Straying from the Only Safe Place.

Reading has nearly stopped, until I'm not busy, or I'm at a Starbucks. I only have one day of school left, then I'm out. Hopefully I will finish it during all of my downtime, amongst my 8 months of geometry and 1.5 years of Italian I need to do :/

I did pick it up on Wednesday though, after the week prior being somewhat miserable. It had its ups, but I seemed to be able to only focus on the downs. I had been fighting with a close friend, and scared to death about my upcoming surgery, just a whole lot of things not adding up too well.

Anyhow, I made the decision on Wednesday that prayer needed to happen. I wasn't going to get over my issues on my own, and I was tired of being miserable... even though it was only a week. I don't usually pray in the mornings, not too sure why I don't.. probably because it is when I do everything I didn't do the night before. But, my parents had been sleeping later, and I could eat my oatmeal and pray in complete silence. It was absolutely perfect! My day was still a bit wavy, but God set every situation up where I was given the clear opportunity to make it great.
It probably is an obvious to a lot of people, but to me, sadly, I don't just think "sucky time will be fixed by prayer!" I decided... Thursday needed to begin the same way. Nope, my problems aren't demolished. But my soul is slightly less worried, and I'm not sure.. It helps :)
Wednesday, during my reading, 2 men and a woman stopped and commented on the book! I love it when you find Christians around you. It's so reassuring.
Anyways though.. When the time shows itself, the book will get read!
