Weird sounding, I suppose.. what about my desire to have 2005 mustang? or my desire to have alot of money? Is that really from God? Well I am thinking the answer to that is yes.

Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. 10That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

I have been avoiding I guess? Too much on my mind- I feel like I probably cant put into words. So I wont even try too much. Went to the Vineyard tonight.. the message was on "boundaries." good stuff. I have heard alot about boundaries from going to New Life and read the boundaries book.. but I think you can always learn more and get better at it.

I built some closer relationships with our grp, sweet fellowship, always encouraging. We had a great speaker too, claude, from the traveling team. To be honest.. when I found out what the speaker was going to be talking about, world missions, I was thinking.. oh great, missionaries? the world? this is not my calling right now, so who caresTrishnic8noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5873832.post-1065762631727839152003-10-10T00:58:00.000-04:002003-10-10T01:10:31.810-04:00Had an awesome talk with Meg over lunch today. it seems we are really in the same spot with some things and it is so good to connect about it. Both of us are really struggling with motivation for school and wanting to do something more for God with our life- and not in the future... but right now! we are tired of expecations from people, parents, & the world... we are ready for God to give us a Trishnic8noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5873832.post-1065578675901926982003-10-08T00:01:00.000-04:002003-10-08T00:22:34.723-04:00RELATIONSHIPS ARE SO HARD!!! I thought I knew that a long time ago, but apparently not. Just when you think things are totally great, things get difficult again. Not really difficult bad, but difficult in a good way--- like refining I guess.. but how in the heck do people deal with this? I will never know. maybe I am just way too emotional? why do I always feel like I have to commit more to Trishnic8noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5873832.post-1065504921342242832003-10-07T02:15:00.000-04:002003-10-07T02:17:21.366-04:00"There is a deep desire within each of us, in the deep center of ourselves that we call our heart. We were born with it, it is never completely satisfied, and it never dies... our true identity, our reason for being, is to be found in desire." "In the quiet moments of the day we sense a nagging within, a discontentment, a hunger for something else.

So I guess I am going to try and work on these things?! i dont know.

I came to school early to study. I have a test at 1:00 in linear algebra- pretty sure I am not going to do so well.. I tried studying for like 10 minutes. It went okay- but still I dont have much motivation in this math thing. I dont know what to do about it. I am sick of thinking about it actually. But the funny thing is I kind of have a peaceTrishnic8noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5873832.post-1065014976674723042003-10-01T09:24:00.000-04:002003-10-01T09:31:52.660-04:00Getting ready to go to school right now, and I dont really even want to go. It is hard to keep myself motivated these days, for schoolwork anyways. I dont know what I want to do with my life- I dont know if this math major idea is it for me or not. I visited my math teacher from high school last friday, and that was so encouraging to me.

I started reading it a while back with Oradinary Community, and of course never finished it. I was curious what I underlined in it, and I wanted to try and finish reading it... maybe... probably wont happen- but it was a good thought. Anyways- I wanted to write out some of the things I underlined, b/c Trishnic8noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5873832.post-1064866239743033262003-09-29T16:48:00.000-04:002003-09-29T16:48:16.520-04:00Went to vineyard last night with cory. It was a good message about imageism, how we all try and portray these images to people and get wrapped up in that. I can honestly say that I feel like I have let go of that trap so much in my life. I use to be so caught up in trying to be this perfect friend, person, good student, christian girl- to gain acceptance.

I have read a few others and I think it is kind of a fun idea- figured I might try it, but knowing me, I probably wont keep up with it, we will see. It might be fun to connect with people this way, maybe let out some of these thoughts that crowd my mind all of the time. we'll see I guess. Trishnic8noreply@blogger.com
