I wish I knew what was going on. Every time I turn around I feel faced with something new to deal with. I've been going from really high to really low over and over. Break was good. The week after was rough. Home was great. Then I got rejected from the internship program. Got over that, and then my bike was stolen.
I had an awesome weekend. I got to drive to Philly with Nate VP and Matt Case. We hung out in the art museum. We took Matt to interview with CSM and I got to see the house and talk with Krista. We got to hang out with Jordan. We went to South Street and ate Jim's cheesesteaks. We discussed a ton of really awesome things, including pacifism (which has been on my mind, more on that later, hopefully).
Then I got to come back to PSU and see Barack Obama speak. Regardless of how you feel politically, it was awesome to see 20,000+ people on the lawn excited to see him. And it was pretty excellent all around.
So of course,the last 16 hours or so have been about ironing out some lameness with friends about a summer trip. Just lame issues and frustration in general.
All this stuff certainly hasn't put me in a great mood. I don't feel like my mood has been terrible (although you can ask my roommates, they might say differently). I've been striving to rejoice through all of it, good and bad. I've been trying to focus on where I am and what I'm doing and not where I might be and what I might be doing.
Alas, transitions always seem to wreck me. Thanks to a friend for the Oswald Chambers quote:
"Faith never knows where it is being led, but it loves and knows the One who is leading...The life of faith is not a life of mounting up with wings, but a life of walking and not fainting."

I like that OC quote a lot. I can definitely relate to it. Sometimes I just don't have it in me to fight against the odds and I feel like all I am doing is walking and trying not to pass out. I guess that's where we depend on God the most and probably where he wants us.
Good times at the museum and CSM by the way :) Thanks again
I think it's times like that when God uses us and teaches us the most. I have no doubt that you'll be stronger because of these challenges. But if you need a hug, you know where to find me!
