College is for Learners

This blog is dedicated to the funny/weird/inspirational moments that two girls from two different colleges with one sense of humor experience.

I'm not always one that is super into what you might call "sentimental" religious sayings, but just because it's Sunday, and on Sunday you tell the truth, I'll share one thought that I had recently.

Ok, I'm sorry for being an excessively musical blogger. The other day I was just listening to a song, Month of May by Arcade Fire from their Suburbs album (which is an awesome album, btw, I love its theme) and I was paying attention to the lyrics, some of which go like this:

"Now the kids are all standing with their arms folded tight
Kids are all standing with their arms folded tight...
So young, so young
So much pain for someone so young
Well, I know it's heavy, I know it ain't light
But how you gonna lift it with your arms folded tight?"

I may not know entirely what he was meaning by that, and I still love the song, but I couldn't help but think "Well, that's really the only way I can lift something heavy." All I can do is pray my guts out and work my hardest at life, because that is one of the only things in life I know for certain will work things out. I wouldn't say that I've really had "so much pain for someone so young," but I do know that my life is being kept afloat by the grace of God and no matter what else is going on, that's what I need to hold on to.

Conference on.
