thoughts:
That last post is a poem/prayer by a woman named Amena Brown, done at the oneday link. im sure many have already seen it, but if you havent, i encourage you to check it out, or at least read it through. i listened to it this morning, and was pretty much blown away and humbled. been thinking, not much in life is worth anything besides Christ. so often we try and try and we end up failing, and theres a lot to be said about persevering and trying your best and working hard at being a 'good' Christian. but the abundant life that Christ promised is not that. the life that he offers can only be obtained when we lay ourselves down and surrender to his ways. we try so hard to control our world, control our lives. Christ is offering to do that for us. the crucified life that he calls us to means that we must surrender daily, every moment of our lives. that we must fall down at his feet, demanding less of us, and much, much more of him. something ive got to learn. something we've all got to work at.

happenings:
my parents came out and took sharon and i out to dimsum today. was very yummy. mmm good to see them again, considering i probably wont be heading home next week. maybe the week after. we'll see. after lunch, tried to go to the library and do some work, but didnt really do much, just tried to figure out my sociology paper topic, but still havent decided yet. i would do gender roles and such, but the prof seems to be a pretty big femminist, so best stay away from that :) tonight, went to jt's place where he cooked for a bunch of us, just ate and hang out, was very nice. hes a very good cook, but theyre not the most entertaining hosts :) haha but thats okay, it was fun.

feelings:
