Day 8

©     Confession: I have been doing awful at my goals (although I didn't wear makeup yesterday and had a good attitude with that)! I have continuously been complaining, only praying before maybe one meal a day, not dwelling on a bible verse, and not reading regularly for my 40 day challenge.  

©     I again have been slow in my process of reading. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but I realized today that I was craving time with God. I started to pray for things that mattered in my day and in other’s lives ; these were not my everyday normal prayer but it was necessary. What a beautiful moment to talk with my God. The Lord is so good. 

©     Today was a very busy and stressful day...and my attitude reflected it. I was down most of today because I was so tired and overwhelmed. It is now that I realize how in those moments I must remember that my attitude shows (or does not show) Christ's characteristics. 

©     Today’s verse says “…let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.” Matthew 5:16

©     Day 8 says “this day is to serve others and become more like Jesus”. This is my goal. I want to be more like Jesus every day and every moment. I will continue to work on my challenge and serve the Lord in all areas of my life.
