for the last few weeks now, i've been having trouble staying focused on classes and on my homework. its been making things really stressful... i've had no motivation to do work, so it gets put off till the last minute, and life basically sucks. i've been praying about it, but then not really changing any of my habits, which kind of defeats the purpose. so then about 15 minutes ago, i open up my bible for the first time in way too long to the place i was last reading, which happened to be proverbs chapter 2. here are the first six verses, without their numbers:
My son, if you accept my words and store up my commands within you, turning your ear to wisdom and your heart to understanding, and if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding, and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure, then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God. For the LORD gives wisdom, and from his mouth come knowledge and understanding. (NIV)
looks like i finally got the answer that God has been trying to send me for who knows how long now. to put it in more modern (and possibly more geeky) terms, you need to turn on the computer before you can read your email. g'night all.
