Addition to Lazy Day :)

This day will be an absolute lazy day. I watched about three movies, while cleaning up my room, working on my laptop, eating breakfast,... it was really cool and I enjoy having two screens. This is just awesome.

I got to talk to Mathuel online today. It was really nice. I haven't done that in a really long time. Man, I still have another year ahead of me before I will graduate. Isn't that annoying??? I am so sick of school and all of that stress and trouble. I guess I will be really relieved when I finished the next year and of course I will try to be good and work as hard as I can.

I fear I won't stick to my priorities. I hope I can do everything the way I actually want it and not care so much about my grades. What are grades compared to eternal life?? But I know that once I start school again priorities get messed up because they are so longterm but test are coming up very quickly and you have immediate consequences. In my opinion this should be included in every-day prayer. Maybe you can also pray for me so that I stick to it.

Something really cool I read today in my bible's annotations is the following. It will only be a part of the text, but I thought it was really great:

People often compared Leah and Rachel, judging the two sisters by what they were on the outside. Not God. He never asks us to compare ourselves with any other person. In fact, it is a slap in God's face to look at someon else and say, "I wish I were more like her." Why? Because God tenderly and uniquely designed you just the way He wanted you to be. He made you for Himself. He made you in a way that can never be duplicated. When you begin to compare yourself with another person, you are saying, "God, You made a mistake. You failed. You could have done a better job creating me." None of us has the privilege of critizing God. He is the Creator who looks at each of His created beings and says to Himself, "It is good." Get to the place where you hold a high opinion of yourself based on the fact that God made you exactly, precisely, intricately, wondrously, and uniquely the way you are. You are a one-of-a-kind creation for which there is no comparison!

I really like this. I think this is something that should always be remembered.
