Oh Frustration

I hate saying too much. I hate not being heard. I hate being given ultimatums. I hate being picked up. I hate when people use kiddie words for reproductive organs. I hate over-priced crap. I hate improperly brewed espresso. I hate my friend being sick. I hate my room being messy. I hate when someone says something important and then never mentions it again. I hate waiting. I hate stress. I hate stupidity. I hate being late. I hate not having time to shower because I got home late. But Jesus loves me so I guess it's all good in the end.

Good Morning! Happy Sunday! The day of rest! Well, okay I have to work today but the rest of you should rest and be merry. Well, perhaps not merry but joyful. It's the Lord's day, wooooo!!!!! Philippians 4:20 "To our God and Father be the glory forever and ever. Amen." What can we do to bring glory to God? What can we do to bring His love and word to others? I've learned in the past few months that the ideas we have when we are calm (as far as resolving problems go) are usually the ones that glorify Him. When we sit in our anger and give ourselves no time to heal, we tend to do rash things, likke hurt one another just to make ourselves feel better. But really, does watching HIs children break each other down bring Him glory? I don't think it does, but that's just me. i think we need to lift eachother UP!!!! Bring glory to God by usig the love He has bestowed upon us to bring others joy! So today, whether you work or just rest, bring Him glory. Love one another as He has loved us. Praise the Lord and go in peace!!!

God Only Knows what We Love the Most

Last night I wen tot the bank and I saw the most beautiful rainbow. Now I personally, enjoy rainbows a lot. First off, the colors are amazing. Second off, if you go over it, there is a land of yellow brick roads and talking apple trees. ANd the whole pot of gold at the end thing. Who wouldn't love that? But I think what really gets me about rainbows is God's promise that He will never again purge the Earth by water. That He will keep us safe. I love it. There was a huge thunderstorm yesterday and you know from my other post how much I love thunderstorms and how I feel that it's God way of saying, listen to me! I love you! And to see such a rainbow, a perfect parabola of seven colors that lasted for an hour, just shook my soul and showed me His face. God knew that I would love that. And considering how I have been straying, I'm sure He knew that me seeing that would help bring me back in. And it has helped. It was beautiful. Yes I know the story of Noah and how Noah maybe wasn't the greatest guy after that story was over but look at that rainbow. Look at the promise of love and of protection.

Thinking Thoughts of Wisdom and Foolery

Being foolish is very hard. It's simple at first, to do something foolish and to not worry or care. However, when wisdom comes through, it's so hard to look back and see the consequences. It is fun at first, to be thoughtless and foolish. But in the end people get hurt by such recklessness. And it hurts your heart to see how you have strayed and how far you have to come back. It makes you ashamed to see the damage you have caused. I suppose some people don't care and it is easy to just live on in foolishness. The Bible says that the fool will meet his folly. The fool builds his house on the sand, and the house washes away. The wise man builds his house upon the rock. I have left my house on the rock for a hut on the beach, and now I have no shelter.

On Being an Impatient Flake

While I know I am very loved, certain circumstances make me amazed that I have that love. I have been told multiple times by multiple people that I need more patience in my soul. Because I am one of the most horribly impatient people most of my friends have the pleasure of knowing :). Now my impatience has me in a bind. It isn't life or death by any means but it means hurting feelings no matter what happens and you know, I really hate hurting people's feelings. It would mean breaking prmoises that I should not have made in the first place, so it's really my own fault for making them. But other people shouldn't get hurt because I am sometimes and impatient flake. It isn't abad thing, it's a character flaw and while I work on it, at the same time I have to accept it about myself. But I hsould not have gotten myself into this situation. I should have been patient and waited for I knew I should have been waiting for. I love you all and I appreciate your love for me. I know it's from God and God is very good. I should listen to Him more often, and not make rash decisions as often.

A Blog About Nothing in Particular

Well hello. Today my mind is wandering far and near. I love many people very dearly and I think they should all know that. I also think that littering is a bad plan. I also think we should listen to those wiser than us with more care and consideration, because I have learned as of late that they are usually right. The world needs more love in it.

Really Huge Bugs

Why is it so easy to let people ruin what God has given us? God gives us special moments and then in one conversation, those moments get ruined by what people think and see and their insights and opinions. Don't get me wrong, I am glad to hear others ideas on important decisions but still. It kind of sucks that what other people think can so readily affect how we feel. And really, the only thing that should matter is what God tells us, right? Of course, because people are stupid and make decisions based on human needs and God is perfect. And yet it is so easy for others to get into our heads and sometimes make our decisions for us. I have a lot to pray about at the moment and I hate that I have let others' opinions affect me so much. It is one thing to appreciate the advice and mull it over. It is another thing entirely to let it block out what God is saying. I think I need some Bible time. And just so you know, if you read this and think it's about you let me just say that any advice slash insight given is appreciated. I just think too much.
