"There are certain things in life that we need not pray about--moods, for instance. We will never get rid of moodiness by praying, but we will by kicking it out of our lives. Moods nearly always are rooted in some physical circumstance, not in our true inner self. It is a continual struggle not to listen to the moods which arise as a result of our physical condition, but we must never submit to them for a second. We have to pick ourselves up by the back of the neck and shake ourselves; then we will find that we can do what we believeed we were unable to do. The problem that most of us are cursed with is simply that we won't. The Christian life is one of spiritual courage and determination lived out in our flesh." -taken from "May 20" of My Utmost for His Highest by Oswald Chambers
Yeah, so the part in red is something I've been struggling with. I think I attribute too many of my downfalls to my human nature rather than actually being determined to not let them master my life. I say this carefully though, because there are spiritual things that only God can remove from your life. We just can't underestimate the power of self-discipline.
...and its another boring night in Caldwell 104. I took a nap until about 9pm and then I went grocery shopping...and spent $90 but I am going to stretch the CRAP outta what I bought, since I'm so broke. Therefore, don't come over askin me for no food...j/k. I am aware that Jesus fed thousands with 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish, so if you are hungry I will be more than happy to feed you: "And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me."~Matthew 25:40
I have to wake up and be up at church for 9:30am tomorrow, so I guess I'll start the evening wind down.
*Please pray for me that God would provide me with an on campus job, since I am broke.
