I know, I know…I bought the greatest series [SCRUBS] to come to DVD on opening day on Nov. 15th. I had my B-day and am now 22 years old. ..Jen and I went down to her house for the Thanksgiving break. I had a fun but, unsuccessful hunt. Now I am sitting here with a 20 page paper due on Dec. 1st and I have a 6 inch thick pile of loose paper to read for it.
Pray for me and Jen too, we got nothing done in the way of homework last week.

Waking up a 6:00am is no picnic, especially if you were up until 3:00am that night. I got up this morning with such a distain for sunlight, birds and little sisters. I took a shower, said goodbye to Jen and drove to Albany around 7:30am. Just before I left I prayed to the Lord for help, all the stress of the week was about to collapse on me. I have three papers due soon, I have to register for LSAT’s and be able to pay for them and get a criminal justice class waived. I arrived at The University at Albany about 40 minutes before class started so I could do my homework. It took 25 minutes to look for a parking spot. I found one: The doctor’s office parking lot. After a long walk to the campus I arrived in the library. With a prayer to God, I got my homework for Portuguese completed. Five minutes after this miracle I went to class, fought off sleep and finally finished up class at 11:20am. As soon as class ended I ran back to my car and headed downtown to Draper Hall [Criminal Justice Dept. Office]. I had to go down to Draper to talk to the Dean about waiving a class, I prayed on my way to the office for two things: The Dean to waive my class and a parking spot. I think the bigger miracle happened first; I got a parking spot right near the door. As I climbed the steps to the Dean’s office I stayed in a continual state of prayer. I found the Dean was very friendly and waived my class without issue. I got back into my car, got lunch and headed back to my dorm. I just signed got to sign up for my LSAT’s and will be taking them in February. I have been so stressed over so many issues; it’s nice to know that someone is looking out for me. Whether it be relationships, money or not knowing how you will graduate put your trust in the Lord.
“Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.”
–Proverbs 3:4-6
“I will lift up my eyes to the hills—
From whence comes my help?
My help comes from the LORD,
Who made heaven and earth.
He will not allow your foot to be moved;
He who keeps you will not slumber.
Behold, He who keeps Israel
Shall neither slumber nor sleep.
The LORD is your keeper;
The LORD is your shade at your right hand.
The sun shall not strike you by day,
Nor the moon by night.
The LORD shall preserve you from all evil;
He shall preserve your soul.
The LORD shall preserve your going out and your coming in
From this time forth, and even forevermore.” –Psalms 121
God is good. That is all.
I acquiesce myself over and over again, why in the world do I get so caught up in temporary instead of the permanent? The temporary are things that don’t really amount to bagatelle, things that are small trifles that only I [this is my soliloquy, I am only talking to myself] find important: Time to hang out with my friends on weekends, luxury such as, alcohol and other frivolities when I should really be spending more time on the permanent. Permanency is the eternal, how can I justify watching a movie and screw around with my friends when I haven’t even read my Bible today? My prayer life is nowhere near what I want it to be, granted I talk to God all day long but, it’s not quiet time. Quiet time is time set aside for God and I, I am I so self-absorbed that I can overpass my Creator to spend more time with my family? Why do I do this? It has to change. Fin.
