A Day To Yourself

Well today I was all alone. I literally had no human face to face conversation, except my crazy neighbor who sometimes opens his door and yells some form of words at me.... I just smile and wave haha. But yeah besides that no real conversation. It really had me focus my day around prayer. As people came to my mind today I just prayed for them, thanking God for them. Now looking back on my day it kind of reminds me of Paul as he prayed and wrote to all these people and churches. Praying like this has shown me how my love for people is growing along side with my growing love for God.

Today was a nice day full of cleaning, singing, praying, and reading, all by myself. To be honest I didn't think I could sing all these worship and praise songs by my self without just wishing everyone was around to sing with me. But I did and it was joyful.

1st Thessalonians 2-10 "We give thanks to God always for all of you, constantly mentioning you in our prayers, remembering before our God and Father your work of faith and labor of love and steadfastness of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ. For we know, brothers loved by God, that he has chosen you, because our gospel came to you not only in word, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with full conviction. You know what kind of men we proved to be among you for your sake. And you became imitators of us and of the Lord, for you received the word in much affliction, with the joy of the Holy Spirit, so that you became an example to all the believers in Macedonia and in Achaia. For not only has the word of the Lord sounded forth from you in Macedonia and Achaia, but your faith in God has gone forth everywhere, so that we need not say anything. For they themselves report concerning us the kind of reception we had among you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God, and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, Jesus who delivers us from the wrath to come.
