such great heights

'criticism is something we can avoid easily by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing'

-aristotle

criticism comes.  it always has and always will.  this can be a hard pill to swallow.  as a christian we are told time and time again that criticism will come even more often.  i know it has been for me in my life.  no matter how well you think you are doing, someone, somewhere has something to say, something to pick apart about what you did.  what really stinks is when the criticism comes from someone you really care about.

what stinks even more than that i when this person coming after you, is coming after you for all the wrong reasons.  often times though that is what happens.

when i found aristotle's quote at the top it really just caused me to start thinking.  to do some hardcore thinking.  i guess we just to continue doing what we feel we need to.  to keep seeking Christ, and let the rest of the stuff take care of itself.  we have to learn to deal with the criticism.  the awesome thing is that Christ wants to take care of that burden.

so amazing.

on a side note. i missed two classes today. and came extremely close to sleeping through another japanese class.

pray that i survive this semester.

peace
