man it's so scary. for the past 4 years i've been complaining about school. about how i'm tired of the tests, group work, papers, etc. and now that it's all coming to an end i really don't seem to mind it anymore. i think though that if i decided to become a professional student i'd regret the decision for the rest of the time i'm there. i just need a job to go to after the 15th b/c then i will be on permanent vacation.
yeah i just realized that it's been a few days since i've actually posted something on here. i've been somewhat busy this week. this coming week will probably be worse. i have a test on wednesday and a group presentation on friday. also i'm going to a friend's bridal shower on friday night and need to get something for that too over in monroe. sometimes it's a drag having to drive all the way over there ;)
Contentment
William Cowper
Fierce passions discompose the mind,
As tempests vex the sea,
But calm, content and peace we find,
When, Lord, we turn to Thee.
In vain by reason and by rule
We try to bend the will;
For none but in the Saviour's school
Can learn the heavenly skill.
Since at His feet my soul has sate,
His gracious words to hear,
Contented with my present state,
I cast on Him my care.
"Art thou a sinner, soul?" He said,
"Then how canst thou complain?
How light thy troubles here, if weigh'd
With everlasting pain!
"If thou of murmuring wouldst be cured,
Compare thy griefs with mine!
Think what my love for thee endured,
And thou wilt not repine.
"'Tis I appoint thy daily lot,
And I do all things well;
Thou soon shalt leave this wretched spot,
And rise with me to dwell.
"In life my grace shall strength supply,
Proportion'd to thy day;
At death thou still shalt find me nigh,
To wipe thy tears away."
Thus I, who once my wretched days
In vain repinings spent,
Taught in my Saviour's school of grace,
Have learn'd to be content.
found a promising job lead in jackson, ms today. it's for an entry-level systems analyst. i wouldn't mind moving to jackson. it seems to be a nice place and of course there are some good churches but....
