Apr 24 + staying in my spirit

 Today we watched a video about the ways that someone living on $7.50/hr manages their life.

I came in halfway through the video, so later on in the discussion I was surprised to hear that this person doesn't even have a budget while living on that low of a wage.

I am feeling good today. I am trying to stay turned to my spirit all day long, and I'm starting to see how difficult that really is. I want to develop such a constant fellowship and dependent relationship with the Lord that I would feel very uncomfortable in any moment that I'm not turned to Him. Simply striving to do this shows how much more I could be mingled with Him in my daily life and it's quite a wake-up call. If I had to estimate, I'd say I'm in my spirit for 1/8 of my day on average. That's pretty good considering how much time there is from me waking up to going to sleep, but it shows that I'm only in my spirit for 12.5% of my day and I have 87.5% of my day to improve on and learn to be turned to Him for.

O Lord Jesus, keep me in the speed-of-life process of transformation and mind-renewing. I love You Lord.

Oh yeah, I wrote a new song recently. I'm planning on recording it soon. It's about Christ vs religion.

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...
