Learning how to love and how to live by His example.

Sometimes, I wish I could change the way I say things. January 14, 2009

Today was overall a good day. Had one class–philosophy. Such an interesting class, I honestly thought it would be really boring, but it’s thought-provoking and almost fun. I just said that. I could sum it up in one word though: Socrates. :) haha..which reminds me of my friend, Sammy, cause she said sometimes..”I believe it was Socrates who once said..” and then put in something hilarious. 

When you accept Christ does your overall nature change instantly or is it a process? For me, it’s been one of the longest/hardest processes that I have dealt with. I guess I thought it would be like magic and I would be happier, nicer, etc..but that’s not exactly what happens. I mean, if you are consistent with prayer and digging into His word, then you would be a happier, nicer person. For me, consistency is so tough. I mean, right now I am doing alright with it–maintaining daily time with Him because I’m involved in a study. But I guess I feel that if I didn’t have a study or something to guide me..would I be as adamant about being in the word? 

At the end of today I really regretted how I acted. I was so lame. Handled a situation with a friend in an extremely immature way. I couldn’t let my pride down. It honestly makes me so angry that I had that much pride. At the time I said I was sorry for being stupid, but I don’t know if I meant it. Now-I’m just angry that I couldn’t let it go.

I hope you have a great week. You are cherished by a King. 

P.S. My english teacher called the roll and said “Jennifer Legit” it was the first time someone pronounced my name that way. I just said, I prefer to be called Jenny. Ha..great.

    LEGIT. Yes, you are. I’m glad that Socrates reminds you of me. Classics.
    Just so you know when I’m not involved in a constant study or something with a time-line, I am far less interested in “being in the word” every day than I would be if I were involved/committed to something tangible, or that holds me accountable. What I’m saying is, “Oh, I get that. You relate to me.” So, eh.. right. I miss you. Call me?

    P.S. one time Kyle said, “hey Sammy whenever you say ‘legit’ you should say something after like ‘copyright Kyle Liggett.’” I said, “that’s probably not going to happen.”
