Not a child of God

This assignment was similar to the Cross carrying. I had to remember to carry it. When I did I was reminded that I am a child of God and He delights in me. This is something that I wrestle with often and thanks to this assignment, I could turn my card over. In recovery we have a saying, " turn it over" as in turn it over to God. This was similar in the sense that I would need to turn my card over to see the truth that is, " I am one of God's living stones, being built up in Christ as a spiritual house." (1 Peter 2:5) This verse helped me to remember that Christ Lives in me PERIOD! I think sometimes that I am alone or abandoned in this world, but that is far from the truth. He lives in me and always will.

Don't forget your cross

This assignment has been a difficult one for the sheer fact that I keep forgetting my cross. From day one, I walked to Broadway Life Center and did my practicum right after making the cross. I began to walk out the room at the end of the night and had to go back for my cross. This has happened many more times since then, but after enough people have heard the story I like to think they are just helping me remember. So I walk into work, "where is your cross," someone asks. I go to my sons cross country meet, "where is your cross," another parent asks. I tried to make it easier for me by tying a rope to it so I could wear it, but that still isn't enough. A coworker even joked that I should nail  to myself so I wouldn't forget it. I have carried it most of the time though. Is that enough? Most of the time? Today is day five of seven days to complete this assignment. Will it get easier, or will I continue to forget it. Help me Lord remember my cross!
