I went to a campus praise and worship gathering a little while ago, and it was exactly what I needed. A wonderful time of silence and prayer preceded a great talk given by one of the RAs on my staff. My perspective has been way off over the last while, and it was jolted back into place tonight.
I don't have one specific thought about tonight, because my friend hit a lot of nails directly on the head. I just need some time to digest what he said, and to be alone with God.
A big thing is that I simply need to believe in God. My perfectionist tendencies continually lead me astray, and I find myself thinking that in order to reach that place in my Christian life, I always need to be concentrating on God and doing something for Him. It's funny, but it's when I have this mindset that I get most discouraged, because I realize that I can never do this. Anyways, I've got some thinking to do.
It's also 11 PM, and I have no idea what I'm going to say in class tomorrow. I just gave them a 2nd test last class period (it was a good test, too, if I'm allowed to say that), and we've come to the end of the material in the syllabus. Oh well, I'll come up with something, or I'll let them go early to study for the final.

Mat 11:28-30 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."

Heb 4:9-10 So then, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God, for whoever has entered God's rest has also rested from his works as God did from his.
