Oh what a break it was!
The weekend has come and gone and now it's Wednesday already. I've been thinking about this coming weekend since Sunday night. :o) Can you tell I'm a senior? Anyway this weekend was deifinitely what I needed. Friday night I got to hang out with a really cool guy, then we hooked up with some of his friends and went out for a while before coming back here to play games.I planned on spending Saturday alone, and I did for the most part. I cleaned my house and then I left Marion for a few hours and went shopping, which was awesome! I spent money I didn't really have, but I rationalized it really well for myself. I came home and ate some dinner and just planned on watching TV and doing nothing! Then my phone rang. So much for my night alone, but I didn't mind at all. So, he and I tried to see the movie playing at the school, but we were a few minutes too late, so we rented a movie and came back to my place to watch it. We hung out until about 2, I think. Sunday I talked on the phone a lot, straightened my room up (it was really bad!), and then went to a movie with my roommate and her mommy.
Overall I couldn't have asked for a better weekend. I really needed it, that's for sure. This week has already proved to be about a hundred times better than last week.
Anyway, enough of the details on my life. Onto more important things. I've recently had a few conversations about what it means to qualify to be a pastor's wife and may I just say that people from the IWU community have an incredibly skewed view. Not everyone, but many. Now, let me just say that I'm not necessarily planning on marrying a pastor, although I wouldn't object to it by any means. I just really feel like people have these expectations on what a pastor's wife should be like. If she shows faults now, it wouldn't be a good idea to stay with her. If she lets a curse word roll off her tongue, you better think things through. If she doesn't act like she's perfect, better make sure you teach her to. This is all based on observations. I just think that for a place that stresses Christ's love, IWU doesn't do a good job at teaching forgiveness. I don't like that (some) people write others off because of their past or what they're going through.
This isn't to say that one should settle because I'm definitely not for that, I just think it's time for people to step down off of their high horses. Be real. Learn what it really means live as Christ. (I'm still learning.)
Writing something like this I realize that I'm making myself completely vulnerable, not something I like to do. Sometimes when you want to give your opinion or thoughts on something, you run that risk.
I love hearing what you think about my little rants, so let me know!
