Rejoice

I will be getting a special scholarship! Glory to God, rejoice like Philippians! "The money comes from the Presser Foundation, on the recommendation of the Student Services Staff..." I asked who decided this.

"And Student Services is the Al Bradley and I here in 1642 SMB (counseling office)."

Mr. Bradley is my wonderful school counselor! I stop by every once in a while to say hello and inquire on his life. I thought it's unfortunate that students only come to him with problems, and since I value what he does I try to show some appreciation. Well the Lord is good, and directed his heart to remember me and help me out!

This frees me and my brain to think about God stuff more and I can have more time to serve too! Thank you for grace. Ultimately, this is another one of those situations that makes God look good- it is just another expression of his grace.

SOME DAY!!!!!!!!

On a totally unrelated note:
so much prayer to do. The Bible says pray without ceasing. I suppose you really can never pray enough.

Girls?

I really want to set some of my old posts on private, but I'm not sure if blogger has that option. Anyways, what I would like to write as a disclaimer is that most of what I wrote before was in extreme ignorance of the female gender. It's kind of funny to read what I wrote. I was dumb. I'm trying to learn though.

I read this girl book and it was really helpful. If you are interested I will lend it to you. it's a Christian book about sanctification and I think it is helpful for men as well. A few points I have observed about women-these are general observations:

-woman are concerned with what others think of them to quite some degree.
-they desire appreciation, affection, and acknowledgment from their husbands
-criticism can be very biting and hurtful.
-they want to appear nice and presentable.
-Often they don't need advice or "counsel" during very a difficult crisis, but rather comfort.

and I guess most importantly - Woman are normal human beings, just like men. I think young men forget sometimes that the women we know are ordinary people with real feelings, real needs, and who act like a real person should. Now I wonder, do girls have distorted perceptions on who men are?
