| I have noticed a trend. Bad attitudes are not rewarded with positions of leadership. Legitimate, influential, money-making -- yes money-making -- positions of leadership are had by people who are not whiners and complainers. This has been the overwhelming majority of my experience.
I am sick of bad attitudes. I don't want to hear you complain about how busy you are, how upset you are about mandatory chapel/revival/whatever, how much you don't like this rule or this requirement or this school, how you don't like this evangelist because he said this thing which is clearly heretical and hell-worthy doctrine...get a good attitude and maybe you will earn a position that enables you to influence real change. You are a healthy, well-fed, privileged member of a spoiled American society. No one wants to hear you gripe. At least I don't.
Thank you. | | |
| I have learned so much about these past few weeks. I learned that I can do SO MUCH more than I thought I could - my limits have been pushed and I have been made stronger.
This musical has been amazing. I hope I get to do many more of them at ORU. Performing is......wow, I just don't even know how to describe it. Bringing joy to so many people and truly warming their hearts by just singing and talking and emoting from a stage is SO remarkable...it gives me such a high and sense of accomplishment.
I LOVE life that is full, hard, wholesome, and diffused with the light and glory of God.
And I have also decided something. The summer after I graduate, I am going to hike the Appalachian trail. I have to plan this far ahead, because it will be like 3 months out of my life. I have been thinking about this for a long time, and have finally decided that it's something I really really want to do. I will have to get training, obviously, and find 1 or 2 serious friends who will do it with me, but it will definitely happen. I just decided that my mind and spirit would become SO cleared and focused, and my priorities would be so much better defined, and my heart so much closer to God's heart, that it would be totally worth it. So. I have it in print - hold me to it.

| So. I go to rehearsal at 6. We had a VERY long and stressful practice - full of missed cues and lame ad libs. Our costume changes were nightmares. The show was 40 minutes too long, and we finished at 10:45. Then we had notes until 11:20 - yes, I was excused from hall meeting, but still, I really didn't want to miss it since it's my first week as chaplain. That really stinks. Anyway, the notes were all bad - the show didn't have enough energy, we were too slow, too mechanical, too tired looking, etc....then I rushed back to my floor and my RA had almost had a concussion from running into a closed door - of all things. So that was rough. (she's ok now) Then I spilled blue coolaid on my costume (yeah that is like the one thing you DO NOT want to do - we have been warned about a hundred times to not let any food or drinks near them) which I had brought back to the room because I have to get up at like 5 tomorrow and get in full costume so we can be on channel 6 at 8:25...then I realized I was missing my petticoat (a very important part, ok?), but assumed that the lady at the desk wouldn't let me out of the building, so I called what I knew to be the director's cell # (that's what it said on the contact page, I swear) - yeah, I definitely woke up her husband whom I don't know from adam. So I apologized profusely and then wheedled the desk lady into letting me run back to the auditorium for 5 minutes to grab my costume. And now I'm back in my room. I will get about 5 hours of sleep - and then I have a big paper due tomorrow which isn't quite finished. And reading for my philosophy of science class which I haven't even started...then I have to write a paper about it. And music theory homework. And chaplain duties which will go very neglected until after the show. AND my new room is still in a great disarray beecause I haven't finished unpacking.
This past couple of weeks has been pushing me like I've never been pushed before - I honestly didn't know it was possible for one human being to do so much in a normal 24 hour day. Prayer is greatly appreciated.
*sigh* Well. I feel better. I hope you are all well and lucid and that you remain so. | | |
| Wow, Jesus is really all I need.
It's amazing how many times you can realize something for the first time.
Praise the Lord  | | |
| I have always loved the feeling you get right after you puke. It's like agony and torment and despair, followed by complete relaxation and comfort. And you think "Wow I am completely better now!" And then an hour later you do it all over again. It's strange....I was talking to my dad about it, and he said "maybe that's what heaven will be like. the feeling after you throw-up." I asked him if he meant he thought that life was like throwing up, and he laughed and said, "yes and the Holy Spirit is like medicine for while we're here."
Haha sorry that really sounds sacreligious now that I read it. Anyway I'm feeling better now, praise the Lord. | | |
