Choir...Ugh.

This weekend was nice. Slow, boring, & uneventful. It involved lots of Bible reading, & many episodes of Psych. Haha. Scott did part 2 of Suffering on sunday, & it was just what I needed to hear. I need to remind myself that even though what I'm going through hurts, it is not bigger than God, & He has His hand over every situation. This has not taken Him by surprise, & all I can do is trust, & be thankful for the revelation He HAS given me.

Today Trefor taught New Testament Church Structure about the importance of sharing the Gospel & reflecting on it daily. He showed us a video of a guy who's an atheist talking about being witnessed to, & he said, "I just have to think...if you believe, with all your heart, that there is a Heaven & Hell...& that people might actually be going to Hell...how much do you have to hate someone NOT to share your belief with them?" This is a guy who doesn't even believe there is a God, & he can appreciate someone sharing their beliefs with him. I never really thought about it, but we SHOULD be reflecting on the Gospel daily. It isn't just something we hear when we get saved & never think of again. It is the KEY to everything! He recommended the book "A Gospel Primer" by Milton Vincent...I may have to look into that.

Afternoon classes were Theory & Ear...they weren't actually so bad. Kal decided instead of having Worship Teams today we were going to just go to Dairy Queen & get ice cream instead. Kimmy & John got into an ice cream fight, which later led to her being doused with water by Sam...craziness ensued. Haha.

SO, to get to the title of this blog...LLCC does a Christmas service every year called Carols by Candlelight, which involves (can you guess?) A CHOIR! All SOW students are required to participate. I am not a singer. I do not like choir. I didn't even like doing it when I had to in middle school at Bethel, I only did it because Shannon did. And if there is one thing I dislike more than choir it is Christmas songs in October. So, needless to say, I am not really looking forward to this at all, & I need to get over it & change my attitude. But I can't do it, I'm going to have to ask God to do it. Because I really am not looking forward to it. But at least all the SOW students are in the same boat, & Heidi & Lisa & a few other people I know are doing it too, so at least the company will be good.

Oy...this is a late-night blog. (<--Who'd have thought I'd refer to 10:30 as "late night"?!) I'm caught up on homework now, so I think I'm ready for bed.
