As a final post for the day, I want to say that God gives me what I need in awfully strange ways sometimes. When I wrote the complaining post, I thought I had a scholarship for the upcoming year to cover 80% of tuition. Now it seems I probably don't. Wow. That certainly puts things into perspective. Don't get me wrong. By hook or by crook, one way or another, I'm coming for my final year. But now I gotta earn it, like everyone else. :) :) I can only assume this is because of my bad attitude and because I asked God to put some interest into my summer. Believe me, now I'm interested!
Other ways he's answered prayer lately have been just as fascinating. I was finding it hard to get back into exercise, so I asked God to give me back my passion for fitness. Last evening I went to play pickup Frisbee and found I was the worst one there. Obviously so. I burned with humiliation for hours afterwards, but it was just what I needed. I have my fitness goal - to beat out that one really fast woman. *shark grin* And I found some perspective. Why was I so humiliated at being worst when it was only my second Frisbee game since I could hardly walk?? I was running!! I'd call that progress, wouldn't you?
Today, after the last post, I asked God to put my emotions back to normal. The very instant the last word left my mouth, I burst out crying for no reason at all. Then I laughed at the weirdness of it in the middle of crying. Then I cried some more. I certainly hope that is not my
normal emotional state! heh
So as of now my bad mood has turned into a good mood. All it took was a little adversity. Fancy that!
