Another Golden Day
Today was just wonderful. I couldn't have asked for a nicer one.
I finally managed to wake up early again, thanks in no small part to Miss Isabelle nuzzling me in bed, and eat my breakfast. I don't remember the last time I actually sat down to a breakfast meal; sad, isn't it? Anyway, after that, I went out for a 45-minute run with my mother. She's been sick for the past week, so I know she's working to catch up on the exercise that she's missed. She kept saying I didn't have to come with her; I think she was afraid she'd slow me down because I have a longer stride than she does. Honestly, that made no difference to me. Just getting to spend time with my mom was all that counted. So we had a nice run out in the muggy morning sun.
I had work from 11 am to 4 pm, and again, the lunch shift went relatively smooth. I have to say, I never thought I would see the day that I'd miss lunch shift. I'd have to go back to my first couple of weeks at the Greenville Mall Chick-Fil-A to remember when I worked the lunch shift on a regular basis. Since then I've pretty much entrained myself to the night shift, and so I'm always thinking in the back of my mind, "Okay, we're slow. What do I need to get cleaned or take back to the sink before we get busy again?" But it's fun to be doing something different in my work. It's the same line of work, of course, but it feels fresh and new again. Always a good thing.
But the main highlight of my day was this evening, when our Sunday School class held its first Bible Study of the summer. Once again, I bore witness to the beginning of a whole new college students ministry within my church. And it has me excited beyond words. Tonight's study was on James chapter 2, verses 14 through 18, the famous "faith without deeds" section. I love this passage, and Mr. Possell had some awesome testimonies to share that related back to the lesson taught in the Scripture. I had several chances to comment and share my experiences, one of which I'll need to devote a future entry to discussing in detail. It felt great seeing us come together, have a few laughs here and there, but most of all jump into God's Word with willing hearts and ready for the Holy Spirit to work within our hearts. Unbelievable feeling. I'm looking forward to next Tuesday night already.
Ah. I love golden days. They make the dark days easier to take in stride, somehow. :)
Song of the Day: By The Tree - "Blessed be the Name of the Lord"
Verse of the Day: "But someone will say, 'You have faith; I have deeds.' Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by what I do. You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that - and shudder." - James 2:18-19
