June 30th (Day 47)

Today's verse is Daniel 9:9, "The Lord our God is merciful and forgiving, even though we have rebelled against him." Today was a pretty good day. It was my day off so I was able to relax and do some stuff all day. I was going to try to sleep in a little, but I ended up waking up on my own at 7:30 am and just got up and finished a recording so I could get it online for the band members for this week. After that, I went downstairs and worked out and then went for a walk/jog. I did A LOT of reading today. I read over 70 pages in "Death by Love" today and I'm almost done with it (finally), haha. I was able to talk to a couple of people online and then another person on the phone. Each of these were pretty enjoyable conversations. I took a nap after having lunch and reading for a little while. Overall I would say that it was a relaxing day physically but mentally exercising all day with all that I've read, processed, and thought about. I still can not believe that June is already over. Tomorrow is the first of July and there is only 4 weeks from this Friday before I am done here in Cleveland. It still feels like just last week that I got here and was dealing with getting settled in and accustomed to everything. Overall I think it becomes more bitter-sweet each week that passes by. The sweet part is that I'll be able to see my friends at KCU and at home again, but the bitterness part is that I won't get get see the people that I've built relationships with here over the summer much any more unless I come visit or I run into them somewhere on a trip or something. It's all part of life I guess, haha. Well That's all I have for you today! Until tomorrow!
