hungry for truth

work week finally over...it was a long long week...
today, the fellowship program was 24 hr famine, organized by a group including me...i'm very relieved, by the help of others contributing their time, it was supposed to be solely me organizing it...but i really lacked the experience and time. yesterday was a meeting at pastor's house about the book some of us were reading, the discipline of grace, a really good book, it explains much about the concerns of a Christian, and the words are so true. as usual now...i haven't been getting much sleep, 7 hours max each day...i'm glad i still had energy to work and participate in the famine to raise money for kids in china who want to go to school. we learned at the meeting yesterday about the book, not to be proud, when you accomplish something great, and not to always feel guilty about not being good enough, or feeling unworthy. many times, i feel both, this book is a really great reminder for me. tonite i also realized and was reminded again how lucky we are to live in canada, the food we have the homes we live in. it's great to be a canadian and to have food in our stomach. thank God. what is a good day what is a bad day? we also talked about that in the meeting yesterday. good day bad day? the most important quote from the book is "your worst days are never so bad that you are beyond the reach of God's grace, and your best days are never so good that you are beyond the need of God's grace."

i notice that my thoughts just jump around so often...haha....the good thing i'm allowed, cuz this isn't an essay or something that needs to be handed in....these are my thoughts...

Linus: what's the matter?
Lucy: my life is a drag...i'm completely fed up...i've never felt so low in my life...
Linus: when you're in a mood like this you should try to think of things that you have to be thankful for...in other words, count your blessings...
Lucy: ha! that's a good one! i could count my blessings on one finger! i've never had anything, and i never will have anything! I don't get half the breaks that other people do...nothing ever goes right for me! and you talk about counting blessings! you talk about being thankful! what do i have to be thankful for?
Linus: well, for one thing, you have a brother who loves you...
Lucy: waahhhh....(sobbing)
Linus: every now and then, i say the right thing...
