Day 5515

Well, today is the 5515 day I've been alive. I've been doing well with my Bible reading plan so far. In the introduction to the reading plan, Professor Horner says that once you read 10 chapters a day for awhile, you will feel like you've been starving yourself. It really is true. It's amazing to read 10 chapters from completely different parts of the Bible and see how they all work together.

I am not looking forward to midterms this week at school. Ugh. I guess it's good motivation to do well so I won't have to take finals in June. I have been convicted a lot lately about witnessing at school. It can be hard to stand out in a good way. It seems like people either stand out in a bad way or blend in with the world. I am praying that God will help me to do a better job of being in the world but not of the world

I really need to get back to running. I've only run a handful of times since cross country has been over. Although I'll probably be running this week because that's what I do to relieve stress and midterms will probably create a lot of that.

Well, I should probably clean my room and study now...

Day 5338

I haven't been doing a whole lot this summer... Cross country has been going great, but other than that, I've done nothing but sit around and read Karen Kingsbury books. I still can't believe that I'm starting high school in a little over a month... This summer has been great, but I'm ready to start school. Shopping for school supplies is my absolute favorite thing to do:) I guess that's about it...

Day 5305

Today, June 27, 2011, I am 5305 days old. I just got back from cross country practice, and I think it was one of the best yet. We ran for 30 minutes, and even though I walked for about a minute, I still finished with everyone else. I finally found people that run at about the same pace I do. Then we did strides, and they were amazing.

Another reason that I like running is because it gives me time to plan. I'm doing something that is profitable but I also have to time to think about something else. I planned out my whole day today. So, I hope everyone has a great day!

Days Go By

"Days Go By"

I'm changing lanes
I'm talking on the phone
I'm drivin' way to fast
And the interstate's jammed with
Gunners like me afraid of coming in last
But somewhere in the race we run
We're coming undone

Days go by
I can feel 'em flying
Like a hand out the window in the wind as the cars go by
It's all we've been given
So you better start livin' right now
'Cause days go by

Out on the roof just the other night
I watched the world flash by
Headlights, taillights running through a river of neon signs
But somewhere in the rush I felt
We're losing ourselves

Days go by
I can feel 'em flying
Like a hand out the window in the wind as the cars go by
It's all we've been given
So you better start livin' right now
'Cause days go by

We think about tomorrow then it slips away
We talk about forever but we've only got today

And the days go by
I can feel 'em flying
Like a hand out the window
As the cars go by

It's all we've been given
So you better start livin'
You better start livin'
Better start livin' right now

Cause days go by
I can feel like 'em flying
Like a hand out the window in the wind as the cars go by

It's all we've been given
So you better start livin' right now

Cause days go by
These days go by

So take 'em by the hand
They're yours and mine
Take 'em by the hand
And live your life
Take 'em by the hand
Don't let 'em all fly by

Come on, Come on now
Don't you know the days go by

These are the lyrics to the song "Days Go By" by Keith Urban. I decided this would be kinda a cool title for a blog about life. Since that's what happens in life: days go by. You live them. Sometimes your choices are good. Sometimes they're not so good. But you can only live your life once. Today, I am 5,281 days old. Only God knows how many more days I have left. So, it is my job to live out all the days I have and live them doing everything to the glory of God.
