not much...

Not much going on in my life. it's summertime in chicago. i have the whole week off before i start a class that i'm taking. im looking forward to just relaxing. "The Taste" started this weekend. So, i'll probably try to get there sometime this week. ok...so other than that absoulutely nothing. i feel like my life has become very uneventful. ugh. maybe i should try to find exciting things to talk about. hmmm, ok. today after YP2 rehearsal a few of us went to have breakfast (more like breakfast at lunch). good food, good times. rehearsal itself was OK. i secretly think our members luv each other so much that when it's time for rehearsal they are so excited about seeing each other, we forget that we're really here to sing. it's kind of funny. (well, for a little bit.) :) pray for jenny and i. you know how you have the burden for something but you're like, is everyone else feeling this the way i am??? hmm. i dunno. i think i always feel like that about everything, though. ok, well, keep me in your prayers. we'll see if anything exciting happens sometime soon. the possibilities are endless, right? :)

Not ashamed while waiting...

"For they shall not be ashamed that wait for me.." ~Isaiah 49:23b

I used to think this verse meant you wouldn't be ashamed if you waited (past tense) on God because the blessing you receive in the future will make it so that you are not ashamed. In essence, "you won't be ashamed once you see what I've done."

But,

I've found that this scripture is actually present tense.

If he meant in the future based on what's been done in the past, he'd have written "for they were not ashamed that waited on me." after receiving, you're not ashamed.

His true meaning....

Those who are presently waiting (most likely having not received the promise) shall not (presently) be ashamed that wait (presently) for me.

Now that's deep. Not ashamed, embarrased, anxiety filled while waiting.

Correct me if I'm wrong.
