But now, this is what the Lord says-

he who created you, O Jacob,

he who formed you, O Israel:

Fear not, for I have redeemed you;

I have summoned you by name; you are mine.

Isaiah 43:1

It's Sunday night, almost 11:00, and I have barely started my homework. I'd say it's a combination of a busy weekend and too many other things to think about. And instead of doing my homework I'm writing this post, so maybe throw poor time management into the mix as well.

so much to process--many decisions that rest on more questions that need to be answered.

On a positive note, they're all good and exciting things--like reconsidering my major, plans for this summer, ministries to get involved in--but a lot to process nonetheless.

"A woman is not born a woman.

Nor does she become one when she marries a man,

bears a child and does their dirty linen,

not even when she joins a women's liberation movement.

She becomes a woman when she becomes what God wants her to be."

-Learning to Be a Woman by Kenneth and Floy Smith

Talking about traditional gender roles in a conservative, evangelical college is a frustrating way for me to start my day.

Good grief.
