so it's been a few days. trust me, my life is none too exciting, so you haven't missed much. went to camden for the cup this past weekend. it practically hurricaned the whole time we were outside. i'm talking lightning, thunder, terrential rains, horses splashing mud and muck everywhere, tent leaking, infield flooding, etc. etc. etc. by the time we got back to my parents' house we had to ring out our dresses. i had to dig up old football and baseball sweats that gray wore in high school, because i had brought home no warm clothes. it was still a fun weekend though. saw lots of sweet people that i miss at fbc-camden sunday morning (it was GORGEOUS sunday, by the way). visited with angela sunday night, and watched twilight several times. it was a good weekend.
this week has gone by quickly so far, and i hope it will continue to. had dinner with lindsey and liz monday night to discuss some urgent (and exciting) matters. : ) then sara came over for a while to catch up, which was really fun. tuesday night i cooked a great dinner, and liz came over to watch twilight (again!). side note - last night i had some crazy weird twilight dreams and will not be watching it again for a while. moving on. tonight i need to go to bed early, because i have to be at work at 5:30 in the morning to go to columbia for a legistlative breakfast. UGH. i hate morning. i'm going to have to wake up at around 4:30. i'm expecting to get off at 2, though, so i'll sleep all day. however, i'm pretty sure i WON'T go to bed early tonight, because liz and i are cooking dinner with john and joe, and then they are responsible for having something for us to do that does not involve cards. the 4 of us cannot play cards together anymore, because somebody always gets mad (hint: usually the females).
i just ate lunch, and now i desperately need a bite of something sweet. my co-worker won't give me any of the reese's eggs she has in her office. pretty cruel, if you ask me.
spiritually speaking, i have 2 nuggets of truth for you to ponder (not from me, duh. from jesus.):
1. he will always take us back, but not to just keep on living like we've been living. he tells us to deny ourselves. hm. i've been thinking on that all week. what would it really look like for me to truly deny myself? a whole heck of a lot different than how my life looks right now. chew on that for a day or so, and i'll expand on it when i have time.
2. why, after god told moses and aaron what miracles to perform for pharoah, did he allow pharoah's wisemen and sorcerers to perform the very same miracles? i don't understand. he told moses and aaron to turn the rod into a serpent. i mean, WORD. that's awesome. but then pharoah's smarty pants wisemen do the same flipping thing. why?? i have some thoughts on this, but i haven't gotten them all together yet. so you go ahead and think on it, and i'll get back to you. so far, what i'm really thinking, is that god probably watched pharoah's men do it, and he kind of chuckled. more on that later.
lyric of the day:
high, high above the sky
words fall for you and i
but we don't listen
"my beloved, quiet your panic
and quiet your static
and you'll find me within"
we pass each other on the street
everyone we meet never seems to notice
strings that are coming from our skin
as we unravel in the wind
as we lose focus
be still your shaking heart
be still
-five a.m.
