letting him do what he does best...

I've been home for about 30hrs now. In that 30hrs I have learned 1.5 chapters of statistics, made a chocolate éclair dessert thingy, watched brothers Grimm, and spent hours searching for a summer job.
It's that last one that's had me stressed - especially on finding out today that the place I'm interning at doesn't want me till June, and it is possible they may not want me at all.
Great. I'm lazy, I’m picky, and I’m stressed.

As I was walking home from the library today, it dawned on me - have I prayed about this today? or even in the past week? Have I brought any of my worries to the feet of Christ and laid them down?
NO! How is it that I forget so easily that my life is in his hands? But even in remembering I don't want to be caught up in "everything is going to work out". I mean, it will come to some end, but that doesn't mean I sit back and watch, does it?
Where is that middle ground between over anxious and negligence?

Reflections: Yahweh Tsebaoth

"And Elisha prayed, "O LORD, open his eyes so he may see." Then the LORD opened the servant's eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha." 2 Kings 6:17

Can you imagine what it would have been like to be in the servant's place? or even Elisha's place?
i'm just filled with awe and wonder thinking about chariots of fire! (ok, i know, awe and wonder - cheesy cliche christian jargon... but common - Chariots of FIRE!!)


on another note... i fly home tommorrow to begin the longest stay at home since i left for mission year. the longest i've been home since then is 2 weeks.... i'll be home for 3 months.
i think it'll be good - interesting in the least

hot-sticky-stress-ness

My roommate moved out today, so I have the room all to myself.
I was sitting here studying and suddenly became aware of how hot it is.
I looked around the room and for the first time it occured to me that no roommate means no fan.

jeans

It has come to my attention that my jeans are quickly disintegrating.

Holes are getting larger and revealing more and more of the pasty paleness beneath,
denim is getting thinner which allows the holes to get larger and reveal more of the pasty paleness beneath,
and I hate jean shopping, let alone have the money to go jean shopping

As long as they last 2 more weeks I'll be happy.

Finals week

What I Have to do: Study for Spanish and Pack

All I Want to Do: Finish reading C.S. Lewis' That Hideous Strength

I think Lewis might win tonight...

what will it take for me to finally have rule over my damn emotions,
without becoming emotionless
