  • I think my life is about to make a major change. Joe, my little
    brother, and I were talking last night as I brought him home from work.
    After I told him that I feel my life is largely controlled by forces
    outside of my control, he told me to grab life by the horns. I told
    him, "Joe, holding onto the horns is still just going for a ride!"

    It's so true in my life, though. The 1% that I can influence is
    sometimes like the rudder of a large ship - amazingly influential.
    Other times, I feel the 1% I have control over is a little box in the
    cargo hold or worse yet, the toilet paper in the hold! Well, if God's
    at the helm, I'm at ease. The hardest part is keeping Him there.


    If I wasn't rewarded for doing things last minute, I probably would be
    more responsible. But no. I turn in a paper late, and my professor is
    glowing about how well written it is. What the?!?! Are you supposed to
    be scolding me so I don't do this again?

    *sigh* I need to get some things sent in so I can register for next semester! I'm on track for an MBA in 2 years total.

    My new favorite smiley.

  • I can tell you like this new emoticon...a lot.

  • Hate to break it to you babe, but you actually have no control over your life :) It's allllllll God....

  • I think that just made my day for the next week. If I start having a not so good day, I'm gonna look at your blog and see all those little smilies, and it's just going to get better.

  • Of course I have control over my life in terms of my own actions. Free will and all... I don't have control over other people in my life or other events, etc. If it was all God, God would probably never suffer, but at the same time, the world would never have an opportunity to opt to follow.

  • I refuse to debate theology/free will with you in xanga commentary ;)

  • and now that i know just what you were lamenting that you have no control over....i AM sorry I know it was hard. those were some weird/rough/difficult times. i know i didn't make it easier. i'm sorry. i'm glad you're still around

    happy monday!!
