Well, I have prepared for class tomorrow. It is naming coordination compounds. My weekend was nice. I took my mom out to dinner on Saturday and then we played Skipbo with my stepdad. Today, I went to a friends house for brunch, a discussion on being the watchman in Ezekiel 33, followed by some basketball and then watching basketball (Yay, Lakers lost. ^_^) I came home to finish grading, preparing and practicing chess. I watched some Bill Mahr because my folks had it on. He makes some good points but I cannot stand his vulgarism and his hatred of faith, especially since he merely has faith that God doesn't exist.
Another thing I did yesterday was go to Bevmo and purchase some sparkling black current juice and a bottle of Ariel NA Champagne. (I also purchased a regular bottle of Champagne for my friends final defense after celebration, I can't spell or pronounce the name so it must be excellent.)

Well, life seems to keep on moving in my life after graduate school. No major prospects for jobs, but I have a summer lecturer position and a possibility for the fall some place. I just was hopping that things would be more straight forward on what to do after graduate school, but there are just not that many positions open in the area and I am not sure if I should be looking elsewhere because I am not sure God's plan for me is to leave my current church and family. The joy from the grace and salvation that God has granted me still doesn't make decisions easy.
Yes, I could just do as I pleased and live life as I desired, but that wouldn't be right. I wouldn't truly appreciate that my life is not my own but a gift from God given back to me when I gave it to Him, if I am truly His. It is hard to explain if you don't accept the Bible... or maybe it is just hard to accept if you don't accept the Bible.
A similar decision that is hard to make is what about relationships and marriage. The hows and whos and whens are allusive, and advice differs from friend to friend. I put a little more weight on advice when it is backed by the Word of God which gives advice from non-Christian friends a slight disadvantage, but doesn't guarantee anything to Christian friends either,a s their advice could be merely their opinion. For now, I shall try to submit myself to patience and trusting in God, and continue to seek wisdom and knowledge from the Word of God.
