so i didnt study for my finals today--yet knew a majority of the answers...so basically that ruined my whole rhythm bc now i wont study for anything...oh well i honestly dont care because in the scheme of things my sophmore final exam grades will not matter. its been so hot--i love it and yet at the same time i hate it....i love the sunshine and so forth but the whole i cant even grab the recycle bin without breaking a sweat doesnt strike my fancy. i'll get used to it, as floridians tend to do.
the Big Guy has been very active in my life lately...i was reading a bit in this book, And The Bride Wore White, a book on purity, and this one chapter kind of stuck out...the woman who wrote this book, Dannah Gresh, is talking about her husband, while they were "dating" and the rough times they had had. she talks about how they both knew their relationship lacked a certain level of Godliness, basically that she was too focused on him and not on her Savior, and so she ended it hoping and praying to God that if they were meant to truly be together, He would lead her back to him when she was spiritually ready.
the whole scenario was unreal to me--i mean the amount of faith in God and strength you have to have to give up the person you love for Jesus, which really compared for what He gave for us is no big deal but since we're human--it is a pretty big deal to sacrifice your love...you know? i was just amazed that she could do that--i'm not sure i could. but God always has a plan, and they eneded up married which rocks, it gives me real faith and renewed courage in difficult times to not just take the easy way out...to strive to do all that i can for God...just something to dwell on
by the way, any girl who struggles with purity or wants to know more--or just wants to read a great book...pick up And the Bride Wore White by Dannah Gresh...its a wonderful book that you can actually apply to your life and its changed my perspective in a few radically positive ways
