This week has been nice and relaxing thus far. Nothing extrememly pressing. The bane of my existence (statistics) was canceled today!!!! And I remembered that I am allowed one absence in English lab, so I skipped. Man, I'm getting lazy.
I've been a lot more at peace lately. Its a wonderful feeling.
I got to play soccer last night. Not for too long, but it was fun. I don't know most of that group yet, but its still fun and it'd be cool to get to know them better.
Last semester I had a friend going through a really hard time. He was struggling with life and faith. God worked a complete miracle in his life and since he has changed to much and his faith has grown exponentially. Lately, he has been such an encouragement to me. He sends me verses every morning without fail and God really speaks through them to me. They are always butt kicking or something that I really needed to hear. This morning was Romans 8:18-the end of that section (I don't remember the verse number). God is so good and patient. I would have given up on someone like me a long time earlier.
Please forgive my self-centeredness and not loving you all like you deserve.
You know what I found interesting in psychology the other day? The hallmarks of the adolescent period of development (ages 13-21) are self-centeredness, self-consciousness, hypocrisy, indecisivness, and argumentativeness. They really view us as a lovely bunch eh? Most of those sounds more like overall human problems than just things found in adolescence. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could all just grow out of our self-centeredness and suddenely live consistently to what we profess without struggle? Fascinating class though. I'm going to miss not having psychology next semester.
