So I had to shop today…I know I know usually I love it but today I was shopping for an outfit for an internship interview, it was not half as fun as shopping for everyday clothes. Then there was an information session for the interview in which they discussed Healthcare, 401k’s, and retirement. And then came the refining of the resume and the writing of about a bazillion cover letters for one of the many internships I applied for. So for this summer I could be residing in Ormond Beach, Nashville, NYC, Orlando, Bristol CT, or some other random place I just happen to end up. When did I grow up? I cannot believe that I graduate next year…by the way why I am getting a degree in political science again? I have no intention of actually working in politics 
Anyways I should be reading for my economics class tomorrow but the movie No Reservations just seems so much more interesting so….
Growing up February 28, 2008
Some thoughts… February 27, 2008
I was going over my notes from Bible study and reading some scripture and this one hit my like a ton of bricks. It is probably one of the most convicting passages I have ever read.
2 Timothy 3:1-5
“But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come. For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. ”
I am guilty of all of these. How many times do we think we have it all figured out and yet we are still so far from what we are supposed to be. God’s grace is so good and it is such a beautiful thing. The beauty of salvation is that despite all of this God still chooses to save us. It is not because of anything we have done but because He loves us and He wants us! I think we get caught in this self-righteous trap where we say look I am doing it right, and yet at that point we are so far from where God wants us to be. Still I feel so overwhelmed and think can I truly live up to this? Oswald Chambers talks about how we feel like God’s ideas are not in touch with reality because our pride tells us that He can’t do what we can’t. How our misgivings about Jesus come from the fact that we try to search within ourselves to find the how He will do what He says He can.
escape from liberalization policies and public administration February 25, 2008
I have come to realize that studying for hours upon end in the library is no fun at all. Unfortunately there is still a lot I need to learn before 9:30 am tomorrow and I have a feeling that this all nighter will be a record for me. Its probably my fault for taking a 4000 level economics class that I do not need but hey it looked interesting. Remind me never to do that again. Thank God for good music otherwise I think I would be going crazy. Here’s whats on the playlist for the library: Jars of Clay, Brooke Fraser, Drew Powell, Jon McLaughlin, Kate Voegele, Hillsong United, Sara Groves, and Matt Wertz. Anways I guess I should be attempting to learn about capital account liberalization so goodbye for now.
