After only getting around 3 hours of sleep last night, my day consisted of a 3 1/2 hour nap after my morning classes. Later I went to ballet and had our final performance then to the gym with Kaitlin so we could work out a little bit. When I came home, I talked to my mom on the phone for quite awhile, and I think I complained enough to her in one night to make up for all the complaining she has missed out on since I moved out.
After eating dinner, I started to talk to my friend about a dillemma I'm in with what I want to do on Wednesday. It's my suitemate's birthday and everyone is going out to dinner... But I don't really want to go, plus it's the last night of Bible study for the whole semester. So I had to decide if I was going to A) lie to her and make up a reason for not going or B) go and be totally unhappy... Or this is what I thought my options were. After talking to Spencer and my Bible study leader, Shannon, they brought it to my attention that I shouldn't go unless I'm going to be joyful about it. Shannon also brought up something that we had gone over last week in Bible study... We each chose a command to try and follow through with this next week. Lucky for me, I chose "bless those who persecute you" and "do not seek revenge". So through that, we all came to the conclusion that I should go and be happy about it because it will show that I'm making an effort to be a good roommate despite the outside circumstances of the situation. Plus I'm going to try to leave early if that's possible... So that I can go to Bible study too. I hate and love, all at once, that Shannon and Spencer have the ability to turn things around on me and make me rethink things in that way. I have amazing friends who hold me accountable for my actions in the best way possible (:
Like hinges straining from the weight, my heart no longer can keep from singing... All that is within me cries, for You alone be glorified: Emmanuel, God with us. ♥
