Purpose Driven Life

New project. 40 days of reading "The Purpose Driven Life" by Rick Warren. I'm on day 3, so I'm kind of nervous about actually completing this task, because honestly I struggle with daily reading tasks. Like my Bible for instance. I bought the Bible in 90 Days last summer...I think I'm on day 7. But, that's also something I'm working on reading through. :) I'm excited.

Here's my nugget of truth for the day:

"Fear is a self-imposed prison that will keep you from becoming what God intends for you to be. You must move against it with the weapons of faith and love. The Bible Says, 'There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.' 1 John 4:18." -Rick Warren

A couple of weeks ago I realized I struggle with fear. The fear of accomplishing things. Everything from making it to Colorado this fall to the littlest thing of actually getting my room clean and keeping it that way. I honestly hated that realization. Probably because I had been ignoring that part of me for a really long time, and always came up with excuses about why I don't accomplish things. Oh man. So much learning this summer. So much learning in life. :)

On another note: MY LIFELONGFRIEND IS COMING HOME TOMORROW!!!!!!!! I miss Allison. Yet, I'm so proud of her for what she has been doing since the end of May in Asia. I did not like the no communication thing. I do LOVE that she's out there serving Jesus. The woman is so mature in Christ and I miss her influence on me and I'm kinda jealous of the people she was getting to hang out with. BUT. God was USING her. I can't wait to hear stories. Oh life. :)
