Day 2 (sort of)

So it's "sort of" day 2 because at church today pastor made it clear that the fast includes no meat at all. So after 6pm when I'm able to eat, I am not to eat meat. If you remember, yesterday I had gumbo! So today I did not have meat in my meal. Today's reading was Acts 20:24 "However, I consider my life worth nothing to me, my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task of testifying to the good news of God's grace." This really spoke to me. I can get so caught up in my issues and everyday stress. This made me stop and realize that the things of this life are not important. I should be working and serving everyday for God's kingdom because the real reward is in heaven. 

I had to check myself today because I allowed myself to get irritated and I had an attitude. I had to forgive someone again and they don't even know it. I was bothered and had to pray and ask God to forgive me. I needed compassion and asked for God to help me see that person the way he does so that I could love them. I'm really trying to be better all around. I'm still working on some things though.
