| I used to hate when people didn't update at least once a week... and it was really bad when they didn't update for months at a time. Now I am one of those people! I can't think of much new to say. Finals will be over in a couple days, and that will be a huge stress reliever! | | |
| I just went through every entry I've written on Xanga since I got it in 2003. It was pretty cool to see all the things I've gone through in hindsight, and to see how I've grown and what God has taught me. Do you ever have those times when God is just beating you over the head with the same lesson over and over again? All this autumn, I've really felt challenged to love others. To really love them. Unconditionally. As God would love them. Then a sermon set me to thinking about compassion. Yes, I feel bad for others' hurts and needs, but how badly do I actually feel? Am I doing anything to meet those needs? If not, I may as well not bother to feel bad for them because I am in no way helping them. It was brought to my attention that a girl from my highschool class felt (still feels) uncomfortable around me becuase she thinks I'm judging her. Though I never meant to do so, I really feel convicted to apologize to her. And to do my best to be completely approachable to her and everyone else from here on out. Then I was reading 2 Corinthians and came across a verse that said something to the effect that we are comforted by God in our times of trouble so that we can comfort others in their time of trouble with the comfort that God has given to us. I almost started crying because I realized that I really haven't been doing a good job of caring for others. I used to look for hurting people to comfort. I would go out of my way to encourage someone or to make their load a little lighter. I'm not looking for those opportunities anymore. I've been very selfish in living comfortably in my little box. I need to step outside my comfort zone and make an effort to look for hurting people to share God's comfort with. There are a lot of little things that I want, NEED to change next semester. | | |
| Finals week is almost over, and that means my first semester as a college student at Wayne State coming to an end. It hasn't been entirely what I expected, but I do like it a lot. It keeps my plenty busy. I love always having people around. There are so many chances to meet new friends. It's been pretty official; I've done a terrible job of keeping current updates on Xanga. There's just too much to do to waste my time writing about my life. I'd much rather live it! I hope you all have a Merry CHRSTmas!! | | |
