it is odd to me how little things can determine my mood. I am frustrated by this phenomenon. why do we have to have moods? Is this where our character is displayed? If this be the case then I must admit that I am lacking. I was disappointed by what I was told about someone today and as a result all day it has been eating at me all day. I have noticed that this is the way with me. I wish I could be more like a duck and these things would be as water off my back. I suppose that if this were the case all the time, that I would be an emotionless robot.



perhaps, my emotions are a display of the despair that I have been feeling lately. in my difficult times I remember Isaiah. "even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall, but those who wait on the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles, they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." Perhaps this is a popular passage but I feel encouraged every time I read or remember this because all too often I pursue my own selfish goals and wind up burnt out and tired.
