For some reason today, my brain did not want to do any arithmetic. I love solving things and I love numbers but I was just not feeling it today. I do not know why.
Conditioning was after school today for an hour and a half. We started with four gym laps and two laps around the school. Long distance running is not the best for me because I have a low stamina. That was the only trouble I had. The rest was sprinting and we played a game of handball. We also did relays which involved me having to give one of my best guy friends a piggyback ride. It honestly felt like giving @COOL1nate a piggyback ride because they both have similar bone structures. Other than my hard breathing from the laps and my calves now hurting, it went well. Unlike my basketball coaches, these coaches were really nice when dealing with my low stamina. They themselves said they were better sprinters and made sure I got lots of hydration. The girls were also really accepting and complimented me on my strength. I am pretty positive I will be on defense with all my strength.
Day two of AWAKEN was today. There were twenty-two kids today that were good, apart from three boys, but we knew how to deal with them.

Praise the Lord. How good it is to sing praises to our God, how pleasant and fitting to praise him!
– Psalm 147:1 (NIV)

"

Praise is pleasant and fitting because we were created to praise God. In other words, praise looks good on you because it is a custom fit. Because we were created for praise, when we don’t praise God we will inevitably praise other things like careers, relationships, money, or power and the idolatry of those things have devastating results. So ask yourself today: what am I praising? Take off the old self in its worship of temporary things and put on the new self in Christ that automatically directs you to your highest purpose: to honor and glorify the One who made you." -Dave Whitehead

The song of the day is Mr. Saxobeat by Alexandra Stan. If you have a song suggestion I will give you a shoutout.
