I'm wearing glasses and a scarf today at work. They make me feel sassy.

A lot of silly, small things make me feel sassy. Red nail polish, red lipstick, sunglasses, my glasses. I think I also just like the word "sassy".

If I ever stumble into the Bible Discussions forum again, will someone please pull me out? I'm not sure my weary mind can take that much insanity!
 
I have begun another quarter of school on Monday. I also have homework. But where is my backpack? In the trunk of my car. Am I going to go get said backpack? Not today. Nope. Not today.
 
I really enjoy freaking out over nothing. Not that I knew when I started freaking out that it was going to end up being for no reason...

So that's...that's fun.

*sigh*
 
Say a prayer for me tonight and tomorrow morning, you guys. I'm taking the ACT in the morning. I'm not sure how I'll do. I pray God gives me His understanding and comprehension, and that He'll help me through it. I realize that this is just one thing, that lasts a few hours. I need to keep my eyes on the bigger picture, or else this is going to ruin me emotionally for the day.
 
Lord, help littleChristone study hard tonight, consummate inside her mind, that is your mind given her, 'we have the mind of Christ,' of You, Lord (1 Cor. 2), consummate in her mind all the little bits and pieces of knowledge that the ACT is , let her know more than she's ever known before, that she can score high on the verbal and math sections and whatever else . Help her to be refreshed after a good night's sleep and READY in the a.m. for a quick brush-through of a few more things reviewed before the test time that she is confident in your leading her through the test, amen .
---------

my best advice, review tonight until it's time for bed, get 8 hours of sleep, take NyQuil if you can't fall to sleep, that works for me, anyway, when I have colds. Sleep is VERY important going into the test tomorrow and so is giving yourself one last run through of key grammer concepts and vocabulary learning and mathematical struggles.
Not sure when your test is tomorrow but try and refresh yourself very quickly through everything . And, then go take the test. You will do just fine no matter what. The Lord leads. "..you follow Me."

Convenience store hit by bullets.
 
I just want to cry. I don't care if I sound like a little kid. This. SUCKS. I hate tests. I'm not a good test taker. I just wish I could disappear until Saturday's gone.
 
Streaker at the football game tonight. Lucky for all of us, he wore underwear.

You stay classy, El Paso. >_<

We never have streakers up here due to the cold. The guys would end up getting short-changed. :rolleyes:

I dreamed last night that there was a homeless man....or maybe a hipster...who needed help. From me. And because I couldn't tell if he was homeless or a hipster, I gave him 50 cents. I had a reason for this, in my dream, but I can't remember now. Probably it was something like, if he was homeless, then he could at least find a pay phone and call someone else to help him, but if he was a hipster, then...I dunno, 50 cents was an unheard of amount of money to spend these days, and he was probably too cool for money anyway.

The whole dream made me not want to sleep anymore.

I want to take a vacation inside your mind for just one day...I think that would be fun and trippy.
 
I actually had a pretty good router running today, it didn't keep quitting on me. But then my dad complained because there wasn't any wifi in his room, so he unplugged my router and put the old stupid one back in....
 
I was in the woods yesterday and took a look at a queen ant and other bugs that were crawling on the stump. I watched for a while, when I noticed something different about how I felt. There was a time I would just want to be as far away as possible from them. But I've been getting more in touch with what the natural world has to offer thru my interest in Bushcraft. Getting over the heebbie-geebbies.

My meditation about what God feels when he's loving us made me consider my responsibility as a steward of this earth that he put me/us in charge of. I was watching this little queen ant and I found myself feeling this "Love" for her. Because he made her and I both, and God gave us both this home. He made us to work together. But she and her community are in our care. If she's healthy she can fill her purpose as a queen ant so we can all be healthy. I wanted her to be ok, I couldn't imagine squashing her or giving her a violent flick of my finger to create some distance between us.

It was a feeling of love that I've only recently felt in a way I've never felt for a being of nature before. There isn't a living organism that isn't a part of some complex system with some social structure. Even bacteria have complex communication and are even communal to some degree. That comes from someone who gave every single star in the heavens it's own name. I can only aspire to love the way he loves. I'm feeling responsibility to everything around me to be on my best behavior. Especially, toward the ones I can't see or am afraid will harm me.

Compassion isn't something we just have or know. We need to discover it; and nurture it with Gods words, examples and being among his creation. God's personality is not reflected in the world that man has created. We need to go into nature to understand WHO he is and how he feels. Ponder on what love really looks like and feels like. Harmony is a result of love.

Thinking about my connection to that queen ant and all the little bugs doing their business on that stump, made me think about God's connection with us and my relationship to him very differently.

It was so simple, and it widened my perspective in ways that would be too complex to get into with anyone. That's what getting close to the things that God created can do for us. It gives us more perspective about who he is, how he thinks, what's important to him...and NO ONE can confuse the facts that aren't words written on a page. Because the picture he paints, that is nature, tells his story. We only need to sit among his creation to feel closest to him.

I think I am beginning to feel a bit more comfortable in my skin, or at least accepting parts of me, in a way, celebrating them. I use to feel guilty for being an introvert, that there was something wrong with me. That I'm a snob, anti-social, emo, depressed, etc. and need to change and stretch myself to suddenly enjoy things that extroverts enjoy doing. It never seemed to work, I would end up exhausted. Maybe it's my age or my lack of energy after work, but I am leaving more time for myself to recharge, do the things that I enjoy instead of giving into pressure. There has been a weight lifted.
 
I'm feeling a little sad that I'm moving again because of all the friends I made here....but I'm sure the Lord has a purpose and I will eventually learn to adapt to the change, as I've done before. Here I go.....
