Day 41 of " A Quarter of Love"

Today, I woke up realizing I had a late start which was great, except I had to wake up at my normal time because I had a project to work on. So I headed to my friends house after being a little late and we discussed what we would do for our video. Our assignment was to make a video, simple? Well we decided to make a video of us showing love for one day.

So we headed to a donut shop and started to put our plan into action. At first we were going to give donuts to people at a bus stop, but unfortunately their bus came right when we were approaching and then they were all gone lol.

But God had something greater for us, because the ideal came to me to go to the Torrance Fire Department and present them with the donuts and hopefully give them a good start to their day. So we drove to Torrance FD, and although we where a bit nervous we knocked on the door and then the large gate where they hold the fire engines opened up.

We got to meet with a couple of them, then we told them what we were doing and that we just wanted to appreciate them and show them some love. After handing them donuts it was perfect timing because they got a call and so we got to catch them get into action and drove off with donuts in hand.

However this day did not stop here, the day went on and after thinking about an evangelizing event I attended on Saturday I realized it was time for me to begin to speak to my friends that weren't Christian about God. Fear was the first thing that had always hit me but I had been praying to God that he would be with me and that I would have boldness and Love with me when speaking to them.

So I began to speak to one of my friends and we chatted for a little bit. Then I let him know about how I had been praying for him, and how I cared about him. He was thankful and that brought me joy. We talked some more and I began to remember when we were younger and how occasionally he would stand up for me when a lot of people were against me, and I told him that I appreciated him and that he was a good guy. He was surprised by this and told me no one had told him that before.

This shocked me, it took me all the way to my senior year to tell him something like that and no one else had done it? The fact that this gave him joy gave me joy as well and made me realize, something as small as sharing with someone that you appreciate them can have more volume then buying food, or anything for that matter. I have Faith that God will be with me and that I can share the things he has done in my life over this year. I'm thankful and blessed for God using me in this way and excited at the same time.

This School year is almost over for me, and yet God has only just begun, thank you Jesus.

Prayer: That God will speak through me his truth and love, and that it will be expressed through my actions as well. Also that I can share and express how much God means to me and what he has done in my life. God you are my strength and my foundation and All I Need Is You!
