noticing stress
Ah, such a week it has been. With so many things randomly occurring in my life, I’ve been, as America puts it, the ‘victim’ of undue stress. So first let me comment about an email I received.
Rianna emailed me regarding my last blog telling me some further information regarding my general approval of abortions since it was ‘legalized’ in the Roe case. So, I will take back that analogy I made to homosexual rights and abortion. I’m not sure if I will even try to replace that portion of my blog for something much more coherent and cohesive, productively stating my opinion regarding these issues without letting any fallacies shine through. But, as usual, I covet her ability to state things so perfectly as she can. If she doesn’t become some sort of lawyer then I’ll be forced to move to Switzerland even though they are no longer neutral (stupid U.N. application for admittance!).
After that, as my title suggests I’m undergoing somewhat of a stressful time right now. Of course, I mentioned in a blog sometime earlier that I have left my former church. This is the most stressful part of everything in my life right now. I hate to say goodbye to friends I’ve had for years, but I feel staying would have caused me even more unnecessary speedbumps in my life. So, what I’m going through now is probably just the tip of the iceberg that could have been uncovered if I kept around for longer. Other things that cause me stress at the moment are scholarship applications. Mainly because I haven’t filled anything out recently. My natural tendency to procrastinate and put things off until I’m forced to do it has caught up with me and I’m left in my own shadow of overdue deadlines and free cash down the toilet (but I doubt I would get almost anything anyways since I’m definitely not a minority).
So stress may be in my life right now, but I can’t say that it truly holding me down from living. I’ve found much solace and comfort in the consistent love and faithfulness of God, not to mention the support and encouragement from friends. With that said, I’m trying to focus on these four things in my life to keep me bettering who I am and what I will become - Joy; Diligence; Humility; Honesty. Sounds more like the Achilles heel of America than a way to brighten up my life
