Last night was our Valentines Soiree, and it was a blast! The guys from church put on a fantastic evening of dinner, entertainment, and dancing. I was finally able to impress everyone with my lack of skills.
A lot has been on my mind lately. Money. Life. Career. My future. Things I've given up to God and yet have been impressed on my mind lately. I know I need to just let go, but I'm having a difficult time doing so. One of my toughest opponents this semester is definitely this New Testament class. Especially going back and reading it in Greek. All the translation errors that have been made and the interpretations we have taken from it have really hindered from its infallibility in my mind. I have so many questions and have just been praying about it because I am not sure who to go to with these questions. It's definitely been a struggle. It really has hindered my devotions; I have to read so much for my class and am left depressed each time that I have a hard time really opening it up aside from that. I have to keep reminding myself that this stuff is minor and does not contradict the salvation message, but it still irks me. It also has reignited my desire to staff at Summit Ministries this summer. I had such a great time there; I was absolutely enthralled with such a scholastic learning environment that deals with the struggles a critical thinker goes through in college.
Still don't have anyone to take over my spot in the other apartment. I can't afford to invest much time or stress into this, but going through my finances I realized I only have a couple more months of rent left in my bank account... I also think I'm going to have to put off graduation to the December 2012 instead of May 2012. I'm not stressed, but I have had a few moments of feeling discouraged. I also met with my advisor today, and he was giving me options, and I think I slipped in one too many "How much?", "Oh... yeah I can't afford that.", "And what would that cost?", "If I had the money I would..." comments to where he was finally like "DONICA. I see what you're doing here. And no, I will NOT give you any money." Haha.
I feel bad for you readers. Yes, I go to God first, but then I go to my blog with my problems. This is my problem blog. It's an outlet to organize my thoughts, so I commend those of you who actually finish a blog update in a single sitting. I truly do try to minimize my problems on here, but since I hate to burden individuals with my thoughts, I type them. Otherwise I explode. I become the hulk. And then my clothes rip because I burst into a huge, green being. So I eliminate the possibility of that through "Being Awesome 101".
Here are some pics of the soiree! Toodles.

P.S., I do like reading people's comments to my posts!

Hey cutie,
About the greek translation problem. I would take things with a grain of salt from profs who don't believe in Christianity. I would encourage you to seek out Godly scholars who are not biased against the faith. Those who translated our scriptures were and are scholarly. Don't let minor interpretation differences put a barrier between you and God. I'm praying that God will give you his eyes of discernment.
Love Dad
