 Today on Canvas we answered some questions about our culture and the generational expectations that we feel are laid on us by our family.

I never know what to respond with when we have questions asked about our culture. I always just end up talking about how I/my family loves the Lord and that we try to be headed up in Him in all things.

Today I am feeling great. I've been pretty productive and I'm excited to start making a lot of money by doing lawn work. 

This morning in the shower while I was praying to the Lord, I felt burdened for someone who showed interest in coming to a meeting a while ago but had never texted my number which I gave to them. I asked that the Lord would give me an opportunity today to get their number (I don't have a class with them) so that I'd be able to text them, and that through this they would end up at a meeting and they could touch the Lord again. (they have an interesting salvation story but probably haven't touched the Lord much since then) I saw this person in the hallway and finally got their number and sent a text. They said that the meeting sounds fun and they'll check with their parents. 

OH LORD JESUS, THIS PERSON! Gain them Lord! Bring them into such a full and daily enjoyment of Your unsearchable riches. Lord, keep uplifting me as a shepherd to bring ones I know into a further experience of You. Thank You, Lord for granting me an opportunity to get in contact with this person. I love You, 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 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...

Today we started working on a presentation about a character of The Sorrow of War , I chose to do it about Kien; about what 10 things I would find in his trash can. While reading today, I learned more about what Kien's relationship with his parents was like as well as he and Phuong's relationship right before Kien went off to war. What Phuong said about Kien's dad impacted me, I did not expect her to say that.  I liked this class period. I got a good amount of work done and I have been slowly progressing in my google slides since we ended class. It's surprisingly hard to come up with more than 7 things I would find in Kien's trash can. Today, I am feeling good. I went to sleep earlier last night at about 10:30 (still not early enough) so waking up at 6 was not hard. My goal is to be in bed by the latest 9:30 every day. I was pretty productive today so I feel fulfilled in that sense. Still, nothing makes me feel any more fulfilled than being filled with the triune Go...
