Day 2 of "A Quarter of love"

So last night I was late worshiping and going through the bible verse in excitement for today. Although today isn't day 1, it is the official start of my quarter of love due to spring break being last week. I was very excited and talked with many people last night and got a really good message from Riley in 1 Corinthians 13.

So i woke up this morning not knowing what to expect but ready for what ever would be ahead of me today. I did my QT this morning and was out the door on my way to school. First period went by like a breeze, so did second and before i knew it third and 4th did as well and it was already lunch time. Still nothing, I realized towards the end of lunch that hadn't done anything or experienced anything yet. However I didn't give up and said even though the day is almost over its not too late. I was starving and was about to go eat lunch when one of my friends asked me when we would go out to eat, because we haven't in a very long time so I asked if he was free today after school and he said yes.

I went to my 5th and last period and after the clock rung 1:50 I realized school was over and nothing happened. So I walked to my car just thinking if I passed up on an opportunity in first period. I happened to be reviewing my bible study when one of my friends asked what I was doing thinking it was school work. In a panic I replied nothing and that it was mines haha. she said oh, ok with a relief and walked away. Next my other friend sitting next to me asked what I was working on and I told him it was my bible study and he asked me if it was hard I told him it was easy and continued reviewing it and when I thought to talk to him about it he walked away.

I was waiting in my car and I started to think about a couple things. I realized that today I was awaiting flashing lights and a large help here sign that I could react to, yet i didn't go out of my comfort zone. I stayed in my normal hang out spots and didn't bother to search for what could be an opportunity to show love. I also began to think about what exactly is love. Does love have to be something spectacular? Alex Park told me that love can be something someone would do for you that would make you happy.

We arrived at Saigon Dish the best pho place ever, and stayed there for about an hour eating and talking. On our way home I realized that if someone took me to lunch it would make me happy and even if it was a small way I had showed a form of love to my friend. This day I began with large expectations yet towards then end it was more of a reality check and a realization that there are many opportunities small and large some obvious and some that I might have to search for yet this is what my journey with God will be all about.
