Random things from today . . .

I'm not good with conflict, and I'm definitely not good at telling someone they're wrong, even though this needs to happen. Some things just go too far.

I'm not feeling filled up spiritually. Maybe it's because I've been missing church lately, or because I haven't been reading my Bible. (Hmmm, ya think?) Believe it or not, I actually do get something out of each of those, as much as I feel like a stereotype saying that. ;)

I have a friend who wrote recently that he has felt compelled to tell people he's been reading his Bible, praying, etc. when he hasn't been. I feel the need to do these things (really, it not only keeps me focused on something bigger than myself, but just affects me for the better in general, I think), but I don't make time.

I used to get up early in the morning, which basically gave me time to do devos before class and a lot of time to waste, too. This morning, I decided to "get up early" at 7:30 to shower and get ready for work at 9 am, but I reset my alarm for 8:20. That obviously made me rush, and I was 5 minutes late to work. This shutting off the alarm and/or resetting it thing has got to stop. I can't let myself go academically before I've even reached the middle of the semester, and it's also stealing my one time in the day when I can get refilled spiritually. Grrr. I need coffee, because I am grumpy today, and all of my frustrations are aimed at myself.

. . . So apparently Maya did the same thing this morning. Gosh we're sweet.
