Saturday Soup
Things I've learned or re-learned in the past 48 hours
- It's easy to psych yourself out by being afraid of your emotions. What I mean is that if you're afraid of feeling a certain way, and you dwell on that fear, you will feel that way. Because life's kind of vicious like that.
- When I don't want to do something, I either avoid it at all costs or rush headlong into it. Sometimes in life, neither is a plausible option.
- Friends make things easier to bear, even if you have to bear them alone. (I totally wasn't trying to make a LOTR reference there, but I realize it completely came out that way.)
- ^^ which reminds me: the other day I was talking about how my roommate's desk was really deep and how I liked it, also (completely honestly) exclaiming, "and it's wide!" My other roommate looked at me like I was a dweeb and kicked me out of the room.
- I hate planning, packing, and moving. I hate when all three coincide.
- I haven't even moved yet, and I feel like I'm missing out on things already. (Because I am.)
- I think everyone, or at least a lot of Christians want to have "more faith" but don't really want to be in situations where they'll need it. Dear God, I think I have enough for now, thanks.
- If the man was able to pray for more faith because he wanted it, I think if you have enough faith to believe that God will answer a prayer to want more faith, then He'll provide both the want and the faith.
- At least I know where I'm moving to. Abram didn't have that luxury. I guess that's why he's the father of faith.
