| guh, currently there is too much estrogen in this house. sure i lived in a house full of estrogen all school year but it's different back at home. we all have somewhat of the same temperament. put us together in an enclosed space and things get ugly. at this point i'm kind of glad to be leaving for my exchange. sure i love my family and all that.. but yah ive tasted freedom, and it's nice lol
on top of that, my allergies are so annoying, even after i take some meds. :( an itchy nose just makes me that much more cranky
ok time to head out to get some things for the trip.

| so i have some worship music blasting in the bg as im packing for my french exchange program and i was singing out just enjoying the songs/using my voice to praise Him... and it hit me. i won't be able to sing out like this for about a month. ahh i had that sinky feeling inside of me as i realized this.. a 'makes me want to cry' kinda feeling.
so the rules at this school are absolutely no english. so i guess singing english worship songs are out of the question. thinking about it, i could probably find some french alternative worship songs online.. (if they have internet...!?!?!) but yah i wont be able to sing the ones im familiar with in english  ok.. so it's not THAT bad cuz i could still sing in french.. but in a way my worship feels restricted/limited. i know this is nothingggg close to what ppl experience when they're persecuted for practicing their faith in other countries.. but this situation kinda makes me feel a bit of what they may feel.
the freedom to worship freely... to sing out the things that are in ur heart without worry or fear of punishment - what a blessing it is to do that.
..just a thought.

| i have so much more growing to do.
a certain somebody drew something to my attention about something i might want to take a look at... i can't say it gets any easier hearing flaws about yourself but something was different this time. of course, guards went up when i heard what that person had said but i thank God for understanding (for the Lord gives wisdom and from his mouth come knowledge and understanding - Proverbs 2:6) instead of just closing my ears and shrugging off what was said, i know it was said for a reason and i should not just let this slip by. (i think it's important to mention though that this person is a good friend...so i trust what they said was out of good intention)
i see this as an opportunity for growth. a opportunity to see how God could bless me if i just set aside my pride and humble myself to be the one who needs to learn something. and here's the thing, learning it is to my benefit, if anything i probably have the most to gain from it. so the question is.... who are we always fighting against when we're unwilling to change ourselves?
the God i know just wants to bless us and i don't want to miss out. let's do this... lol

O sov'reign God, O matchless King-
The saints adore, the angels sing
And fall before the throne on grace:
To You belongs the highest praise.
These sufferings, this passing tide
Under Your wings I will abide,
And every enemy shall flee;
You are my hope and victory.
Praise the Father, Praise the Son.
Praise the Spirit, Three in One.
Clothed in power and in grace:
The Name above all other names.
To the valley, for my soul;
Thy great descent has made me whole!
Your word my heart has welcomed home;
Now peace like water ever flows.
Praise the Father, Praise the Son.
Praise the Spirit, Three in One.
Clothed in power and in grace:
The Name above all other names.
Praise the Father, Praise the Son.
Praise the Spirit, Three in One.
Clothed in power and in grace:
The Name above all other names.
Yours is the kingdom,
Yours is the power.
Yours is the glory forever.
Yours is the kingdom,
Yours is the power.
Yours is the glory forever.
Praise the Father, Praise the Son.
Praise the Spirit, Three in One.
Clothed in power and in grace:
The Name above all other names.
The Name above all other names.
