This meeting today was good. I felt good and encouraged.
But the girl sitting beside me totally misunderstood Orthodoxy and said it was "dead religion".
I wanted to just *gah* scream! but I know, she might not read it but I'm going to write a blog post (on my other blog "for 'in real life' friends) about icons just to give some more clarity on the subject to her... 'cause I felt hurt and actually kinda panicky. :(
My religion isn't dead. >:( grrr.
I'm actually kinda annoyed already... too many "it's not religion it's a relationship" and unknowingly just bashing the way I go to church really. It hurts.

Dang. :|
Matthew 6:34
Therefore, don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own problems.
Psalm 43:5
Why are you sad, O my soul? And why do you trouble me? Hope in God, for I will give thanks to Him; my God is the salvation of my countenance.
Today I felt like it was “point out how terrible Emily’s communication skills are” day.
I don’t want to go into details… just random class occurrences that I just couldn’t keep up with. Anyways—of course these days make me feel very inadequate, pathetic, hopeless… on a never ending loop of destruction. It’s great to be me, right?
That was minimized to a degree with a little prayer journaling and looking up of verses. I still, however, feel like this issue always comes up and I never really have a solution for it. I prayed for guidance for solutions and opportunities. I just really want some sort of opportunity. I’m most days alone-ish, have 16 school hours, and my problem directly conflicts with opportunities a lot of the time. :( I’m overwhelmed! gahh!
