mondays. bah!

snow.

today i was planning on going back to my apartment in grand rapids.
to where a piece of my home is.
but no.

the stupid snow came. it was supposed to be done by the time i was going to leave... but my parents said no.

gah.
mondays seem to suck whether they are during school or not.
i want to leave here.

the other day when i was really frustrated when i was shopping with my mom i was listening to her ipod that i put music on a while ago. i put some of the Bible Experience on it. i wasnt really in the mood to listen to the Bible... i wanted to be angry at her. so i was skipping over all of the Bible things that were coming on random. but then i heard the beginning of one and i stopped to listen.

the words were familiar.
i had heard this one many times before.
this was one of the very first passages of scripture that "spoke" to me.
spoke to my heart.
spoke to my life.

and once again in my time of need it spoke to me again.

Psalm 25
Of David.
1[a] To you, O LORD, I lift up my soul;
2 in you I trust, O my God.
Do not let me be put to shame,
nor let my enemies triumph over me.

3 No one whose hope is in you
will ever be put to shame,
but they will be put to shame
who are treacherous without excuse.

4 Show me your ways, O LORD,
teach me your paths;

5 guide me in your truth and teach me,
for you are God my Savior,
and my hope is in you all day long.

6 Remember, O LORD, your great mercy and love,
for they are from of old.

7 Remember not the sins of my youth
and my rebellious ways;
according to your love remember me,
for you are good, O LORD.

8 Good and upright is the LORD;
therefore he instructs sinners in his ways.

9 He guides the humble in what is right
and teaches them his way.

10 All the ways of the LORD are loving and faithful
for those who keep the demands of his covenant.

11 For the sake of your name, O LORD,
forgive my iniquity, though it is great.

12 Who, then, is the man that fears the LORD ?
He will instruct him in the way chosen for him.

13 He will spend his days in prosperity,
and his descendants will inherit the land.

14 The LORD confides in those who fear him;
he makes his covenant known to them.

15 My eyes are ever on the LORD,
for only he will release my feet from the snare.

16 Turn to me and be gracious to me,
for I am lonely and afflicted.

17 The troubles of my heart have multiplied;
free me from my anguish.

18 Look upon my affliction and my distress
and take away all my sins.

19 See how my enemies have increased
and how fiercely they hate me!

20 Guard my life and rescue me;
let me not be put to shame,
for I take refuge in you.

21 May integrity and uprightness protect me,
because my hope is in you.

22 Redeem Israel, O God,
from all their troubles!
