Random

I was reminded through a friend's post about this journaling idea that I used to do in high school. I had the best English teacher for most of my high school career! She was very passionate and loved to write. One of her assignments was to take out our journals and free write for 5 minutes. So the other day when my friend did a 5 minute free write on her blog, I decided that I would also do a free write. So here it goes... 5 minutes of free writing!

Lately, I have been in one of those moods, you know the kind that just stops you from wanting to do anything. The kind of mood that makes you grumble in your heart. Until recently, I have done nothing but grumble in my heart. I have been frustrated with my entire life. I go to school an hour away 5 days a week. This means that I spend on average 10 hours a week on the road. I hate that. I hate that I cannot have a normal college life. Last night I figured out that I spend about $250.00 a month or more on gas. I am spending more money on gas that I am on my car!! So what did I do? I grumbled! I also have taken a slight pay cut because of all of the time I spend at school. I grumbled. I am overwhelmed with my schooling. There is so much to do any not enough time to do it in. I have been in school for 3 days and all I do is grumble. Grumble, grumble, complain. complain, grumble...

Luckily, God has changed my heart. He has soften me. Now I am still frustrated over the amount of driving I do, or gas money that I spend, but I am looking at it differently. I guess I should be content and thankful for the fact that I have a car, money to pay for my gas, and the chance to go to school. I must be thankful. God will take care of me. I know that He will...

Time is up... that was fun. I should just journal randomly like this more often! :-)
