It's hilarious the conversations between my youth pastor and I sometimes. As I've said before he's like my brother. So he'll take jabs at me sometimes. So lately I've just responded with, "Your face." It's gotten pretty hilarious a few times. :p
 
our youngest coins her own terms...

she calls artificial sweeteners "cancer sugar"...:rolleyes:
 
I shouldn't have eaten any brownies and I should've not cut them.
*deep thoughts* lol
 
Would appreciate prayers. Had a bit of a panic attack tonight. I'm pretty sure I know what caused it, and I'll be fine... I just need rest. (I broke my caffeine fast a few days ago, and since then I've been having issues. So I'm going back off caffeine and staying off for a while.) And I'm not feeling the anxiety anymore. But once again...it wouldn't hurt to pray that it doesn't come back.
I'm also super glad you guys don't believe in the whole anxiety is a sin stuff. At least.. I hope you don't. If you do, I love you regardless but your opinion is not welcome.

Peace out. Goodnight.

Anxiety as a sin would be un-Biblical, according to the book of Job. Just sayin'.

True...but there are people who pull out some verses from like Matthew and Philippians I believe...and then they go on to say how it's amlack of trust in God, la la la. I've come across a few people like that...on here and in real life.

Yeah, it is.. um, a lack of trust in God, blah blah.

You know I'm kidding...


Will pray for you, lil. :)
 
Job trusted God even though he was obviously experiencing great anxiety. :) (tore his robe, poured ashes over his head, etc..)

It's ironic to me that Islam, the world religion seemingly most notorious for standing in opposition to religious freedom, is much more welcomed and accepted in secular and post-Christian culture (aka the United States and many European countries) than is Christianity or even Judaism, world religions much more friendly to and even supportive of religious liberty.

This is on my mind after hearing today that Duke University, a private, secular university that removed a Chik-fil-a restaurant from its grounds after its owner voiced public support for biblical/traditional marriage, is now going to regularly sound a Muslim call to prayer across its campus every Friday.

This isn't meant to be a doom-and-gloom post, but rather a statement of the irony of the situation and my own lack of surprise at the double-standards that Christianity faces.

People hate the Truth, but will accept the lies.


All I will say.
 
There is a lot I need to study bible wise. Its been frustrating but I've been learning quite a few things. Just glad God continues to have mercy on me.


Also been thinking about calling some old friends that I haven't seen in years. Its exciting yet nerve wrecking at the same time. I wonder how they will react, if they'd want to reconnect, and spend some time together. Some of them are from my child hood so I hope I can even find them. haha


I've always wanted to dye my hair... I can't ever decide on one colour. But I've wanted to try black, dark black for a long while. Most people say no, avoid it..it will probably not look good..thanks guys haha. XD Most say some form of blonde would look good for me. I sorta like the idea of red..or pink.
 
I just had a dream that the St. Louis Rams (US football team) were back in los angeles (they used to be LA's football team til the late 90's). They did say in the news a couple days ago that the rams owner is going to build a new stadium here.. but I did not expect to dream about it. :confused:

I'm not one for unnatural hair colors. Some people go crazy with those.

Black is an interesting and most well liked color. I have virgin hair as well (auburn color mostly since it got darker over time from a more reddish color). I would think if anything, chestnut brown would be okay on me.

Good luck for reconnecting with your old friends. I would warn that some may not accept with open arms, but that could be because of my luck as well as socialization tend to suck. :-\
 
I am starting to ask God for an adventure each day and He is providing. Also I am continuing to get into the word to hear it again. It is easy to study it to a pulp, compared to actively hearing its message.

Men's basketball is being tried on a new day and time.

I am grateful for how much God has grown me and anticipate continued growth. It is helpful to journal daily and STICK to the plan.

Today, Lord, use me in a fresh way. Meet me where I am and lead me.
Thanks, in Jesus name, amen.

Sometimes I roll out of bed and start sewing buttons back onto pants.

Ugh, grogginess. Head cold. Brain weirdness. Still dark outside. Had a dream last night I grew a beard like Phil on Duck Dynasty so I could infiltrate a Beard Convention and steal their Secret...something. No idea what it was. But I think I looked quite nice with a long gray beard.

Ooooh! Coffee's ready. My world can continue turning now.
 
Life would be so much simpler if I was a robot. Then when I told myself that something really didn't matter I'd listen to myself and that something wouldn't keep bothering me. In other news, Operation computer time limits has met with a fair amount of success as I got a decent amount of work done this week. And didn't stay up too late surfing the internet.

Just to give an update, Duke reversed their decision yesterday. I think they made the right decision, but not because Islam needs to be banned from the public square. As Christians, we should be in favor of religious freedom. I think the reversal was the right decision because the majority of the students on the campus are not Muslim and it would have been odd to do that every single week. I don't think it would've been wrong to do it once a year or something, but not every week.
