Faith Journal - Day 1

"With this in mind, we constantly pray for you, that our God may count you worthy of his calling, and that by his power he may fulfill every good purpose of yours and every act prompted by your faith." 2 Thes. 1:11

The above scripture is our memory scripture for the week, and also the basis of this faith journal. In it, we are to make at least two entries every day.

1) Good purposes that I have
- These are basically good things that I'm trying to do. They are purposely broad, and encompass many small acts that will lead to the fulfillment of the broad purpose (for example, if I were married, a purpose I could have we be, "becoming a good husband." Obviously there are many acts that would go into me becoming a good husband)
- We are to be on the lookout for how God is working in our lives to accomplish these good purposes

2) Acts prompted by my faith
- These are much smaller things that I can and will do on a daily basis. They may be things the Spirit prompts me to do, such as share my faith with someone or call someone to lift them up/encourage them or give a homeless person some money/my time.



A good purpose I have is to be a great husband one day. I am not exactly sure how God is or will be working in my life to fulfill this purpose, but I am going to be on the lookout for him working this out.

I had a dream about Jessie last night. The last thing I remember about the dream is I made a joke at her expense, but she found it really funny and laughed her unique laugh that I remember so well. I woke up and began missing her like crazy. It seems that I have a dream about her every couple of weeks. I am in the midst of seeing how God will work things out between us, but instead of just trying to not think about her, I decided to pray for extra blessings in her life, that she would draw closer to God than ever before, and to thank God for working these out between us (whether we get back together or not). I don't want to be presumptuous and say God will definitely bring us back together. But I DO have faith that he will work out this situation for his glory. And that is ultimately what matters.
