One year ago, I took up a challenge to journal. This was to bring back a bit of the child in me (suggested by Jon Carlin; Super Carlin Brothers on YouTube) and to connect more with God (suggested by church leaders). I did not realize then his much it would help me. I have changed a lot when I started journaling. I have learned to look at bad events differently and I have taken more risks. I have also grown to like myself more and I am enjoying being me. I am so proud of who I became. I expect to connect with my Eagle Army (that's you guys) a lot more.
Today was my last day of school. I finishes up my last two exams and came home to relax. I normally do not enjoy Summer because that means staying inside a house with no air conditioning with my five brothers, but I actually have plans now. People have been asking me to hang out a lit more recently and I am anticipating it well. I can tell I am going to enjoy this summer a lot.

The Lord had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you.
– Genesis 12:1 (NIV)
"Notice that God initiates His relationship with Abram with a command. Why else would Abram leave the security of his homeland and venture into a wilderness? God had crossed Abram’s will with His purposes. This has been the case from the trees in the garden to the One who hung on a tree for our sins. We want to try to understand God with our minds, but God starts with our hearts. This is the message of repentance. Obedience reminds us of who is the Creator and who is the created." -Dave Whitehead

The song of the day is Die Young by Ke$ha. If you have a song suggestion I will give you a shoutout.

If you have any prayer requests or praises please share. I would love to pray for you. Soar on, Eagle Army!
