Have I mentioned that I like movies a lot? I'm sure I have.
I am also a nerd, but I'm sure you've figured that out by now. I really like all the MARVEL movies they are doing and Thor has always been one of my favorites.
I was watching the Thor 2 (The Dark World) trailer and towards the end the voiceover says, "What will you sacrifice for what you believe?" Wow.
Wow.
Wow.
The answer should be anything...everything. The answer IS anything and everything.
I just was definitely not expecting to hear that at the end of a movie trailer.
Sweet dreams all. It's about that time that I got to sleep.

Marriage
Marriage has been brought up a lot in conversation lately. I'm not sure why....because I am not any where near getting married. I don't even think I'm anywhere prepared to being married. Which is fine. I am very happy at where the Lord has me right now. I enjoy being single. I am so busy and don't really have time for a relationship. I hardly have time for the friends I do have.
Speaking of not having time for things, I seem to always fit in some time to watch TV/movies.
Watching FRIENDS gives me a time that I can just not think and laugh a lot. A few months ago I started at the beginning of the series (again) and I am currently in season 8. In the episode "The One with the Secret Closet" Chandler discovers that the door to the room by the balcony in he and Monica's apartment is locked. He obsesses the entire episode on getting the closet unlocked. And when he did... http://youtu.be/apvf4UihPd8
The fact that Chandler is willing to help Monica deal with her junk is incredibly sweet. For 27 years I have been trying to deal with my own junk and I can never seem to grasp that the Lord is there to help me with that. When I eventually get married, it will also be something that my husband is there for...and I for him. Honestly, that KINDA terrifies me. Because I have gotten REALLY good at hiding my junk from other people. This is also, I realize, not healthy at ALL. That's something the Lord has been working with me lately. More on that to come later.
Looking a little more at the whole marriage bit, here are a few awesome articles that I have read lately. The first is one a friend tagged me in on Facebook about how it matters who you marry, which I've always believed, directed towards Christian gals: http://thechristianpundit.org/2012/08/15/it/
The second is an article, written by the husband of the woman who wrote the other one, directed towards guys: http://thechristianpundit.org/2012/09/12/guys-it-matters-whom-you-marry-too/
Both are equally awesome, true, and definitely worth a read.
Until next time people...

Anxious
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4: 6-7
As many times as I've read and memorized and been reminded of this particular passage, you would have thought that I have actually learned it by now. If it were only that easy...oh, the disadvantages of being a human.
I'm particularly anxious about grad school tonight. I haven't blogged in a while, have I? I started graduate school this past August and it's a year-long program. It's crazy...and that's saying it nicely. I've already finished 3 classes and am in the midst of taking 4. At the same time, I might add. The advantage of being in a year-long program is that I'll be finished at the end of this July. The disadvantage is that I'm stressed out most of the time. It's a great program and I'm learning a lot, but I still have not learned how to not procrastinate. I think I've learned sometimes, but it never actually sinks in. I'm not sure if I'm just too stubborn, or if it's simply the human thing again.
But back to my anxiety...
Right now, I think, my struggle is with my worth. Having to write papers constantly has made me more critical of myself. That sounds like a good thing, but I'm not sure if it is. I had a paper due tonight and while I was doing a final read-over, I began to question everything I had been writing over the past few days. I just kept thinking to myself, "this is horrible" "this is NOT what she's going to want" "I'm going to make an awful grade and be super embarrassed because I'm stupid". It got so bad that I finally just had to submit it.
"No mortal comprehends its worth; it cannot be found in the land of the living" Job 28:13
"Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don't be afraid; you are worth more than sparrows." Luke 12:7
Why am I constantly consumed with how the world views my worth over how my SAVIOR views my worth?
So the conclusion I came to while I was driving home?
I suck.
I completely suck.
I fall so short.
CONSTANTLY. Every minute of every hour of every day.
"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you." Matthew 7:7
I don't even think this really makes sense how I wrote it. But the Lord knows my heart. He knows me better than I know myself. I just needed to write something that I wasn't going to overthink and overanalyze.
Lord, I'm asking for your help. I ask you to forgive me for telling you I didn't need your help and that I think I can do things on my own. Without you, I don't know how I could function.
