Day 6 of Experiment
Well...this experimental thing went very well the first day. I went into work determined to keep my mind on Jesus. I did very well throughout lunch and prayed the whole time to keep my tongue in check. I realized that the best thing about my job is that I can go into work, put on my headphones and tune out the world...just as long as I get my work done.
Last Wednesday night at prayer meeting, God warned me of danger with my friend at work. I had thoughts in the back of my mind about her, but I kept being friends with her because no one else was nice to her. It turns out that there really is a reason that no one gets along with her. Thursday at lunch, she stared me in the face as she told *name here* something that I had specifically said, "do not talk about this in front of *name here*." Then, in the same breath, without blinking, she said, "Sorry." All I can say is that God warned me. Thank you, Lord. I had a bad afternoon on Thursday because of that. But, now I know.
Friday was pretty good during the day, but I had a spiritual attack that night. If you think about it, please pray for me that God will renew my mind and wipe away some bad memories. Sometimes when these thoughts come, there is nothing I can do to fight it off. Jason prayed for me for awhile and it helped a lot.
Saturday/Sunday/Monday: I was working at the house these three days and wore myself out. No time for thinking much. Saturday night was fun at the Hawaiian/Asian women's thing. It was so much fun sitting around drinking Pina Colada's and being with other women. (Mary swears the drinks were virgin, but her mom didn't think so.) I guess we were a little too giddy. Sunday's service was good, but again, I worked at the house. I did get a little bit of a nap in before running to get groceries, so that's a plus. Yesterday I had the day off for a dr's appt in the afternoon. BC, Jason and I worked at the house. A little more scraping, a whole lot of painting and cleaning and we can move in. The end really is in sight!
Ta ta...I'm off to have a good day singing, I woke up this morning with my mind stayed on Jesus. Repeat that a few times and I think that's the whole song. Have a good day of Happy Thoughts!

I'll be at your house tomorrow morning, giving myself lead poisoning from the scraping!! You're getting closer to the light at the end of the tunnel.
About your job, it's a big deal for you to keep your mind on Jesus the whole time. Wow, not many people actually do that, no matter how much they try! You're experiment is a good one.
