 Today we did an assignment on Newsela.

I got two out of four quiz questions correct in the article, and I'm concerned that my grade will go down a noticeable amount because of this. I hope Mr. Rease is lenient with weighing the quiz grade for this assignment... but praise the Triune God regardless.

I've been having a great morning so far. We recently had some brothers from the church in Boston come for a blending trip (A trip to see and blend with the Body of Christ in localities around the U.S.) and I said goodbye to the one that was awake this morning, Josh. Lord, strengthen Josh today through Your Spirit into his inner man (Eph. 3:16). My dad let me skip school yesterday to hang out with those saints and we had a great time; I showed them my Paul song too. 

I had a great time with the Lord this morning. In my daily devotional I read about focusing on only enjoying the Lord rather than worrying about our situations; the more that we worry about things to the Lord, the less quickly He takes care of them. The reading gave an example of the story of Martha and Lazarus, where Martha kept worrying and trying to do something and explain things to the Lord about Lazarus, which only prevented the Lord and delayed His coming to revive Lazarus and recover the situation. We need to just enjoy the riches of the Lord and forget about all of our worries. We need to just call on His name and let Him intercede for us with His own prayers (Rom. 8:26-27). This is truly effortless and utmost enjoyable way to be a Christian. 

Praise You, Lord, You are so enjoyable and it's so easy to contact You in our spirit, just by calling Your sweet name. O Lord Jesus!

Today we had a substitute teacher and I came in pretty late, but we were given an assignment about the Vietnam war to do in Commonlit, which I've still yet to start on.  I learned more rules about level three lockdowns because we had to do a drill during this class period. I liked this class, but I wish we didn't have to sit in the corner for so long for the lockdown. I would have got much more work done. Jesus is God! I love enjoying God.

 Today we started on a presentation about "A Devoted Son." We got a lot of work done in the long class. I had to battle my OCD because the fonts were all over the place from the theme that I set, and many other formatting things were inconsistent in the presentation while/after we worked on it. I have a problem with taking over too much in group projects because my OCD so strongly wants everything to be my orderly way. I think that I've somewhat overcome this. I kept the weird non-theme-fitting font, but I had to at least make every slide's font the same. I hope we get a good grade on this assignment! O Lord Jesus, how I need You today. Lord, don't let me forget about Your sweet name and Your life-giving Spirit that I can breathe in simply by calling out to You.

 Today I came in a bit late and we were going over two poems, and then answered questions about them on canvas for the rest of class. I wish I came in earlier, because the first poem was called "The Lamb" and it was pretty Biblical; it was about the Lord Jesus but it was very hard to follow. I don't think God made me with a poetry-keen brain, which I am completely fine with. I had some great fellowship with Mr. Rease about the poems and in general about God's predestination and such.  This is the last assignment of the day that I need to get done and it's 3:09; school is about to end. I love doing my schoolwork here because I can go home and enjoy the Lord without Him reminding me to take care of my human responsibilities, because I already have! The Lord has really been getting me through this day; I got 7-ish hours of sleep and I can't wait to take a power nap when I get home. Thank You Lord Jesus, for Your so easily-accessible presence, a simple two words a...
