It gets me at night
I can't hide from it at night. I can run around all day long and ignore it, but at night I can't forget. It's too quiet at night

I understand the reason. I understand why, but I still don't like it. In some ways I asked for this and now that it's happening I'm not happy because it's not happening how I wanted it too. That's really ridiculous of me.
I wanted this, I prayed for it, hoped for it, begged for it, and now because it isn't how I want it I'm unhappy.
I wish the word ungrateful didn't apply to me right now.

It's hard to believe that this time next week, I'll be at home. It's kinda bittersweet. I love the life that I have made for myself here. I love my friends and my church here! I love my family and friends at home though too and I miss them. It's so odd that I'll be home in Zachary for the summer. I'll no longer have my dorm, or my job at the library. It's a change. I used to hate change, but now I want to use it as best I can

Money - It makes the world go round - right??

Fri, 07 Mar 2008 02:23:56 GMT

So I've been thinking about money, in the past week it seems like I've heard that "Money makes the world go round" phrase about a thousand times. And yes, I do wish I had more money to pay for things I want/kinda need.
Mainly though I was thinking that I wish there was some way that we could redefine. I wish we could all decide that money didn't make the world go round. (very idealistic I know). I wish we could decide that something else made the world go round - like love or dreams or hardwork or any of those really noble ideas that seem to be disappearing these days.
Don't mistake me here, I'm not saying that we should do away with money, I just wish we could all depend on the goodness of fellow man to take care of us if we fall on hard times, I know that's silly though. I guess we'll just have to depend on the goodness of God for when things get bad. Personally, I still wish I had some more money, maybe I could get a car, or all those books I want, maybe I would even help some people (if I didn't get too greedy!) Just kidding, I hope I would help other people first. Anyway those are my thoughts.

Our Greatest Fear

Our Greatest Fear —Marianne Williamson

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us.

We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous,
talented and fabulous?

Actually, who are you not to be?

You are a child of God.

Your playing small does not serve the world.

There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other

people won't feel insecure around you.

We were born to make manifest the glory of
God that is within us.

It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone.

And as we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other people
permission to do the same.

As we are liberated from our own fear,
Our presence automatically liberates others.

—Marianne Williamson

I love this. I think it gives a lot of hope. It was paraphrased by Nelson Mandela once in a speech, so a lot of people think that it was first said by him, but it's in her book.

So, I'm watching Oliver Twist (why I don't know) and all the little boys sing in the beginning. They sing "food, glorious food" and I suddenly realized that I never knew where that came from before! Kinda funny!

Esta ano es mi turno!!!
