I had a very good day today, and I just have to make it known.
I took a French exam. I got my field placement (First grade on Friday). I read some of 14,000 Things to be Happy About. I flat-ironed my hair. I had a toffee cappuccino for 75cents. I read some of Girl Meets God. I studied. I laughed. I wore long, gold earrings.
I also had a very difficult day today.
I am struggling with my Multi-Cultural class. I will admit it. Not academically mind you, but on a very personal, theological level. Today I felt like I was in The Screwtape Letters. And that everyone in the room had their own little demon. And they were all listening to them.
I wanted to stand up and shout.
I wanted to tell them they were putting labels on what was really sin.
I wanted to cry.
I did actually. I went into the bathroom afterwards and cried. I wondered if tears can rebuke the devil or if he just finds strength in a sensitive spirit.
I have to go now. Mandy and I are headed to Safeway for donuts and then home.
I have a lot to think about.
But I'm grateful I understand the importance of reflection and holding my tongue.
