i've been places, and i've done things. some i'm proud of, some i wish could be undone. but all things work together for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His will (Romans 8:28) and i know He's takin' me places.
SO ANYWAY. hello, the rest of the world who are not on my nerves (: i'm still a generally happy noodle of some sort, ignoring the fact that i'm totally unprepared for my prelims which are in uh, 4 days (today not withstanding).
and now i shall set about psychoing myself into believing God's unfathomable theorem of delayed gratification.
delayed gratification. when kids are presented with one sweet and are told to leave it for 15 minutes in exchange for more sweets and cotton candy to boot. some kids take it, some kids leave it. those who leave it get more, and those who leave it generally grow up to be more successful than those who didn't.
delayed gratification. when esau gave up his birthright for a bowl of stew. he told jacob that he was starving, yet he owned the whole of isaac's land.
delayed gratification. when you eat instant mashed potatoes when the authentic mashed potatoes taste much better, such as the ones at Sizzler's. and that happens when you eat instant mashed potatoes to satisfy a momentary pang of hunger and also because it's alot cheaper than the mashed potatoes at the $16 salad bar at Sizzler's.
delayed gratification requires patience, perseverance, persistence, diligence, and it cannot be taken lightly. it would pay off, but the long and serpentine journey is, well, long and serpentine. it would be a rigmarole, but it's totally worth it at the end, right? yup. it is.
so, in conclusion, delayed gratification is God-sent, so grace just deal with it ok?
oh look, its a posse of obnoxious things marauding the society, in search of something more. something more they may not even find. haha. losers. die already.
