Day 4

Today's day 4, and I am slowly getting to the point of getting excited for when I'm going to read the Word. The downside is, I still read it when I'm in between games or have nothing to do. I guess it's a start for now.. Today, I won't be reflecting on the Word that I read today. Instead, I wanted to share a few prayer requests that's been on my heart lately before we come together as a group tomorrow. 1. Family's financial situation: For the past month, neither I nor my mom were working, so we were depending on the money coming in from my aunt and very small amount from my dad.. Plus I had to get my brake pads replaced because my rear ones were practically metal-to-metal. Good news is, my mom is working a lot more for April because her friend is going to Korea for 2 weeks, allowing her to fill in, and she'll be working regularly starting in May to help out her friend's business in Federal Way. I feel that I should be praying for our family's reliance on God and less on ourselves, because I'm beginning to feel the burden a little bit. 2. My sister/cousin's SAT stuff: They just got back their SAT scores today, and my sister did better than expected in the 1700 range, but my cousin's is not so good, and because my aunt is in Korea, she expects a lot more than others would. I'm worried for her stress level.. 3. My bible study group stuff: I'm going to be starting a 1-on-1 with my group, starting from the first week of April. I'm planning on meeting 2 kids a week, because I'm pretty sure my spring schedule will be relatively simple. I'm praying that from these 1-on-1's that I'll get to know the kids better, and that the environment will allow for deeper, more meaningful conversations, which will hopefully increase the trust levels between me and the kids. :)
