I'm way too cool for..........Amber

SCHOOL! ARGH! It's what drives me...Drives me CRAZY; drives me towards so called "success"; drives me closer to God (that whole "RESCUE ME GOD" syndrome); drives me towards discipline.

So many people I know right now are struggling with the burden of formal-class-room set-learning...Me, Ev, Jess, Robyn, Andrea....the other 60 people in my class. I think the hardest part about school is that it's self-induced. I mean we choose to register each year. I choose to pay the tuition. I choose to get up in the morning to go to class. I choose to obey God and enter into His discipline. Why? I could walk away.... I mean Jonah did. There are other things I could do.... and I could probably do a better job at it too.

So why do I stay? Because I have decided to trust my life in the hands of the God who made me. I have faith that He knows what is best for me and that He would never ask me to participate in something that would harm me (even if it hurts me). And His peace is soooooo good!

John 14:26-27:

But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
