My baby girls at Regent. What a beautiful day.

Family Visit and a test

Family came to visit today. I am so tired, and my feet hurt from all the walking. It is a pleasurable visit, yet I have a test tomorrow for a class, and I am lost on the subject. When I signed up for the class, I assumed it would be a piece of cake. I assumed incorrectly. They will be here until Monday, so I need to get my act together, if i want to pass this test. Entertaining and studying is not a very good couple. I can not get into the reading. It is so odd, because my other class's reading is so inspirational. I can't put the book down. The class I am already worried about, is like reading Greek. The study guide for the quiz confused me even more. I just need to relax, take a nap, and start over again tomorrow. I have been off all summer, and I go back to work on Monday, so I foresee more frustration. Let me take this all in stride. And start again.

Quote of the Day

"How is it they live in such harmony the billions of stars - when most men can barely go a minute without declaring war in their minds about someone they know. " Saint Thomas Aquinas

I am struggling quite a bit this summer with my feelings towards another. I find myself speaking when I should listen, and fussing when I should pray. I needed to find the right verse to get me back on the right path with this person. I need God to help me with this flaw in my life. It is a hard one I am finding.

(Ephesians 4:25-32) 25 Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to his neighbor, for we are all members of one body. 26"In your anger do not sin": Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, 27and do not give the devil a foothold. 28He who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing something useful with his own hands, that he may have something to share with those in need.

29Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. 30And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. 31Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. 32Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.
