i love bible studies. i am learning a lot - again and again.

this morning i learned - ONCE AGAIN (romans 8) - that our time here is so fleeting, that our eyes really have to be on the life AFTER this one. that one really does lift up - if only emotionally - a LOT of my cumbersome worries**.

i don't know why...but i get such overwhelming feelings when i read the bible, even if it's so dense that i can't really grasp it clearly at 7:30 AM in the morning. especially this:

26In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. 27And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God's will. (Romans 8:26-27)

and then i get the "don't worry, be happy" song in my head...

***i have to sell my piano in order to prepare for a roommate in august, and speaking of which, to get a SANE roommie!
