’t scare you, you’re not dreaming big enough” really got me this morning.
Think about it, are you living life well within your comfort zone, or are you stepping on lines & out in open scary spaces?
I feel as though lately I’ve been attempting to break free from my comfort zone. My dream is to become a doctor (which is a...

DAY 154
I’ve always had a hard time being myself around people because I just want to impress people. I have always been mature for my age, so I would impress people with how well mannered I was as a kid & polite & blah blah blah.
Today I need to strip myself of that pride & need to impress others. I’m in a play for my church. It’s a promotion for the camp I’ve worked...

I have a very different view of beauty now.. I used to think of it as someone with the perfect smile, faultless teeth, someone with an amazing body. But now? I’ve come to realize beauty really does come from the heart, from your soul. You’re the most beautiful person I have ever known and ever…
DAY 153
last night was incredible. Sometimes, when I’m falling asleep, I’ll get kind of sad about anything that has ever broken my heart & then I just can’t sleep.
That almost happened last night, but I realized it was the Enemy just trying to crush me, to bring me down & yes, those things have broken my heart & still hurt to this day, but I don’t need to let them make...
DAY 152
today is the holiday ! & I have great plans for this day. I am about to leave & pick up an old boyfriend & go out to coffee with him. We’re going to catch up & hopefully regain our old friendship. I hurt him a lot & I’m terrified to bring it up & I’m sure he doesn’t want to talk about it, but I pray that if it is the right thing for me to do...
DAY 151
disciplining my time has been a huge eye opener ! I really want to continue with these weekly themes because it allows me to dig even deeper into the lessons God keeps trying to teach me.
This week is to break down my pride & break away from the ridiculous societal constructs I have held so high in my life.
Today’s challenge is to stop restricting my love & kindness to the...

DAY 150
only 200 more days ! these challenges have been fun & sometimes challenging to stick with. But I’m pressing on !
today’s challenge is to discipline my heart FOR GOD.
guys, I fall a lot. My heart finds its way to things it shouldn’t. I no longer want to be addicted to a certain kind of sadness, to a certain kind of love. This heart needs to be TORN open. For God...
DAY 149
today’s challenge :
discipline my time.
I need to reevaluate the way I spend my life. It’s a gift that I’m wasting away to the things of this world. This weekend, I’m going out to the summer camp that I work at during the summer & we’re doing some maintenance stuff. Putting in docks, sanding down cabins, etc. I get to do it with an awesome group of people...
DAY 148
Today’s challenge is to discipline my mouth. I have said many many hurtful things & yesterday I was a huge thunder cloud around my family. I am aiming to always be pleasant and positive and all that stuff with my words & actions. I don’t want to be a negative nancy ever again !
So I pray that God would help me learn to guard my mouth so that I may be a blessing.
DAY 147
Today’s challenge is to discipline my body in the sense of food. Our bodies are temples & I don’t think that we all actually get the point 100%. I know I sure don’t. I try to exercise & stay healthy & keep care of my body, but I don’t always eat the best foods. I’m lactose intolerant & yet I demand on eating cheese and ice cream in huge amounts,...
