breaking it down

what up mah homie gs just breaking it down, chillin in mah crib, watching the grass grow and feeling thankful for air conditioning and other wonders of god's creation. this space reserved for self-indulgent ramblings and expressions of my pretentious quasi-teenage angst. word.

so can we just try a resurrection? and prop up this fallen down plan?

it's really hard when you want something heaps and heaps but god doesn't seem forthcoming and seems to be telling you to wait and to learn and to be patient but patience is the least thing you feel yourself capable of. and when you can't help but be massively selfish and concerned only with your own personal happiness. and when you can't control your head and make it blurt out answers to assessment tasks all the while sitting at home because said assessment tasks are overshadowing everything and seem more important than jumping around to songs about pirates and hanging out with cool people and getting fatter on krispy kremes. yet not important enough to make you stop thinking about what you want heaps and heaps and make you stop resenting the fact that god has something different planned for you and all you feel is anger towards those who have what you want and guilt about feeling anger towards those who have what you want and about resenting the god whose grace sets your place at the feast of eternity and whose glory deserves to be your only concern.

it's a sad day when you notice the advertisements for online personals sites that sit at the bottom of the msn messenger window. not that you want to click on them coz even to notice them is pathetic enough and just adds to everything.

    "...and when you can't help but be massively selfish and concerned only with your own personal happiness..."

    Heh, the irony of that is that God is massively concerned with our own personal happiness too, but he has a perspective that's a lot longer term than our own, which usually only takes into account relatively instant gratification. Relative, that is, to eternity, or even to our whole lifetime...

    What Brad said ^

    But ahh, I can relate to your entry though Alix. It can be frustrating when I know what I want and I find myself running out of patience. It's not a very complicated thing I think. But then, God has it worked out for us, and he wants what's best for us, even though it might be hard to see that now sometimes.
