Apr 15 and 16

 On Monday, April 15th I was absent.

Today we got another Newsela assignment (apparently we were assigned one on Monday.)

I enjoyed class today; I had a short chat with Mr. Rease about a couple of things. 

I was late to school today because I was writing two-part lyrics for me to record over myself on multiple tracks for a new song I wrote. I feel like the Lord would rather me be at school on time than even be doing things like figuring out how to record a song for the saints' enjoyment, and I strive (by His own supply of grace--Himself being my life-supply) to consider my prioritizing of these things in prayer to Him before I miss the chance to stay in His will by already being late for school. O Lord Jesus, perfect me; keep me in the process of transformation and mind-renewing. 

My new song is (almost word-for-word) Ephesians 2:1-14a. I put a tune on these verses and judging by the fact that the chorus is always replaying in my head, I think it's very catchy. Often when I cook up a song and then listen to it/sing it when I'm done, I just sit back in awe at the Lord's working through me to make something so enjoyable and full of His riches. I don't like taking my own credit for my songs because as long as I'm staying in my spirit with Him at the time of writing it, it's truly His working and writing, not mine.

O Lord Jesus keep filling me with Your resurrection life today.

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...
