School and Life

Today was a serious adventure. I found myself praying several times. lol I was very stressed out with school and I had so many people breathing down my neck. One student in my nutrition class had the nerve to ask me if I was going to change my mind and not go to Africa. At first, I was blown away by the question. But then, as I thought about it.....she wasn't a christian, she doesn't agree with people going oversees for long durations and shes not a fan of me and what I believe. So, all in all, just a way Satan tried to get me down.

I've made decent grades in school so far but my heart just isn't in it. I want to be in Africa so bad.

Even as I'm writing this, I find myself thinking of things I could have said to get back at that woman. But for what reason? If I really would have spoken my mind, my testimony would have been damaged. As I think back, there were no words. Keeping my opinions to myself and simply replying, "Of course", was all I needed to say.

So, lesson of the day. Even when you want to, even when you feel there's no way to keep it in. Sometimes......no, most of the time, the best thing to do,as a woman,is keep your mouth shut. Let God be God. Let Him handle things you can't. Because when its all said and done. If you do open your mouth, chances are, the only person thats going to look bad, is YOU.

Just some thoughts, do with them what you want. :)

Have a great week!
