Movie Night
It was ACTUALLY a week and a half of incessant bothering on my end, endless responsibilities to be taken care of on Swong’s end, and lots of stress on everybody’s plate. But it went well. 3 acres of land saved. Yeeeeeee.
It is the end of January; another month gone. That means 1/12 of the year, that means 5/10 months of the school year are over.
What’s scaring me the most right...

Stress.
- Movie Night (January 29th): Publicity needs to be done. Chaperones need to be found. Money needs to be made. Rules need to be set. Responsibilities need to be delegated. Technology needs to be checked. People need to be corralled. Support needs to be given.
- Black and White: VENUE. Competition needs to be set aside, rules of decency need to be FOLLOWED. Ideas not stolen. Venue, venue, venue....

Teenage Angst.
It’s too ordinary.
How powerful are you if you’re ordinary? If you’re the standard? How long are you going to cry out for attention?

Freeze.
Remember what it feels like to be humbled.
Never before have I lead worship by myself and never before have I frozen in front of a piano.
So remember what it feels like to be humbled. It’s not like I’ve never been humbled before; but I tend to forget to get off my high horse once in a while. In a world, surrounded 24/7 by my own thoughts and my own logic, sometimes I forget that it...

Contentment.
I’ve been having a hard time with being content, especially in this last week. All this hype about the next semester, but what is it really all about? It’s about the lack of contentment in my current situation. Hell no, I’m not happy about AP Lang. Hell no, I’m not happy about AP Chem. Hell no, I’m not happy about having to sleep 5 hours a night because I work when...

Where did You go?
…or where did I go.
You never abandoned me; I think I abandoned You. So quick was I to forget that You don’t change. So quick was I to change my priorities.
This was never a test of how worthy You were of my attention. It was always a test of how worthy I was of Yours.
So where did I go?

Check, but only by a little bit.
Ultimate testimony of things not going according to plan:
So I was done with the application. But I had to wait for Ruth because I couldn’t get fee-waivers for these applications. So I was calling her all day long, and she didn’t pick up. Finally at 11:30pm, she did. And we figured things out and I submitted at 11:45pm BUT THEN.. isn’t the...
