ok, so some of you already know that i'm going to Europe for my grad trip with lav. and well, to my surprise, my parents were really cool with it! well, intially, at least. guess possibly coz we'd earlier suggested South America. hahaanyway, so they were great with us going to Europe...until they spoke to their friends and suddenly, they've decided they don't want me going. oh but first, my mom woke up in the middle of the night and got really worried. and i know i can't fend off my mom's worry esp when she's got an intuition and 6th sense about things. so yeah, i'm pissed since i've already given my word to lav and we've already been planning bits of our trip the last month or so and it's been one thing that have been keeping us going thru all the work. but oddly enough, just before they raised their reservations on Sunday night, i was reminded during qt to commit my trips and everything beyond my thesis to God and let Him work it out and i really wanted His plans over mine, yes, even with my grad trip and living it up before i start work. then they decide it's not safe! didn't wanna pursue it when they first told me coz i was peeved and i knew anything i said wld have not been better not said. so i sat mum and tried it to not let it bug me the rest of the night over dinner.so i brought it up again today after talking to lav a little bit about it and tried to reassure them again tonight. tried assuring them that we've got our bases covered in Paris and Italy...but i didn't go far. i knew i could stretch the truth about who we'll be meeting and staying with and all but guess what? today's qt was about being transparent, having nothing to hide, and having no duplicity. ooooooooh God....i wasn't planning on this! and so they're still not for me going coz they just don't feel safe about it. sigh. goes back to the fact that we're two girls doing europe alone without the boys. i know where they're coming from...but it just sucks.i don't know how i'm gonna convince them or if i'll even manage to. i'm definitely hoping i manage to. but i know that even if i do, they're not gonna be at ease with me going. and i hate doing things they're not in favor of...and so i ask them where we could go that would ease their mind and they say austraila. siiiiiigh.lav, we'll talk more about this tmr. there's still room for negotiation with the folks. they're fine with where we're going except Paris and Italy and the traveling to/within these places. sigh.ok God, Your will over mine. i surrender. just wish obedience weren't so hard. haha
