Sept 9th

It is weird to think that I have been out in Louisiana for almost six weeks, that I will be 21 in a little over a week, and that things are going by faster then I would think.

Each month we choose a Christ like attribute to develop and work on. For September mine is patience. I am mainly working on being patient with others but also at the same time being patient with myself. I can't control others I know, but there are times when I just want things to work out. It get's really hard when week after week you put a 0 for something that you know that someone could of filled, but when you do get to put a number it feels a lot sweeter knowing that someone chose for them self to do something to bring them closer to God. I know that I am my own worst critic and enemy. I have been trying really hard while I have been out not to beat myself up over things and realize that I am not in control and that God is in control over everything I am doing for the day, week, month, year. and the entirety of my life. I need to stop being a backseat driver and give Him the controls. It has been hard but I can already see a difference.
