My new favorite word--discipline. so im trying to be all studious and stuff now, but it's hard. 4+ years of being a poorly disciplined person is hard to change. but this verse says i should LOVE discipline, not just do it because it's what i've been told or is good for me. to love something is a pretty daunting task, and discipline of all things...it's not like a girl or a friend, but discipline. wow. if love means sacrifice, then what do i have to give up for discipline? many things, it looks to me. but i am finding that some of the petty things i held onto in the past, once i have let them go for a little while, are easy to give up. but this is not the case for everything, and i am still finding it difficult to get over my laziness and my habitual putting off of things. well, life is a work in progress. i just hope i progress as life goes on.
oh, just for fun. Proverbs 12:4 says "A wife of noble character is her husband's crown, but a disgraceful wife is like decay in his bones." my woman better be of noble character, or else my life will be sad. so all u ladies out there who want to get with me, all 100,000 of you, you better shape up. well, actually, id probably be so happy with just having a wife, no matter who she is, so she could be of any character and id be happy...well, also, id be happy because she would order me to be happy and i would comply. haha.
