If life were easy to understand? So, I went to church today with the family and the message was being "in the wilderness", basically, going through tough times. The pastor, something Morrison, talked about how we view troubles and difficulties in life as a bad thing. The suffering or the hardships we go through are really tough, and we whine, complain, and tell God that if he gets us out of this "wilderness" then we'll do something for him in return. Or we promise we'll do better at something. And I know I'm guilty of it. Definitely. Pastor Morrison also talked about how Satan will find us when we're at our weakest and use things that we find comforting and tempt us away from what we should be doing. Going through the wilderness is just a sign that we're doing the right thing, and we'll come out of it stronger and more proud of ourselves. He said a lot of other things that got me thinking, and I've been in a really melancholy, contemplative mood ever since...Anyways, it's been a fun day! The weekends are basically my off-duty days, so I have no responsibilities. But it's so hard for me to just sit around and not help out. They keep telling me to go somewhere, or hang out in my room, or ignore the kids, but I can't help it. I'm such a people person. And they're only here for another 5 days or so, and then it's just me and Becca for a while. It'll give me time to think of all the things I learned today, among others, and figure out my life. And if you all wouldn't mind, I need to find an internship for next semester. I've contacted so many places over the past few months, but nobody's gotten back to me yet. Any prayers or advice you can send my way is much appreciated :)
