Sun and Shadow



This is what I am...

Discouraged.

Dejected.

Disheartened.

When thinking of finances during this day and age, it becomes very hard to feel optimistic about things like continuing education, career prospects, family stability, and the never-ending pursuit of "happyness" (You inspire me, Mr. Smith).

Aggravated.

Angered.

Anxious.

Honestly, the future just scares the heck out of me. These aren't exactly simple times we're currently live in. Constant conflict, natural disasters, increasing food, gas, and general cost-of-living expenses have done much to contribute to the before-mentioned emotions, but ultimately, a sometimes blatant distrust of the All-Powerful Creator is at the root of this ignorant, habitually worrisome Christian's heart .

But the shadow proves the sunshine....

Hope first came covered in humanity....

He returns commanding Heaven....

Reassuring, isn't it?

And Thus it begins....


"Qui tacet consentit."


"How wonderfully cliche," you say to yourself as you sit there, rolling your eyes, disgustingly curious as to the meaning of this archaic verse. "Latin...in a blog. So very original."

But it worked.

I have you.

I win.

Because you kept reading.

Don't worry. You'll get over it. Heck, you may even forgo your daily routine of visiting your normal 5 or 6 utterly dreary sites, those ones that have continued to needlessly consume your....."precious"..... time due to a desire for distraction, to take a moment and learn something *gasp* useful for a change. Something worth knowing strictly because it took a little effort on your part.

Take 30 seconds out of your day and translate this mysterious sentence. Come on, you know you want to.

It's ok. You just have to keep breathing.

That's right. In and out. In and out.................

Whew, This could be difficult to negotiate. I guess it's good I'm just getting warmed up.
