Some Days. . .

Some days I feel like an idiot.
That's when I have to restrain myself from face-palming every few minutes because of something I forgot, or said, or did. 

Today is one of those days.

I forgot to order the textbook for one of my classes, and I'll need it by next Tuesday.
And the textbook is out of print.
So I'm going to have to have quite the chase looking for it before hand.

On top of that I'm taking a block class this week, with up to 5 (maybe 6?) hours in the classroom PER DAY.

Yup.
I'm going to be so worn out by Saturday. . .
Well, what I'm learning I'm loving, so that's something to look forward too at least!
As an added bonus, it's very important to know as well!

God is Good, ALL the Time!

God Bless,

The Road Goes Every On and On. . .


The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.
~J. R. R. Tolkien, The Road Goes Ever On and On

My life feels like this song right now.
My first semester in college is done.
I now have seven left to go.
After that, I do not know.
It's times like these when I sit back and stare in amazement at everything before me and behind.

Who am I, Lord?
Who am I that You have shown me the next path to take for now?
Who am I that You have directed me this far?
Who am I, Lord?
Who am I?

All that I know, is that I'm a creation of the Creature, and must follow what He tells me to do.
For now, I'm to follow the path of a student.
In four years, He'll show me the next path.
I'll just have to wait until then.

Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though I oft have passed them by,
A day will come at last when I
Shall take the hidden paths that run
West of the Moon, East of the Sun.
~J. R. R. Tolkien, A Walking Song

God Bless
