...I choose to surrender, I bow my will to You...
[/copied from my xanga because I don't feel like writing anything new]
So, lets see. Class today was excessively boring.
I had lunch at Firehouse Subs. It was yummy.
I played a buttload of ridiculously addicting games, courtesy of Amanda, this afternoon. I rock at pointless online games.
I stopped at the USF library to pick up a book for Alayna's dad. He was happy, and took me to dinner with him and Alayna at Steak and Shake. Yesss, free Steak and Shake. With Alayna. <3
I went to Chris' after that. This girl, Katie... she's never seen the original Star Wars movies. Ever. So we're having a three day marathon. We started with 4 tonight. 5 tomorrow. 6 on Wednesday.
But then I kind of missed most of tonight's, because I talked to Steve for an hour. It was very encouraging. Better then a Star Wars movie that I can watch anytime.
Two things I learned tonight: 1. It's ok to cry and be upset. 2. I can't let my discouragement and upset-ness (is that a word? it is now) be all that I think about. It may hurt and may make me sad... but God is doing awesome things. So there's nothing to be upset about, really. He will take care of me. He will take care of us. So why should I be upset?
Consider it joy. I figured it out tonight.
Hopefully, I cried for the last time about this tonight. I cried out to God my entire 25 minute drive home from Chris' apartment, and I cried out of sadness and fear. And I found comfort. And I'm feeling better. Refreshed. Encouraged. Comforted. Loved.
I've found contentment and joy. It makes sense now. I shouldn't have been searching for joy in what happened... the joy is found in what God is doing through this. And that's exactly where I've found my joy right now.

P.S. Go see National Treasure. It was a cool movie.
