All the time we spent in bed... fall in love and fall apart.

Thank God for Sufjan Stevens. And these lyrics. The first one really makes me appreciative of the amazing time I do get to sleep in bed, which is grounding, especially this week which is beyond stressful and into the realm of redonkulous. It's hard to praise God and thank him for his blessings when crazy weeks like this come around. And the second lyric is just a reflective one. I've had romantic feelings for more than one person this past semester, and I'm growing emotionally with everyone around me, and it's hard. Just being a college student and competing with the bombshells out there with more (physically) to offer, not really knowing if whatever relationship in front of me is one that God wants me to have.

A huge and gigantic thank you to the amazing Morgan (see profile picture at right) for introducing me to Sufjan in high school! Thank you, thank you and thank you.

I just have so much to do and I really don't know where to start. Maybe by banging my head against the keyboard.

We talked about the importance of prayer at Sunday's leadership meeting. I found out that I am always falling prey to impatience and (in the lightest sense of the word) hate. A few verses jumped out at me that night.

If we know of what we ask of Him, and we know that He hears us, we know that we
have what we have asked of Him.
John 5:14-15

Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices holy and pleasing to God - this is your spritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is - His good, pleasing and perfect will.
Romans 12:1-2

Oh, the Word of God is amazing.
