if you try & force things on your own time, it doesn't usually work out.
i've been so worked up lately about a bunch of different things: friendships, school work, my future, & who really am I. i tried to "fix" one of them but it doesn't seem like it paid off. i forced the issue a little too early i think. (this is really hard to write about without saying certain things lol) & i realized that God put the person in my life for a reason & He has a plan for the friendship that i don't need to go mess up. again, this issue has been out of my control & it's hard to handle. i want to be the one to fix the problem. i want to be the one who figures everything out right now & right away. but i am powerless. when you & God's ideas conflict, guess who wins? yup, He does. i'm scared of what's going to happen soon with this because i don't know where it will lead. but again if God wants it to happen, he will. by faith i need to let God lead me into the right decision & have the right state of mind for it. I'm willing to accept whatever way it might lead, even though i know one will be harder than the other.
Here's another striking verse I read. It's from James 4:1-part of verse 2 "Do you know where your fights and arguments come from? They come from the selfish desires that war within you. You want things but you do not have them." This just shows how when I want one thing & fight myself and run through all of the possibilities to get it, it's just my selfish ambition taking over. I need to let God have control of the situtation.
Hebrews 11:1 "Faith means being sure of things we hope for & knowing that something is real even if we do not see it." I wish God would just be a person, i wish i could hear his voice; boy, would that be so much easier. But if we could do that, I don't think we would have as strong enough of faith as we could have if we don't see Him. He wouldn't be as accessible. God obviously (lol) knew what he was doing when he made this earth. It's hard to fathom what was running through his head when he was creating all of this. ahhhhhh it's so coool.

lauren...great to keep up with you on your blog. keep learning the lessons...don't learn them the hard way though (whatever that means).
Oi, achei seu blog pelo google está bem interessante gostei desse post. Gostaria de falar sobre o CresceNet. O CresceNet é um provedor de internet discada que remunera seus usuários pelo tempo conectado. Exatamente isso que você leu, estão pagando para você conectar. O provedor paga 20 centavos por hora de conexão discada com ligação local para mais de 2100 cidades do Brasil. O CresceNet tem um acelerador de conexão, que deixa sua conexão até 10 vezes mais rápida. Quem utiliza banda larga pode lucrar também, basta se cadastrar no CresceNet e quando for dormir conectar por discada, é possível pagar a ADSL só com o dinheiro da discada. Nos horários de minuto único o gasto com telefone é mínimo e a remuneração do CresceNet generosa. Se você quiser linkar o Cresce.Net(www.provedorcrescenet.com) no seu blog eu ficaria agradecido, até mais e sucesso. If is possible add the CresceNet(www.provedorcrescenet.com) in your blogroll, I thank. Good bye friend.
I stumbled upon your blog from someone else...I used to go to HP.
Thanks for the verses you shared, it's been a rough week and I found them encouraging.
Hope school is going well. Reading some of your posts take me back to college years...definitly some of the best and hardest years of my life.
