Ecclesiastes 11:3-6
3 If the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth: and if the tree fall towards the south, or towards the north, in the place where the tree falleth, there it shall be.
4 He that observeth the wind shall not sow; and he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap.
5 As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child: even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all.
6 In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good.
This scripture helped me not to worry about things beyond my control and not stop myself from doing things that put me out there, are risky, or challenging because I'm too afraid of not succeeding. I think the scriptures are my biggest spiritual resource. I have been blessed by having my prayers answered by scripture all the time.
On another note, this past week has been as busy as ever! The Middle East Student Advisory Committee, of which I am the chairman, hosted an open house for the Middle East Center. We had done several weeks of planning. We had food from Cedars of Lebanon, music, games, and lots of information to give students about study abroad and other things going on in the center. It turned out really well!
Friday night was fun, Evelyn G and I took advantage of the time we had away from our boyfriends by renting a chick flick (we saw The Duchess, and LOVED it!), painting our nails, and going out to eat we finished the night off by having a sleepover. FUN huh??I spent Saturday with this guy.... so of course it was excellent.
