Just alittle something i designed...

like a seal

Place me like a seal over your heart,
like a seal on your arm;
for love is as strong as death,
its jealousy unyielding as the grave.
It burns like blazing fire,
like a mighty flame.
Many waters cannot quench love;
rivers cannot wash it away.

Song of Songs 8:6-7

give yourself a break

I've been pretty stressed lately. Lots of things happening at home, in school, and with friends. One thing that has really been bugging me is the grade i got on a recent College Algebra test. After our professor decided to grade on a curve i ended up with a B...but i don't usually get B's, so it was a shock. It made me realize that i had to figure out a better way to study the things we're learning in class, because the prof doesn't assign homework, she just gives quizzes and tests. Anyways, today as i was walking to class i found myself thinking, "Wow, if i can't even do well in a College Algebra class, how am i ever going to get through college? How am i going to pass the super hard classes required for nursing?" And then i stopped and all of the sudden phrase popped into my head- "Give yourself a break!" I realized that this is really the first experience i've had with a challenging college class... i'll improve on my studying skills with practice. There is no reason to stress out about a silly B.

That was the most freeing moment of my day.

hate vs LOVE

Lately, my hate for sin has to been growing larger each day.
But ohhh, my LOVE for the gospel is doing the same.

Romans 12:9
Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.

love and love

Sitting together on a swing under the stars, a friend once told me-

"You just love and love and love until it hurts... and then you love some more."

sigh...

I now understand the phrase: "Between a rock and a hard place."
But i wish i didn't.
