So for all of you Chronicles of Narnia lovers out there.. Mick and I went to see Prince Caspian…. My rating is that it was pretty good, however, you have to assume that it is a war story and that it centers more around faith rather than the aspect of Jesus. I also recommend little kids to not go to this. It is rated pg and has some scary demon stuff in it!
Murray gives two thumbs up!
In Sunday school, we are talking about patience and how it can be hard and even hurt others if you are not patient. It is so eerie that every time I go to teach it usually hits home for me. I love that. You see, patience is a virtue that I struggle to have. It is amazing to me that after 25 years, I am still working on it.. The best thing about being patient is knowing the good will come out of it in the end. One thing to note, however, if you struggle with patience is that it is hard to pray for it. God definitely will teach you by making you wait! It is hard to do, but somebodies got to do it!
So I am reading this book about leadership. Different charateristics of leaders are portrayed. One of the steps that Andy Stanley pushes in the book is having clarity. “Uncertian times require clear directives from those in leadership. yet the temptation for young leaders is to allow uncertianty to leave them paralyzed. A next generation leader must learn to be clear even when he is not certian” ( stanley, 12). In new situations i am totally paralyzed and I recoup by leaning on others until my confidence is forged back into my being. I don’t know why I do this? I don’t particularly enjoy this. It has something to do with the unknown. what people may think about me… What if I fail? what if I inevitably trip or look stupid? I am sure this is natural.. at least I hope so…more to come on this when i read more
On another note- graduation was great…Quarter Birthday was fantastic… We went to a Reds game and they finally won! Mick danced like a awesome fool and I loved every minute of it. We got to see old friends and eat familiar food… Skyline, Graeters, Rohs Coffee Shop, Reality Tuesday, and more enchanting tastes! Most of all.. it was relaxing!
another pivotal moment in my life is passing by very quickly… I will be 25 this weekend and graduating from College. Everyone prepares for this day to walk across a stage and turn the little tassle on their head and sit for a long and boring ceremony of awards for old people you don’t know who used to go to the school 50 years ago. I remember when I was in high scool ( never thought I would say that so quickly) and I was dreaming of the days when I would be done with school and in my career. By age 25, I pegged myself as already having two kids, which seems ridiculous now that I think about it. A lot of things happened in my life that I never really planned, but it never works out when you plan anything anyways. I can say with utmost happiness that I am content where I am at in my life… Of course my biological clock is ticking and I am starting to see Grey hairs, but none the less.. I am content. So I am going to this ritual on Saturday, not with guilt of what I could have done, but a more precise excitement of the future unknown. A lot can happen in a year. I only hope that I stay afloat!
Why is it every time I think I am over something.. The ugly truth is pushed in my face.. I hate worrying and I hate being nervous. It is a problem I have and I know I need to overcome it. I was talking to a friend the other day about Worry being a sin. She didn’t even know it was a sin. She said that she couldn’t help it so it wasn’t fair. Isn’t worrying in a women’s DNA makeup?
The real truth is that I am more concerned with healing myself rather than leaning on God. That is why worrying is a such an ugly wart you can’t hide. If we all just fully gave ourselves to him than their would be no need to worry. I know this and I am working on it.
