Sweeney Todd!! And blessing.

Yay for Sweeney Todd coming out on DVD yesterday!!! Such a good movie. Gotta love the musicals!! My roomie bought it tonight and I thought we'd come home and watch it, but she had a bunch of stuff to get done, so hopefully we can watch it tomorrow evening (I might watch it tomorrow on my own- hee hee- and then watch it again if she's able to watch it in the evening)

I was so proud of myself for really buckling down yesterday and getting my child development 8 page paper written (and thus completing the course!! WHOO!!!) and my three chapters of Ethics with page responses for each done, and reading/reporting in 3 pages on a 148 page book!! Sure, I started working on these things at 10am and didn't finish until midnight last night, (with only an hour and a half break for class) but the Lord blessed my diligence and I was able to get everything done! Hallelujah!! I was overflowing with praise today for the blessing it was to have gotten everything done yesterday. I really needed that extra boost that divinely came to me and helped me to accomplish even more than I was expecting to get done. I realized that I've sorta been complaining a lot lately about how much I'm over school and the terrible suffering I'm having to go through, but honestly, I need to have a reality check sometimes. I am going to an amazing school at which I learn something new about God's world from everyday. Soon, I won't have an educational place to go to that helps me to see God's plans and purposes with the world, I will be feeding myself from God's Word. I'm so glad that we are taught how to do that too, for I know that a lot of people graduate from a Bible college and don't know how to feed themselves daily from the most important food source the world has. I know that hindsight is so much clearer than when a person is looking at something head on and seeing the challenges that lay ahead, but it really is true that suffering produces endurance, and endurance; character and character; hope. And hope does not put us to shame because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us. (Romans 5:4) It's hard to see this while in the middle of suffering, but praise God that He doesn't just let us suffer for suffering's sake, He has a plan much bigger than we could ever imagine. :) Praise be to God!!!
