Attribution? I thought I dropped journ!!!
So i was a little inconsiderate and neglected to attribute those poems accordingly. They were in fact written by Lauren O'brien, delightful BA student in her first year. She has blonde hair, blue eyes and not so much as a hint of an Irish accent... But still, she is pretty fabulous.
Today is somewhat of a novel experience for me. Today is the first day that I have ever disagreed with the Big Man Upstairs. I have often disobeyed Him (actually it's more than often) but never have I actually disagreed. Even when I did something for Him that I didn't want to do I still did it with some form of knowledge that enabled me to understand why I was doing what I was doing for Him. This time I have no such information and as a result am still quite attached to reasons as to why I don't want to do what He wants me to do. My subject of contension has to do with dropping a Sociology 2. Seeing as I dislike it, don't really understand it and find it affecting my majors I really wanted to drop it, also, I did 5 subjects last year and so can afford to drop it. Being me I avoided asking God what He thought about the matter because I thought he wouldn't let me drop it. I asked EVERYONE else. And they all gave the go-ahead, except James - He was the only one who wouldn't and in telling me why I shouldn't he raised some hard-hitting questions as to why I should keep it and why I shouldn't drop it.
And then came God's opinion on the matter. He referred me to Ephesians 6. Several points came up, such as 'submitting to God's will', 'goodness being rewarded', 'having patience' and 'resisting the devil'.
Can't say that I agree with keeping the subject but am working on keeping my heart in good place about listening and heeding God's word - I know He knows better than me and has as good as said that I should obey without the added bonus of knowing why... So maybe I should just praise Him no matter what and get my head and heart in line with the One that knows me and my future the best.
Easier said than done...

Hey, thanks for the reference. Makes me feel almost NB. I feel that it is a really good post and I hear your issues. But as you say, the Big Guy knows what He's doing, even when we think otherwise. 'He should never have taken his work home with him as that evening while he slept, it ate him. cheerio amego (spelt that way on purpose). tehe
Ah my chicken... at least you doing what He wants you to... your heart will follow (eventually :p) love you lots and yes, i know you're watching me!!!! hehe :D p.s. "I don't go... congratulaaaaaaations... no." hehe :)
but isnt it if ur caught talking in the parrish doors that ur about ready to set the wedding date and have almost got ur kids names?
I shouldn't be writing this because I haven't actually read your post because I'm so very drained right now but just wanted to say HI! and I hope the pic we made for you shows up on your blog soon, and also your cushion is getting lonely and is worried about how my pillow is eyeing her, and is struggling to guard her... stuffing. What should I do with it?
