I Might Have Overcooked It

Hooray for real food!

I'm feeling much better! I'm actually off the BRAT diet! Yay.

Not to be read in a whiny manner:
It's hard getting close to people... I sometimes think "Maybe if they knew the real me, they wouldn't like me anymore." or "I'll get on their nerves if I act like myself." I'm not sure that I actually get on anyone's nerves (except of course the roomie's, but that's just because we live together), but somehow it's a thought that stays in my head. I'm fairly high energy. I'm afraid that my hyperness gets on people's nerves. I guess i'm just paranoid. I was so lonely at the beginning of semester, but I've finally adjusted to this year's circle of friends. I have some people I can really talk to and really love to be around. I feel really called just to love the people around me. I think God has so much of a better life for my friends, if only they'd let Him in. Even if they don't ever come to have a relationship with God, I still love them. I'm so self-centered. This week I'm going to focus on loving others just for the sake of loving them instead of wanting to be loved.

Dorky breeches and riding helmet!

Tummy, oh tummy
You're being quite bummy.
I think it's not funny...
to send things through runny.

Ok... that's kinda a gross poem... oh well....

This really ain't funny!

Crazy life! Crazy life! *Takes a nap*

Bible lesson makes it better. I can be somewhat of a couch potatoe Christian! Time to get off the sofa! UP! UP! UP! Genesis is awesome. I love all the applicable lessons from the histories.

Lesson for the Day.... Bum, bum, bum (can you stand the excitement?????)...
Random story from Genesis 26!

The Philistines stopped up all Isaac's wells after Abraham died. So he dung another well, but each time he dung a new one the Gerar shepherd step in and say "hey, that's my well... go away." But Isaac simply moved on and tried at a new location. He named them Esek and Sinah (dispute and opposition) until finally he dug Rehoboth ("room") and no body disputed it. He went from location to location until God finally provided room for him even though he faced opposition. He was like the little engine that could. Then others saw (the very people who had persecuted him) that God was with him in everything. So they asked to make a treaty with him. Low and behold... where I would have said..."go away you greedy theives," Isaac made them a feast and swore and oath to them, and they left in peace. Then, God provided yet another well.
