This morning, at 4 AM, I watched the movie, "Letters to God." It was about an 11 year old boy battling cancer. and he wrote letters to God. Letters were his way of praying, giving EVERYTHING to God. It broke my heart as I was reminded of some pretty important things that I have learned, but seem to forget.
Lesson number 1: What Would Jesus Do? I wear a WWJD bracelet everyday. But why? To show people that I'm a Christian? Would it really take that for someone to know? Tyler, the main character, asks his mother, "What if they make fun of me? Oh yeah," he says, "I will do what Jesus would do." This boy was battling cancer and getting teased for having no hair and for writing letters to God, and all he cared about was showing love to his classmates that they may know truth through him. I need to ask myself, What Would Jesus Do? in my every decisions. My desire needs to be to show love to others that they may know truth.
Lesson number 2: I have been hand-picked by God for every situation I face. God has a plan for me and knows what I'm going through and how it is going to turn out. He has a purpose for it. I need to learn to be content with who I am and where I am; God is real big and has a real big plan.
Lesson number 3: "You yourselves are our letter, written on our hearts, known and read by everybody. You show that you are a leter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts." 2 Corinthians 3:2-3 - What do people see when the look at me? Do they see Christ?
Other than really enjoying the freshmen in Herriott hall, and loving Emily Pomasl for bringing me food once again on my shift, I am waiting for midnight when my 17 hour work day will come to an end.
