I slept at 2.30 last night, was watching 90210. I love it! Anyway I'm going to Joy's one month celebration later, and meeting Nic for dinner to pass him his b'day present. Haha. I was reading the papers just now, was pretty disgusted at McCain and Sarah Palin's campaign, at their racial attack on Obama, about how they're encouraging their supporters to call him an Arab and Muslim. Thats just wrong. And he never retaliated, that just shows how they're stooping so low, its really a low blow.
I'm still trying to ingrain the stuff I learned through the Project Timothy seminar I went to on Tuesday and Wednesday night on the book of Job. It was really good, esp since hardly anyone preaches on the book of Job. One major thing I learned was that its okay to lament, and lamenting isn't the same as grumbling. Lamenting is like weeping yet having a desire to understand why all this is happening. And it so happens my QT book is talking about lamenting for the past few days. It says "Lament is as different from grumbling as a search is from aimless wandering. A grumbler has already reached a conclusion about life, has shut down all open-mindedness with questions that are barely concealed accusations. In contrast, a person uttering a lament is expressing a desire to understand what is happening. That person is knocking at the door of God's heart. Lament is a cry of agony." and "Lament has the potential to change our attitudes because it compels us to strip our hearts of all pretence and forces us to wrestle with God. And out of that wrestling will come a new awareness of God and a new sense of His presence. Lament has been described as making the most of our losses and disappointments without getting bogged down in them."
