Lord Jesus Christ
I think I'll change this journal entry to be more a 'morning' journal than an 'evening' journal. It's way easier for me to want to spend time in the morning doing it.
I've been so sick the last two or three days. Today is the first day where I felt like getting out of bed. I slept a lot yesterday (Monday) and Sunday... Saturday was a struggle, but I pulled through the service, thanks to God's grace.
I've been singing a new melody lately, "Lord Jesus Christ, Lamb of God, have mercy on me, the sinner." That mantra has been going through my mind a lot and I try to wake with it on my lips first thing. I think this sort of approach to spirituality really focuses the mind, much more than trying to establish the discipline of Bible reading or prayer. It's easy to do, it's a re-programming of your brain, and it's not really self-indulgent, or something to feel 'proud' about... like Bible reading, with it's failure/success temptation.
My chest muscles are a bit achey today, maybe the carry-over of whatever it was that I was struggling with physically. I hope it completely goes away, because I hate being sick. Who likes it, though, right?
I met a lady dropping Seth off this morning, Lana (Layna), who is a new kindergarten teacher at Loughborough, and lives on Brewery street. She seemed really nice-- I pray, Lord, that should you desire it, you will draw her to you and use us for that should it be your will.
Anyway, that's the entry for today. Thanks be to God.
