Journal
Up at normal time, QT and Breakfast then participated in the weekly Monday morning staff/volunteer/intern meeting. The singing was really good. Then we divided up for Jobs I worked on the mountain taking out the logs and putting in rocks all day long. Lunch was really good and we presented Courtney with the signed soccer ball and she signed many of our books because she would be leaving Tuesday at about 7 am. When Mr. Hanson and I finished, all the logs were cut up and moved away from the mountain so we could get on to working on the rock wall for the terracing project. After work we showered and got ready to go, then went to Dr. Ju’s house and swam and ate there, leaving at about 9:30 but not many really wanted to go… back to the church about 10 and lights out at 10:15.
Devotions – Mr. Hanson – Philemon
“Love” appears in about 6 verses. We will focus on verse 9 – “Phm 1:9 yet for love's sake I prefer to appeal to you…”
We do some things out of love – cleaning our room because we want to, calling home more than once because we miss them etc…
Rom 5:7 For one will scarcely die for a righteous person--though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die—
Rom 5:8 but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Some do QT for only 5 minutes because that is what they have to do, others take time to reflect on their QT during the day and might even have 2 QT in a day just to have that much more time in God’s Word.
Love for God is a requirement for the person to exceed the rules. And by doing that makes them much more valuable to those they are serving.
