i love my hair and my eyebrows today. couldnt wait to get outta bed this morning. i dont know why. but i think its gonna be one of those days..the good ones.
well...so far...my studies are going great. i love reading my bible, sometimes i just get caught up with so many other things and people...that i lose my track of time and reason. but so far im loving my study time...studying some stuff in joshua about how God told him to be strong and courageous and to consecrate himself for the times to come...i love it. also yesterday cbc went to the beach.. it was pretty cool i didnt go swimming because i didnt feel like it. anyways, it was fun cuz me and victory went for a walk and found a cool little place on the beach to take a nap. it was great. one of my most favorite things to do is sleep in the sun...
today i came into town and got some work done. now im just chilling in the sanctuary, thankful to have a wireless connection. i will now continue my studies in joshua. but FIRST...i totally feel it necessary to expressive a few of my latest frustrations...lately i've thinking a lot. thinking of what i want mostly. my situations have been a bit confusing because of my surrounding influences. at times i feel like i couldnt tell what is right or wrong for me..if my life depended on it. i hear my heart...and i hear others....i hear their opinions, their preference for my life, and their criticism. i am not an easily persuaded person, however its not easy to listen to. maybe i AM persuaded by the people around me and i dont even realize it???? hrmmm.
i have an analogy that i want to share...it has to do with something that happened today...
well, me and val drove into town with josh today. when we got to the church we realized that none of us had a key to get in..i left mine at home on accident, i didnt think i would need it so i didnt go through the trouble to make sure it was in my purse. so while we were outside just waiting around we called a few people to see if anyone had a key....no one did...but then i remembered something.....about 2 months ago pastor gave me a key to the church. i put it on my keyring but the next day when i went to use it, i couldnt get the door to open. finally after 10 minutes of wiggling and twisting it through the keyhole it opened... i ended up just having a new key made.....soooooooo while i was sitting there in josh's car i remembered that i had the dumb key still. i gave it to josh knowing that it probably would not work....after another 10, 15 minutes of wiggling, pushing, pulling, scraping, twisting, and sweating....he got the key to turn and the door to open....cool huh. my point to the story is simple. either way we would have gotten into the church....the first way which took some time. some hard work, and chipping away at an old key...hoping that the fight would end up a success...or the second way which would have been to wait for someone to come and open up the door for us...someone with the RIGHT key, that would fit in the whole instantly....the first way im sure had caused some damage to the keyhole considering how much wearing away had to take place in order for the door to open......the second way...would have taken a bit longer, but there would be no damage to the keyhole and it would have been the right key with the right fit...just something to think about...ive been thinking about it ever since it happened...i wonder how this applies to my life and the people in it...hmmm...how much i wonder is applicable..and how much was just a funny time we spent...waiting for the church door to open..
