interesting quiz and various ramblings
Sep. 3rd, 2003 04:50 pm( Didn't think I would come out as a fair lady... )
I used to be a guttersnipe, eh? LOL, how flattering! Actually, it's a pretty accurate picture of what I'd be without the Lord. :-)
Exhaustion overwhelms me. Not quite to the point of being clinical, however. I'm just tired from a full day at school, coming home in pouring rain, and contemplating the two hours of piano practice I should put in this evening. Maybe I'll accomplish some more on my pieces. That would be nice! For anyone who's interested, this semester I'm learning Moment Musicaux Op. 94, No. 6 by Schubert, The Snow is Dancing by Debussy (part of the Children's Corner Suite), and Sonata No. 20 in G by Beethoven. Only I haven't started learning the latter yet. ;-) I ordered the music (along with a Czerny exercise book) yesterday, and am hoping it will get here in the next couple of days. I'm hoping the Beethoven sonata won't be too difficult, since I know I learned most of it back when I fiddled with piano on my own. We'll see if I actually remember what I worked on then...!
The Oregon video didn't come today. I was hoping it would. Oh well...God's timing isn't the same as mine. Funny how that truth makes itself apparent every day in both large and small ways, isn't it? So I will learn more patience and try not to hope too implicitly that tomorrow will be the day I get to relive perhaps the most memorable trip of my life. :-)
On my desktop, I have a picture of the bride and groom plus all the girls who came to the wedding. I love booting up my computer and seeing my best buddies' smiling faces all in a row! The background is very lovely, too. Everything's green and shady, with sun peeking through the trees. It's nice to have a sunny computer on a day like this, when everything outdoors is damp, dreary, and gray.
I can't think of anything very profound to share. Only that God is awesome. He really is. :-) He keeps reminding me that no matter what difficulties or temptations or feelings or stresses I face, He is right there beside me every step of the way. He is revealing, once again, that He is all I need. And that I can't trust my fickle human feelings. It really is amazing how changeable my mind is! Humorous, almost. I roll my eyes at myself a lot. ;-) I'm just thankful that my Lord knows my infirmities and loves me anyway. As I was walking from one class to another this afternoon, He reminded me of this verse: "Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ" (Phillipians 1:6). That made me smile. God has not given up on me!
You know...Having a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ is the most amazing and the sweetest thing in the world.
