commitments
I just watched August Rush last night before going to bed, and i absolutely loved it! This is one movie that actually makes me wish i was an official movie critic whose review actually matters. For those of you who don't know or have forgotten, i am a film and drama major at SAU -- i actually STUDY this stuff :-) It'd be nice if my friends came up to me to hear about input of a movie that they want to see, or have already seen and just want to compare reviews and see what we agree on. Anyway, August Rush has been the most interactive movie i have ever seen. Maybe you'll understand what i mean if you watch it :-)
I didn't expect to be on here long, but now that i think about it i should update you guys on a few new commitments i've made recently. I don't remember which commitment came first, but i'll start with the simplist. I've decided to carry around a pocket-sized Bible with me as often as possible; really any time that it would not be a hinderance, such as swimming, lol. I made that decision somewhere near the end of the semester when i went through a box i never unpacked and took the pocket-sized Bible out. The other decision i made stemmed from my commitment during the school year to get into the word every day. I finished the book of Romans during the semester, and was so impacted by the timing of what i read that i said to myself "i should commit to reading this book once a month!" I went to the book of James afterward, then to 1st and 2nd Peter. Once i got home, i started looking for what scriptures to be going through now and i really felt it would be beneficial to read the book of John (especially to learn directly from Jesus). As of a few days ago, i've been reading John during the day (morning) and Romans at night, which also ties into my other commitment: to pray once i roll out of bed, before meal times, and before bedtime. Of course, that does not limit all the other times i would pray, it just solidifies praying at least this much per day; sort of habitual. I'm sure the praying will become more specific over time, trying to make sure i pray for certain things daily and what not. I guess that is all for now.
Please friends, stay in contact with me. Lord willing, i want to be there for you. God is moving and i want to seek out His presence. I want to make sure my friends are doing the same. To be honest, i was hoping to get more interaction between God and specifically with friends, so i started posting more recently. I don't mind that i haven't gotten feedback for what i'm going through, but what gets me is when i try to be there for any of you and i know very little of what you all may be going through and how i can help. How can i pray for you, friends?
I LOVE you Jessica.
In Christ,
