Day 26 → Have you ever thought about giving up on life? If so. when and why?
Day 27 → What's the best thing going for you right now?
Day 28 → What if you were pregnant or got someone pregnant, what would you do?

Day 29 → Something you hope to change about yourself. And why.  

There definitely isn't just one thing I would want to change. I am impatient. I am unkind. I do not always tell the truth. I boast and am proud. I am selfish and conceited at times. I hold grudges and seek revenge ... 

The list goes on. 

So the something I hope to change about myself is more like a lot of somethings. A lot of somethings that I wish to change in a way that I could be more like Christ. I wish to be patient, kind, gentle, honest, unselfish, and forgiving. The qualities that my Savior possesses are not to be taken lightly and things that I genuinely wish I saw in myself more. I struggle with the ways of the world on a daily basis. I give in so often to things that bring quick delight and a moment of pleasure rather than seeking fast His kingdom. 

I guess that is really what I want to change if we are being totally honest. I feel a tug on my heart - especially tonight for some reason - to passionately pursue Christ the way He has pursued and loved the church. I want to bring glory to His name and make His presence known while fulfilling my purpose. 

Never an easy task. Never something I seem to be good at. But maybe that will change. 

Day 30 → A letter to yourself, tell yourself EVERYTHING you love about yourself.
