Another source other than myself has kept me accountable and made me post, this is according to 2nd Jason 5:17.
I posted, and now that the command is fulfilled goodbye!

This Day Belongs to the Lord
I have four more days of work. Yesterday in my heart was already at Saturday, my last day. The lord has me at this job for four more days for a reason. Today I have been asking God to give me a new heart. Not to just get me through the day, but to make an impact at work. My two co workers and I don't like working there. Thus we are bored, and thus we don't do our work to well, so thus again we are bored. It is a vicious cycle, but I want to get on a gracious cycle.
today is August 3rd, So I read Proverbs 3. In this chapter the Lord showed me three cycles: one of grace, one of strength, and the other of guidance.
Proverbs 3:7 "Do not be wise in your own eyes..." I can't do this on my own so:
I need God's grace to be humble today, so that I can find grace (3:34 "...But gives grace to the humble.").
I need God's strength to fear Him today, so that I can find strength (3:7-8 "...Fear the Lord and depart from evil. It will be health to your flesh, and strength to your bones.").
And I need God's guidance/direction in acknowledging Him, so that I can have guidance/direction (In all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths.").
All of these things: humility, fear of the Lord, and acknowledging Him in my ways, I have tried to do on my own. But I can't do these things without His grace, strength, and guidance. It is a gracious cycle that only the Lord can get me in. I Praise the Lord this day as I recognize my spiritual poverty. I can't do this on my own, I need his beautiful grace.

Hey I updated on the Cru community blog - crucommunity.blogspot.com read it its some good stuff.
umm so lately the lord has just been wanting me to be still and know that he is God. So i have been just relaxing in his presence and have been letting his peace fill me. I have been wanting to please Him so much, but he has been telling me that he is pleased with me and there is nothing more that I need to do then to love Him.
I would love to tell you all more! But my time here at the coffee shop is up!
I miss you all!
