I got back from the Attic (teen club where I chaperone) this morning around 12:45am. I still had a lot of Attic energy left and decided to use my energy to do some apartment-shopping organization and mapquesting. After completing those tasks, my brain was still wide awake. So I did what any college student in a similar situation would do… I read the user guide for a free razor that I got today at the May Daze/Cinqo De Mayo fair. The user guide was quite clever, believe it or not, in becoming less of a boring guidebook and more of an entertainment with every page turn. (I promise I’m not drunk or completely insane.) On the last page of the user guide there was the razor blade’s final advertisement that caught a clever smile from my tiring brain…

“Schick Quattro for women…

change your blade cartridges like you change your major:

every week or so.”

Highly amusing…

okay… bedtime.

‘Night!

Because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, for this reason, to keep me from exalting myself, there was given me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to torment me-to keep me from exalting myself! Concerning this I implored the Lord three times that it might leave me. And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.”

– 2 Corinthians 12:7-9

And I can see that my hands are trembling,
I can see that my legs are weak
I can see that my head is spinning, but I will overcome
And I know that my heart is hurting,
And I know that my soul it aches
And I know that it seems I’m failing,
but I will overcome,

O Lord I’m strong in You, O Lord I am wise in You
O Lord I can see in You, so I will overcome
O Lord I am loved by You, O Lord I am free in you
O Lord I’m complete in You
So I will overcome,
I will overcome,
I will overcome

~ And I will overcome not by my strength but by Your grace and love ~

-Charlie Hall, “I Will Overcome”
