Ella Fitzgerald is a remarkable singer with beautiful lyrics. In fact, the songs of time long ago had much deeper and meaningful lyrics put together in an elegant manner. What's wrong with the world? It's continuously deviating from the classyness it once held and the path that leads to Christ, and finding temporary fulfillment in shallow temporary things. "They have neither knowledge nor understanding, they walk about in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken." -Psalm 82:5 All the foundations of the earth are certainly shaken. So surely it makes no sense to seek ultimate joy in this lifetime and find value and self-worth in materialistic and tangible things like the economy, relationships, fame, and worldy happiness.
I'm not happy at UIC. am i the only college kid who feels like this was a mistake? but even though i make countless mistakes, i know that God doesn't. i trust that He's got me here for a reason for His purposes. For however long I'm here, whether a semester, 2-3 years, whatever, i pray that i'll be obedient in making the most of my time here. to be stripped of this arrogant pride so that i may grow and be teachable and be a blessing and light to others on campus, especially those who have neither knowledge nor understanding of Christ or the Gospel. I pray these won't be empty words.
I may have missed my first sg meeting of servants, but i won't let that discourage me. with the circumstances placed in front of me, God, please help me to give You the glory, without selfish motives or intentions. let me be Yours and live the life You gave me for You.
