"I will surely bless you and give you many descendants. And so after waiting patiently, Abraham received what was promised." - Hebrews 6:14-15
I really should be studying for the 2 exams I have this week but in the grand scheme of things, that won't matter in Heaven. Yes, Jesus wants me to study and to pass, but with His help I'll get it all done and things will be ok. There's no reason to stress about it. That's my new outlook on things lately - don't stress, things will be ok.
I read that Hebrews verse above today. It totally spoke to me because I was trying to get bumped into a class with no luck and today when I called the department, the lady said she will try to get me in and literally a couple minutes after ending the call, I checked my email and was informed that I got bumped into the class. I was like "Thank you Jesus!" It was so awesome to see God answer prayers even for something as little as that. and then I read the verse. ...waiting patiently, Abraham received what was promised. wow. Good things come to those who are patient and wait in the Lord. That is so cool to me.
Anyways, I've noticed lately that I literally have no time to watch any television and it hasn't bothered me either which is strange. I've been eating, sleeping, breathing, working, going to class, studying, doing homework, and spending time with God. That basically sums up my entire life this semester. And shockingly, I don't necessarily have a problem with that. It is really weird. And if I ever do have time to watch tv, I don't even know what shows are on and I still haven't figured out which channels are what here in mt. p. after being here for almost 2 years. oh my lanta. and to top it off, we don't have a remote, and the bottoms are broken on the tv so you have to use an ink pen that is weirdly stuck in the button holes to change the channel. it's quite a sight to see, but we're all still living.
This post is all over the place because I'm currently on my study break but still kind of trying to study still. I don't know what that would even be called. it's like a half-break. A couple weekends ago I was actually watching tv (there's a shocker) and I was watching The Big Bang Theory. It's quite entertaining I must say. My advice to you would be to watch a couple of episodes. It is very funny and strangely links science and education things with humor. Like in one episode, Sheldon dressed up as the Doppler Effect for Halloween. I find that quite amusing. I never knew what the actual definition of the Doppler Effect until I watched The Big Bang Theory. you see? you can always learn from something.
My leisurely lesson to you would to just take a break from the mundane life that you live. Just sit back and relax and think about Jesus. Think about your blessings and thank God for them. You never know when He might decide that you don't need them. Not that He wants to hurt you, He knows what's best for you and that's sometimes hard to understand. but we are in no way, shape or form wise enough to know what we actually need and how to live our lives without Jesus.
