Yesterday my jeans ripped. They were getting a bit old, the denim had relaxed and now they needed a belt as they hung a little too loose. They looked less smart, and more daggy. But they were jeans and they were super comfortable! But as I stood up from a length of study, I noticed a hole just under the right back pocket. Not a hole - a tear. And ( Read more... )

It bugs me incredibly that people use the excuse that the Bible says "judge not or you too will be judged" as a way to point the finger at all those evil Christians who clearly don't love and want to stop people having fun ( Read more... )

So I went into work this morning to sort out this debacle with the rosters and my four shifts next week are cut down to 2! YAY!!! Then I handed in new availability forms that let them know I'm going away for 3 weeks in December. I know they're not happy about it and I may have to quit, but I'm praying it won't come to that and they'll sign off on ( Read more... )

btw, since I have lots of time this morning before needing to be anywhere, I read some of my Bible (hurrah!). All of Colossians actually. When I have had time and motivation to read my Bible in the past two weeks, I've been reading a whole book, as opposed to bits of a book ( Read more... )

What a week! And I mean that in the sense of suffering from foot-in-mouth disease. And I mean that in the sense of both doing, saying and reacting to things in a stupid, childish and immature manner. That was what part of my whining on Friday was about (the entry before this one). That being said, the entry did help me to clarify WHY I blog and ( Read more... )

My tax return money came through this morning. It's quite a bit. I'm trying very hard though, to not think of it as mine. Rather, God has given it to me in trust: stewardship. I need to use it wisely and for good. I was thinking about this in my shower and I thought the best thing to do would be to come up with a list and run it past a friend to ( Read more... )

My heart hurts very much sometimes. And it's hard to tell if it's hurting because I desire to get married, or if it's left over pain from Josh. Either way, it's very hard sometimes. And trying to be patient is hard. Life is hard.
We all make a god out of what we take the most pleasure in. Christian Hedonists want to make God their God by seeking ( Read more... )

My Trinity at night course is going really well. It's an overview of the picture of the Bible and so far everything seems to be fitting in, in ways I didn't really expect. The story of the Old Testament is all about Jesus - pointing ahead to him. It's very interesting to see how that is working itself out as we look a the details! I'm also reading ( Read more... )

I'm feeling better today. I went to bed at 9 last night. Heather and I were planning to watch Criminal Minds as we thought it started at 8:30, but upon finding out it started later, I decided to "stuff this!" and I went to bed. I slept rather well and had a good day at school today ( Read more... )

Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, "Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother when he sins against me? Up to seven times ( Read more... )
