I Don't Want to Wait!

I love song lyrics, as many a former roommate of mine can attest to, I become fairly obsessive over the ones that really speak to me (Ibs you know you loved hearing the same song being played 50 times in a row)!

Lately I’ve been hearing the former Dawson’s Creek song being played everywhere (haha, especially now that I found a Paula Cole CD at Goodwill). Now, I’m pretty sure my boy will know his father, but the idea of not wanting to wait for life to be over has been getting me thinking a lot.

I’m not a very patient person. I want to know where my life has headed, if I’ll ever get married, if I’ll ever make it to Africa etc. etc. Right now I’ve just been wanting to get to Guelph, and not wanting to wait to get there. It is such a transition time for me, being at home physically, but my heart isn’t really here because I know it is temporary. I finally settled into my room this week though, which has helped.

As I worked through my impatience with wanting to get started on the next chapter of my life, I realized that by not wanting to wait I’m actually missing out on an important process. I’m going to end up skipping a whole chapter by trying to skip ahead. If you skip a chapter in a novel, you often end up missing out on details that the author wanted you to know in order to figure things out, or better understand. The Author of my life has a plan that includes this support raising time period in my life.

This week has been incredible; I’ve been learning so much that I don’t even know where to begin! And though I don’t want to wait for my life to be over, I realize that this too is life and that there’s lots I can learn and have fun with if I focus on the moment.

P.S. Happy Canada Day!

Hey Jenn!
I happened upon your blog from...I actually can't remember now...I think you commented on someone's blog that I know.
ANYWAY...I'm Vanessa and I'm on staff at Guelph! So I decided to comment so you don't think I'm a blog stalker. :D
Looking forward to meeting you (will you be there at staff conference?) and feel free to check out my blog!
I'm pumped you're coming to Guelph and have been talking to Jen Clarke (we're both at IBS in Florida right now). She also told me of your pig latin incident at MET. I laughed so hard! I think we'll get along just fine. :D

Pig latin incident? what's that about?

Jenn said...

Hahaha, not to be shared via this blog. Whoever you are anonymous, we can talk later...

Beth said...

How did Jen Clarke learn about the pig latin incident???

It wasn't me. Although I have told several others. It's my favourite way to introduce you, Jenn.

"How did the spread of Islam affect the world?"

Among the reasons for the rapid and peaceful spread of Islam was the simplicity of its doctrine. Islam calls for faith in only One God worthy of worship. It also repeatedly instructs man to use his powers of intelligence and observation.

Within a few years, great civilizations and universities were flourishing, for according to the Prophet (SAW) 'seeking knowledge is an obligation for every Muslim man and woman'. The synthesis of Eastern and Western ideas and of new thought with old, brought about great advances in medicine, mathematics, physics, astronomy, geography, architecture, art, literature, and history. Many crucial systems such as algebra, the Arabic numerals, and also the concept of the zero (vital to the advancement of mathematics), were transmitted to medieval Europe from Islam. Sophisticated instruments which were to make possible the European voyages of discovery were developed, including the astrolabe, the quadrant and good navigational maps.
