This week starts the fifth week of our eight week project. It has been a good project so far and I can't believe that it is going so fast. It has been busy this week as I have been working a lot of nighttime shifts at my job. We are finally starting to find somewhat of a routine with everyone's schedules, but it is difficult because we all work at different times. This weekend was devoted to learning about relationships and we had a really great couple come to visit us. They told us the story of their relationship and how God has worked in their lives to create a family that is devoted to Him. Talking about relationships is one of my favorite things because it is how I learned to truly develop my relationship with Christ. It is important to make God the center of all of our relationships in life.

This week I have been focusing on building relationships at work because that is where I have spent most of my time. The people that I work with are very different from the type of people I am accustomed to working with. It is hard to get into spiritual conversations at work because it is so busy that there is not much time for any conversation. God has shown me that these people are truly in need of His love. It seems that the city has hardened many people's hearts. I am praying that God continues to work in my heart through truly loving these people. This week at church we discussed truly loving people from your heart with God's love and not just pretending to love them or treat them nicely. Sometimes it is difficult when you receive no love in return. I know that my coworkers have seen something different about me and the other Axis participants but I pray that I get to share with them what sets us apart.

Please continue to pray for the project as we continue to work this week and in the few weeks to come. Thanks!
