not a fan of finals week

so, today was not a great day. and i can't deny that i am very frustrated, with myself and with certain circumstances.

it is really tempting, not to mention easy, to indulge in that frustration. dwell in it. let it simmer a little bit until it turns into bitterness, because instead of changing the situation i'm just frustrated with it. yeah...that would be really easy. it's also very tempting to use this moment to vent. i could discuss my various frustrations...but...well, somehow that just doesn't sound very productive or beneficial.

i don't want to dwell, and i don't want to let it simmer. i mean, well, i guess i kind of do. but i know that the outcome of that is way less than desirable. what i want is to choose Christ and forget about myself and my own frustrations. what i want, when i really think about it, is to just not bother with the emotions and stress and all that. i would really rather take the peace of the Lord right now. i would really, really like that.

so...i'm thinking that peace is what i'll pursue.
