4 o’clock calls. Speedwork tomorrow.
Sometimes I’d just rather be training for a spelling bee or something. Seriously. :-)
Today was chore day. I cleaned up my room quite nicely. I had let a couple too many water bottles stack up. Guess it’s better than beer bottles! ;-)
Reading is going well. And my small group is challenging me to go behind and study deeper. No TV ever came on in this room tonight.
My mom helped so much today, moving around some of my laundry and making me some dinner. A busy boy relishes in those minutes.
I read about Jacob wrestling with God. He wrestled him through the night. Until daybreak. God asked him what his name was. That was important as it described his character. Then God gave Jacob the name Israel, which means God fights. God wrestled with Jacob at a crossroads for him, as he reentered the promised land, afraid for his life. God wrestled with him, and then God gave him a promise and a name.
I feel pretty empty quite regularly right now. It kinda sucks. But God fights for me. I’m hoping this is a crossroads, where I will wrestle with God, and I will get a name and a promise. That would be really awesome.
Can you look back and see that time for you? No? Ahead? No? Right now? Who knows???
