God is great, God is good, let me thank Him for my grades
So final report: Straight B's except for a C in 1552. gpa of 2.76.
Well that means 2 things. Thing #1: No more stipend for me (major suckage) Thing #2: I don't have to take 1552 again (yayage!)
I'm happy with that though. This semester kicked my @$$, made me like it, then did it again harder. To come out with all B's save one C, I think that's pretty good.
God helped me through that. Believe me, it was not my own abilities, but His alone. To Him be the glory.
Well, looks like I'll be working two jobs over the holidays (...joy...) I suppose it's for the best though, being that I'm now without my stipend and whatnot. Besides, who needs time to rest, right?
Yeah, so um... yeah
"Victim of Circumstance"
"I saw the new land over the horizon in my gaze
That retreated more and more as I got closer with the days.
I dug for the gold that was but a few feet below
That turned out to be but a reflection and a glow.
I sowed my seeds where'er I could and watched to see what grew
But then a tempest came and they went with the wind that blew.
Then I built a fortress and a strong and mighty tower,
Only to have an earthquake destroy them within an hour.
Afterwards I left my home to journey through the world.
I planned ahead and got my things and straightened what was swirled.
I did not think I would have need sword or shield from strife,
A mistake which left me crushed, within mere inches of my life.
My mysfortune at these events for sure had me perplexed,
But more unexpected was the thing that happened next.
I sailed across the seven seas and every land explored,
And tried all that I could to have the one that I adored.
I yelled with all my strength that she'd become my everything
But she couldn't hear my voice over the bells' ring.
I showed my love for her with a gigantic burst of light
That could not pierce the mountain that had blocked it from her sight.
I fought for her a war that she had no idea was coming
And I helped her from afar from troubles that were numbing.
I tried and tried so that I could get closer to her heart,
But then I found that she was who had pushed us far apart.
I tamed the birds of air to bring a message to her eyes
But the storm came quickly and it caught them by surprise.
I tried as hard as possible to get her hand to dance.
I just couldn't reach her... I'm a victim of circumstance.
Sometimes it doesn't matter how many times you try,
Or how you plan, prepare, make sure, or think, or laugh, or cry.
It's hard for me to accept that sometimes I will fall and fail
Because I try so hard to overcome and to prevail.
I've had everything I wanted held within my grip,
Then I had it crushed or dashed and even had it slip.
It hurts to see the dead or dying dreams you thought would last.
It's hard to see the future when you're crushed about the past.
It's hard to keep your spirits up when nothing's as you'd wished.
It's hard smile when you get no bite for all the times you've fished
It's hard to hear everyone say "Someday your day will come."
It's hard to see them show their gifts when you have only one.
But I thank God for hope because for me it always lingers
Even when my hopes and dreams just slip right through my fingers.
Jesus bore upon the cross all that I would endure.
He's the only reason that I'm still here... for sure.
His strength is what has gotten me through my darkest days.
His light has been the only thing to break through the cloudy haze.
His arms were open wide for me when no one else was there.
He hugged me when I needed love, and gave me a Father's care.
He helped me through my struggles and forgave all of my flaws.
He began my heart's healing and wrapped my wounds with gauze.
Jesus always had my back when all others let me down.
Jesus is my king, upon whose head I place my crown.
Sometimes I wish I could see through the trying times I face.
Sometimes I hesitate to remember His mercy and His grace.
Sometimes I feel like I'm a failure waiting in the wind.
I wish that better judgement, guidance and wisdom He would send.
It's hard to keep on pressing when you're going through the rough.
It's even harder when you know your best is not enough.
With Christ all things are possible, and because of this I say
Because I forget about this, I am failure every day.
I wish that I would trust Him more and not exert so hard.
Whatever trick is played I should play the trump... the Jesus card.
I'm tired of failing Him, but at least I rest assured
That I won't stop resisting until this disease is cured.
I wish I never failed whenever I put forth my best.
But I guess sometimes you do what you can and trust Him for the rest.
The story of my life is that I try and fail by chance.
What more can I tell you? I'm a victim of circumstance."
That started off as two stanzas. Nifty.
Yeah...
It's amazing how one thing leads to another.
"Forgive me of my failures, Lord. Give me guidance, make me wise.
Forgive me of my failures, self. Your future's in your eyes.
Forgive me of my failues, both, that I might have my prize,
And pleasant thoughts and feelings that no one can surmise."
With open eyes, traveled shoes, and a sincere heart,
