just a short and sweet thought :)

     Here's a little thought:
"God will not send us out on any journey for which He does not equip us well." -Alexander Maclaren 
     That means that everything that we are going through is for a purpose. I know that we can sometimes get burned out or tired of the same thing and wonder why God has us do certain things but it's for a reason; and He is in charge. We are simply a vessel that He chooses to work through. So, if you are wondering why you're going through something remember that it's just a season and He's got everything under control. And plus everything passes through His hands before it comes to us so if that isn't comforting I don't know what isn't! He's got everything under control, always.

     Choose joy! -EmilyAnn

This too shall pass... and hopefully SOON!

     I got the brilliant idea to take a summer class. Yea why not? It would be DE no matter when I took and I thought it would be a good idea to take it now. Wow, I sure have some stupid moments. The absolutely last thing I want to do right now is Microeconomics homework. It's summer! That means I should be a lazy college student reading a stack of books that I haven't been able to get to because of homework. But I have to get it done. So onto the point of the post.. well besides avoiding homework for a while :)
     You might have something this summer that you aren't enjoying or that you are upset about. It could be boredom or something a little more dramatic and *gasp* is it a summer job because you don't work during the year!? Lol, I don't know what it is or why it is horrible to you but here's a hint of encouragement.. it will pass. Soon it will be over and you'll look back and laugh at yourself for being so silly and dreading it like the plague. Granted soon may translate into a year or a month depending on your situation but it will be over and you will eventually go back to living a normal and fun life, well hopefully.
     So use your time wisely and make time for fun things to help you get through the annoying parts. I recommend reading but that is my favorite thing to do. Get lost in a book and take a journey so another place and enjoy the break from whatever is frustrating. Well have a great day I need to go take a test then do more homework and then reading :)
                      Ciao, EmilyAnn
