wake up

I didn't want to get out of bed this morning, but I didn't have trouble waking up. Leslie might beg to differ because she probably heard me press the snooze button about 4 times... I was actually just lying in bed though. I have realized that I am anti-rushing. I don't like being in a rush, so I have been taking measures to give myself more time to do things. For instance, instead of doing like I used to do and waking up 15 minutes before I leave, I actually give myself an additional hour or maybe even two... depending on how I'm feeling that day. It's nice to have breakfast and time to pack a litle snack for class. Sometimes I even pull out My Utmost and read the selection for the day. I need to increase that. Leslie and I did a lil bible study yesterday. It was really impromptu, but cool. We talked about the lack of unity among Christians and we talked about One-ness in Christ. I don't really see other Christians as connected to me eternally, but they really are. I'm cursed with this them-and-me type of perception. When you tie others to the things you do in life, it puts a different spin on your actions. I'll tell you that much. We read from Ephesians 4 about unity, which lead to a discussion of the current state of Christian thinking and how people are on different sides of issues. Before that we read about Paul's thorn in 2 Corinthians12. We just talked about whether it was actually a thorn or not (cuz I was a lil confused) we decided, after looking at the study bible notes that linked it to Job 2:7, that it was simply an affliction, well maybe not so simple. We all have our fair share of afflictions and weaknesses, disabilities if you will that require God's intervention. It's like our weaknesses glorify Him because when we are aware of our shortcomings, it makes us constantly aware of the fact that we need His perfect strength. I don't have anything else special to say for right now though. I'm going to what is possibly my last step exhibition at Tech tonight. It will be interesting I think. I didn't go last year. The folk that are greek now are the folk that came in with me. God I'm so glad to be leaving this place soon!
