...mhm bop.

woke up today at 715. that explains it all. haha. went to bed at like 1. what am i thinking when i decide to stay up longer/later? hm. 8 a.m. classes shouldn't really exist. it's true. what will my day consist of today? well- a nap for starters. after this, i'm going back to sleep for like an hour or so. i need some sort of rest. one of my classes for today was cancelled so i just have one left! yes! i decided i'm not going shagging tonight. i have two tests next week, i'll try to get caught up before the weekend. speaking of the weekend, i'm going home! i haven't been home in several weeks and i miss it! i'm going to be babysitting and trying to get some more money towards my trip....i'm kind of looking forward to resting up this weekend as well. um-so another ongoing event in my life right now. reading the book of daniel, as suggested by my friend Haley :). it is awesome. let me tell you about it. sooo, daniel is asked to enterpret king Nebukanezzer's (sp? i'll just refer to him as King N) dream. the king has a dream about this really tall tree and lots of wealth, etc. then basically, everything is stripped away. the tree is cut to a bare stump and cattle and animals are everywhere and there is little prospering anymore. the dew of heaven is everywhere, however. okay so-that was a rough enterpretation. now-daniel explains that this tree is King N. king N is very properous and has lots of wealth, however, king n is prideful and thinks he is responsible for his kingdom and all that is good within it. God was going to strip away all the King N had (the tree being cut, etc) and make him have a mind of an animal. he would wander and sit about for a period of time until king N finally realized all he had was fromt he Lord almighty. God is repsonsible for all things, they are His alone. so king N listens to this enterpretation and goes about his life. soon enough, everything falls apart and the dream comes to life just as daniel said it would. idk-this is very rough. it makes sense in my own mind.
basically, what i get out of this is that all i have is from the Lord. He is the giver and taker of all things. i am blessed to experience them for my ownself, but God is sovereign and just. He humbles us when we feel most prideful. just when i feel like i am onto something great, He does one of two things. He lets me continue in my arrogance and learn from the results of my sin OR He strips it all away..showing me that He is everything. bringing me back to the point of realizing my desperate need for a savior. make sense? hope so. okay-well off to my nap. just a brief insight to what the Lord is teaching me. awesome. He is good. fairwell.
