| Damn those people that slip through the wall you build of pain and tears. | | |
| We went from sheer bliss
To begging for only a kiss
It shouldn't have to be like this
I had a funny feeling
Right from the beginning
That this would have no meaning
It couldn't have gone any faster
This was a recipe for disaster
Why did I have to find out after
The fact that you were in love
With another girl
I knew it right from the start
That you and I would fall apart
Please excuse me while I pick up my broken heart. | | |
| I may not always be happy, but nothing can take my joy. I choose to be joyful.
"These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” - John 16:33
2 through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 3 And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; 4 and perseverance, character; and character, hope. - Romans 5:2-4
rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer; - Romans 12:12
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. 5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also abounds through Christ. - 2 Corinthians 1:3-5
Therefore I ask that you do not lose heart at my tribulations for you, which is your glory. - Ephesians 3:13
3 that no one should be shaken by these afflictions; for you yourselves know that we are appointed to this. 4 For, in fact, we told you before when we were with you that we would suffer tribulation, just as it happened, and you know. 5 For this reason, when I could no longer endure it, I sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter had tempted you, and our labor might be in vain. - 1 Thessalonians 3:3-5
2 My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, 3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. - James 1:2-3
I will not lose heart. I WILL count it all joy.
Keep my family and me in prayer.
Happy New Year. | | |
| So...I have spent five days doing absolutely nothing and it's been glorious. I don't even know what to do with myself. I took my last final on Friday, December 15th. I can't believe my first semester of law school is over. It flew by so quickly, but at the same time, I felt like winter break would never come. Now, I'm home, frequenting Soho much more than my checkbook would like me to, and I've been hanging out with old friends, and making more trips to the doctor's office than I have in my life...well, not exactly. I'm just trying to milk my parents' insurance for all it's worth while I still can. lol I've gone through every checkup imaginable this week and I still have two more appointments left. lol Other random thoughts include: I love my MSNY family and I've missed them so much. It was so great to catch up with so many people this Sunday and see Pastor Jim Laffoon. Absolute bonus right there. Alright...I don't really have a whole lot to say right now because my brain is still fried and PLEASE DO NOT ASK ME HOW SCHOOL IS GOING. Let's just say I've enjoyed it so far and I'm glad it's behind me right now. I'll try to update some more coherent thoughts later, but for now, back to the mindless activity of shopping in Soho and wandering aimlessly through the streets of New York City. | | |
| ...It's already November 1st. It's been too long since I've updated.
My life is really boring. Well...if you asked anyone in Lansing, MI, they would beg to differ. So...my life may not be boring to these small town poets here, but it surely does feel boring. At the same time, it doesn't. My life feels very productive and it is. Law school is kicking my butt, yet I'm having the time of my life. I love learning the law. Those five words really do scare me. It's good though. It keeps me out of trouble...sometimes. lol
On Monday, I gave my tutor some more practice essays to read and comment on. He told me that I must really have a lot of time on my hands because I'm so far ahead of most people in school. I told him that the opposite is true. I can't believe I actually have time to practice essays. I told him that on top of the ridiculous amount of reading I have to do, I got together with a guy, broke up with him, started writing songs, and I still have time to do practice essays...all within the last three weeks. So...if I can do it, anyone can. lol He was like..."wow...you go girl." lol
I'm definitely being stretched though and I'm learning how to fully rely on God alone. It's a painful, but maturing process, and it's beautiful. I've never been so full of joy before in my life. There's so much going on right now, but alas...I have to do my Property reading for tomorrow. Please pray for my finals in December, just in case I don't get to update between now and then. | | |
