The title really has no relation to the topic of this particular blog post, but I just finished watching the original Halloweentown (which was completely the best), and it is almost Halloween. Therefore, you have no place to complain that the title and topic aren't equal.
So much is going on this week (most of it good), and I just wanted to share the excitement with all of you.
The thing I'm most excited about is that I get to devote three nights of my life this week to the combination of two of my favorite things ever: BALLROOM AND BROADWAY! The genius behind this marriage of the greatest hobbies ever is Harley Medcalf. I'm so incredibly pleased to say that I get to meet this man this week and get to pick his brain a little bit. The best part is that I'm writing a paper for a class about family-friendly Broadway shows and then an actual Broadway producer is handed to me on a silver platter.
Which leads me to the real topic of the day: God provides. I'll admit that I've been feeling really sorry for myself a lot recently. This is ridiculous of me, and I know it. Even when I can't see God jumping through hoops to please my every whim (as if He wanted to do that anyway...we all know that my ways are far inferior to His) I should still be praising Him for everything He's blessed me with and looking for the lesson in the situation instead of complaining incessantly. Today I've been listening to a ton of songs about surrendering your burdens, and I think since I haven't been listening lately God decided to just drill it into my head. So I've decided to listen and do as I'm obviously being commanded to do.
Rhetorical Questions: Is it incredibly lame that the preview for the one hour Hannah Montana special made me almost cry? Is it sad that I find Sonny With a Chance's commedy skits to be occasionally more entertaining than Saturday Night Live skits? Am I referencing the Disney Channel entirely too much tonight?

Witticism of the Day: When we're learning to draw, we make what we think is a circle on a piece of paper. Later in life we look back at that drawing and realize what we thought was a circle is really just some semblance of one and more scribble than actual shape, but we know how to form a circle now. It is in the same way that we learn from our situations what God planned for us. (I can't take credit for this because I heard this at Sunday School today, but I felt it should be passed on because I really enjoyed the analogy. It's still witty.)
