Hey God,
Today I went to work. It was amazing. I loved it, for the most part. I love being outside in the work wasn’t bad. It got long towards the end, but it was a long day.
Anyway, I came home and wasted my time. I force myself to sleep which I am really mad about because I told myself I couldn’t play the drums. I wish I had played them. I love playing them so much, they make my day better. I wish I had used my time better. I want to fill my time with productive things. God, when I’m home, let me remember the plenty there is to do. I can play my drums, read, write my movie, spend time with you. These are all great things to do after work. Remind me of them tomorrow.
Our trip to the cottage is starting this Sunday. I would like to have a meeting with everyone going like we did before spring break and talk about how we can make this experience all about you.
I’m sure that most of them are already planning individually that this is a God trip, but it’s great to come together and talk. Then we’ll have your blessing from the beginning. I’ll call redacted tomorrow and see if a meeting can be arranged. Please, let us grow closer as friends over the time at my cottage. Help us grow closer to you and learn more about you and maybe how you are at work in our lives. Let us be honest with each other and engaging real friendship. If anyone is struggling, let us be the support they need. Be with us and guide our actions. Keep us safe and of course, come with us. I don’t want to go if you’re not coming. Thanks.
Bless tomorrow at work. I’m dreading going only because I wasted my time after work today. Let my actions at work on our you. I love how I can do that with this job. You can come with me tomorrow that would be great. I loved having you to talk with. You make everything better. Tomorrow we’ll probably be a long day, so help me through it without despair. And thank you for getting me this job. It’s such a blessing and I could not ask for a better job ( other than making a movie). I love it. Thank you so much for the amazing job. You know what a drag it is to be stuck at Mr. burger or Citco (for redacted). I’m glad that my job does not have that burden bearing down on me. It’s wonderful. Help me to keep that in mind. Oh and engage my mind tomorrow. Give me things to ponder and ways to show your love. Yeah, work will be all right, probably great. I’m glad that I’m forced not to waste my time. How amazing. I can’t thank you enough for the job. Maybe I won’t feel that way tomorrow, but oh well. Things worked out.

Let me reflect on The Purpose Driven Life now…
Points:
- I’m not an accident
- God planned all of me for his purpose before I was even born
- God shows every single detail of my body
- he dreamed my talents and personality
- if there were no God we would all be accidents
- God created the Earth for us to live on
- the only accurate way to understand ourselves is by what God is and by what he does for us
This message has so much hope, but I’m iffy about the idea that God predetermined my personality. But we are born with personality traits that don’t change much over time, as psychology has shown us. Okay, so God gave us those personality traits, but our lives were not fully predetermined. We are shaped by the environment as well and can step out of our personality traits to do things because of our free will. God does not control that. If God controls freewill, it would not exist. We would not be free. It’s cool that God made me who I am. It’s nice that he can choose my personality quirks for me, but I can still change them. We understand ourselves by what God is and by what he does for us? We can never understand God fully. I don’t understand this statement.
Here’s a good point I missed…
- We discover meaning and purpose only when we make God the reference point in our lives
I’m excited about learning more about that purpose as the days go on. I wish I could read ahead, but I won’t. I signed the one a day for a full 40 days agreement. I really did.
