What do you dwell on?

Well today was kind of hard for me. I got kind of fed up at one point for some reason, and started questioning and wondering which is never good for me.

But finally i got some answers to questions i was worrying about. Sarah called me from the L.A. term I've been applying to, and gave me a 45 minute phone interview!!! She said she would be calling all the applicants tomorrow to give them a final answer!!! I don't care what she says i just want an answer, i feel like my life has little enough direction as it is to keep wondering whether or not I'm even going to the program, so i am impatiently anticipating her call. I seriously cant wait to have that stress gone. Granted i would love to go and will be disappointed if i cant go but at least i wont have to live in limbo.

On another note i had to interview my mother today... It was for my youth ministry class and she was one of a few parents i interviewed to get a better idea of parents relationship and expectations with and for youth ministry. All the questions went so so and it seemed like she struggled to answer them, but the last question was "What other advice would you give to a young youth minister?" and right off the tip of her tongue came Philippians 4:8, which is very unlike her. My mom has, at least to my knowledge, only memorised a few verses, like faithful in little faithful in much and honor your mother in father stuff, usually only used for disciple or at least guilt trips to do what she wants. No offense to her i don't know if she means it but that's the way i felt growing up. But to hear her quote such a perfectly fitting verse that has given my mind more thot to chew on then much of anything else i have heard as of late. It was good to hear... So in case your too lazy to look it up or don't know it, it is "Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things."

Good solid advice, and enough food for thot for tonight.

God bless.
