Worst School Day to Date

Well, I came home at around 2:30, and guess what? The first time I touch the computer is... 9:05...

Outrageous is the key word here.

I have sat at my kitchen table for a total of 6 hours and 30 minutes... If you don't see something wrong in that sentence, try re-reading it. And no, that's not an optical illusion.

I'm so sick of school right now, it's incredible that I put my book away instead of chucking it at the windows (Which was what I was envisioning while doing the last problems.)

I guess succeeding at school means sacrificing.

A lot.

So I woke up, full of energy for the Lord by the way, and started it off by reading My Daily Bread. Today's story was about how David and his army came back home to see that some tribe came, burnt the entire place down, had it surrounded, and had taken all the women and children captive. Do you know what David and his army did?

They wept. They not only wept, they wept until they could no longer weep. That's a lot of weeping in one day.

The men in the army were so devastated by this, they planned on stoning David to death (In society today, a normal teenager going through devastation would get stoned until death...)

David was overwhelmed, so he put the situation in God's hand... And miraculously, pulled them through impossible odds.

I entered my home understanding why God showed me this message. I had no intention of finishing my homework as fast as I usually did, but this was ridiculous.

I came home, spent time with God by praying and then reading The Purpose Driven Life, where I learned today, that I should be a servant to others instead of always thinking about serving me. I couldn't really connect that to my homework issue, but I did act as a servant to my sister when she asked for a cup!

Well, after spending time with God, I set off to my homework...

I can't accept the fact it took me this long to do my homework. In all honesty, if everyday I had to do this, I would drop out. Just, drop out and be done with it.

Anyways... I'm finally finished... I'm so broken and sad though... I did promise my friend Austin a birthday present (Since, today was his present and I told him I would make him a picture) but that won't be happening today...

You know what the difference I concluded with about David's situation versus mine? In his ending, the people were probably filled with happiness that they've been re-united with their family. For me, I have no hope or happiness, because I know that this is a cycle that will just repeat as long as I'm in school...
