So as is typical, God and I had an argument, and God won. I spent the past week in my own pool of self pity. I was angry about relationships, about friendships, about work. I just was angry to be angry. I didn’t really have a basis for my complaints. I spent 6 months working on my relationship with God. Trying to give him control of my life and ( Read more... )

This week has been odd. I've been trying to taper back my anger and frustration with God. I've talked with several people about it this week. Several times, while saying it out loud, I felt extremely selfish. At other times, I felt like having a pity party. I've been just floating along this week. Work has been slow, it's been hard getting back ( Read more... )

So today has been extremely trying on me. As I go through life, I feel like I am making progress. I have spent the past 6 months trying to gain a better understanding of my relationship with God. I have been striving for holiness and to discern God's will for my life. The problem is, I apparently continue to do something wrong. I am frustrated with ( Read more... )

Wow! 2006 is already over. I can't believe it. It was definitely a year of change. I look back very fondly at the year that was 2006. I grew so much, physically, mentally, and spiritually. I know for a fact hat I am very different person now than I was at the beginning of last year, and I think all the changes have been positive ones. The ( Read more... )

Well, I thought my semester would slow down after I finished the weeks I described in my last post. But that was only the beginning. It's been insane. I'm finally sitting here on Thanksgiving break with the time to sit back and reflect a bit. Let's take the updates one thing at a time ( Read more... )

Senior year is turning out to be a pretty crazy year. I've got a really heavy course load. I thought with only 13 hours I would be alright, but the combination of classes just happens to be pretty heavy. Two of my classes have homework assignments (Composites and Numerical Methods). Plus I am struggling a lot with Ceramics. It's the first time ( Read more... )

Praise and Glory be to God! I give thanks for all the blessings he continues to pour down upon me. I have been back in the States for about a week and half. I was very thankful to get back into the U.S. before the terrorist plot blew up in England. It's great to be home, but boy, I sure have been busy. God has also been busy in my life. I went on ( Read more... )
