PACIFIC BEACH, Calif. (BP)--I’m glad we had some rest times today! I got so much sleep and I slept real hard. It was great! There was this lady I smiled at and after I walked off she yelled at me, “Do you know where a chicken place is?” I know that doesn’t seem like a profound statement, but I should’ve said, “Well, I don’t know where the chicken place is but, I do know the truth about heaven,” or something like that.

Then I should have asked her to hold on so I could run and get my Bible. But I didn’t. Didn’t what a dumb word. Coulda, shoulda, woulda, I guess.

I hate cheesy statements, so I really mean this, but I felt like I disappointed God. In my devotional this morning, it talked about something that you fill like you’ve given up on of feel despaired or something of that nature—fear (or overcoming fear I should say) Like that verse in Romans (Romans 7:15to be exact) “ I know not what I want to do…”etc. That’s exactly how I feel.

But to end on good note—also in my devotion this morning I read in Psalm 103:14 , “He knew me in my weakness.” That’s just way cool to me because he knows I’m a dork and he still loves me. “While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” That’s another winner verse.

Also today I felt like we had good bonding time. We played Go Fish, this crazy Egyptian game, and the ever-wonderful speed.J I think we are really started to be ourselves and stuff. I honestly feel like they are my best buddies. And no this wasn’t like day from hell it was really super good, this is just what I happened to be pondering about today.
