    Randomness and Krab Patties

    I feel the urge to blog, but since there is no one brilliant thing I have to say, I thought I'd just write down several. Enjoy.

    1. I've always wanted to learn how to tango. You know, cling to your partner as he drags you across the room, then throw your leg up on his shoulder at the end. The only thing that concerns me about that is that if there's a crack in the sidewalk, I'm going to trip over it.

    2. I just watched a little tidbit from "Nanny 911". All I have to say is, praise God I don't have 6 children. Actually, I don't have any. But I want some one day. Well, not all at once. One every couple of years or so would be ok with me. Ew... 6 kids at once. What a horrible joke. But, at least you'd get a lot of money. Then you could hire a nanny and take a cruise. Hey...

    3. I do have a cat though. But she acts more like a dog than a child (she plays catch). But she whines a lot. Kind of clingy. She's a picky eater, too. And she hogs the bed...

    4. Anybody want a free cat?

    5. When you make baked beans, do yourself a favor: never add grape jelly. Although for the record... I know that there is something you're supposed to add that to to make it sweet. Just have to figure out what it is. 

    6. Have you ever noticed who owns the Krab Shack on "Spongebob"? A crab.   Do you know what he sells? CRAB PATTIES!! A crab cooking crab and selling it to his fellow seacreatures. It's teaching our kids to be cannibals! Just think... 20, 30 years from now when our kids are ruling the world... you see a bbq diner off the road... is that really beef you're tasting?? I'm scarred.

    7. Thank God for the sausage, egg and cheese biscuit from McD's.

    8. When running a dishwasher, it's never a good idea to mix powered detergent with liquid.

    9. Why is it that whenever you're in a serious moment or you need to be professional, you ALWAYS either have the sudden urge to fart or think of the most hilarious thing that has ever happened to you in your life?

    10. My roommate took me out to breakfast for my birthday this past Sunday. There was a little kid in a bunny costume walking around the restaurant, freaked my poor friend out the whole time. I finally looked at her and said, "It's just a kid. Kids are people, too." Without missing a beat, she looked up at me and said, "Oh, you mean like how midgets are people, too?"  Point taken.

    11. How is it that Howard Stern can get on his show EVERY DAY and say something that offends every group/race/society, but Imus says one thing and not only has to publicly apologize, schedule a meeting to apologize again to the offended party, take a two week disciplinary leave AND possibly lose his show? Not excusing what he said, but come on...

    12. It's official! Larry Burkette is the father of Anna Nicole Smiths' baby. Yay. Now I can sleep.

    13. I'm glad I didn't grow up in England. Do you know what they eat over there? I'd be a very sad Brit. Yes I would.

    14. I've discovered something about myself this morning. I'd rather walk a wrinkled shirt all the way across my apartment, throw it in the dryer, walk to the other bathroom, wet a washcloth and add that, and wait ten minutes for it to dry than simply fold the basket of clothes it was sitting in.

    15. You know the song, "If Loving You is Wrong (I Don't Wanna Be Right)"?  Luther Ingram sings it, it's from the 70s. I've always liked it. Well, I've always liked the chorus anyway. So I downloaded it, burned it onto a cd and today listened to the whole thing for the first time. Have you ever listened to the lyrics? It's a horrible song! He's married! Kids! Wife! And he ain't singin' to her... I was so disappointed. Now it's ruined for me.

    16. Thank God I'm not a midget.

    17. I saw Jeff Goldblum in an interview the other night. Is it possible he's gay?

    18. I've found that I have some of the greatest friends in the world.

    19. I've also learned that if someone you don't know asks you for your phone number... DON'T DO IT!

    20. Last night, I checked my alarm 5-6 times like I always do (my alarm clock always puts me in OCD mode). Set it for 8:59. I wake up 3, 4 times during the night. So, when it's finally time to wake up, I look at the clock and... it's 9:30. What?!? Double check the alarm... and it's set for 8:59 alright. 8:59 PM. Sometimes it hurts my brain to be so brilliant.

    Great... "If Loving You is Wrong....." is stuck in my head. Fantabulous....

    Changes

    It's been awhile since I've blogged... life's been a little crazy. I just got back from a week in Florida. It was so peaceful where I was staying, and I found an unexpected but very welcome communion with the Lord. Got to pray, and listen. Really, really listen, with a clear head and clear heart. Turns out, He had a lot to tell me.

       He's called me to make some big changes. Nothing I'm really ready to talk about right now... but when the time is right, I will. But it's going to be difficult for some people to accept. I'm trying to figure out the best way to go about making these changes. But in the end...

       The only thing that really matters is that you obey. That if He tells you to go somewhere or do something or stop doing something.... you do it. No matter how difficult it is. You must. Because in the end, the only one that will be holding you accountable is well, Him.

    A child's cry

       So, tonight was my turn in the nursery. There was this little girl, about a year old. At some point during the service, she started crying... and NOTHING could quiet her tears. I sang to her, I danced with her, I played with her. I held her, I rocked her, I kissed her. Eventually, someone else came in to help. And I sat, watching. 
       I watched as my friend (who is MADE for motherhood) sang to her, held her, kissed her. This child would quiet her tears for a time, then as soon as she would be put down, she would cry again. And we're sitting there, in the dark... my friend and the child leaning against the cracked door, where the child's mother is on the other side, singing to her newborn. And only when this little girl realized it was her mother's voice she was hearing, she was calmed.

    And I'm sitting there, watching.

    And I realized...

    That's us. When we're upset, or stressed, or afraid... how many things do we turn to for comfort? Who do you turn to? Your parents, your friends? Or do you turn to other things, like porn, or alcohol? How long does the peace they bring last?

    My friend... it cannot last long. Two different people tried to comfort that little girl tonight, but only one thing succeeded in calming her: her mother's voice. Like that little girl, we pass from person to person, searching, but never finding. Looking, but never seeing. I wonder, how long does the Lord sing to us before we hear? How long do we make Him wait to hold us?

    "'Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be alarmed.'" - Jesus  (John 14:27) 

    Darkness can be a scary place to be. If you ever find yourself there, stop. Listen. And you'll hear Him singing your name. Wanting to rescue you. He's just waiting for you.

    Updates! Read all about it!

    It's been awhile since my last post. God's been pretty busy with me. I guess He got tired of all the crutches I've been leaning against for well, the majority of my life and decided to remove all of them... in the span of about 2 weeks. Not really important what all happened, but I will say that: as the floor was crumbling all around me, a strong and sturdy path materialized out of nothingness, and He has held my hand through every step. I know what you're thinking! What? God, like, being there with you, holding your hand and stuff? Actually like, directing your steps? Ha... wow, what a twist in events...
    So, for the past couple of weeks I've been stumbling around blindfolded, wondering why I keep stubbing my toe. Everything sort of came to a head this past Monday night which resulted in one of the most honest, gut-wrenching prayer times I've ever spent with the Lord. Oh, and this time, I actually... listened. Amazing what a little listening can accomplish. And in about 4 minutes, He did what I couldn't accomplish in 25 years. Isn't it funny how when our heart is broken, He's right there hugging us, and we're saying, "Geez, would you just comfort me already, God??" I swear, sometimes I can almost see His eyebrow raise as He says, "Hellloooo?!?"
    So that's where I am. Learning once again to be comfortable not only with myself, but how to be held in His hand again. I know, I know: if you're a child of God, you're ALWAYS in His hand. But it's a little different when you're actually AWARE of it...
    Drop me a line, peeps! My internet is incognito right now, so I now must take advantage of the offerings of our city's Public Library. Sadly, it's become one of the highlights of my week. Go on, you know you want to. Tell me how cool I am. Ha

About Me

  • Aloha!! Hmm, about me. I love the Lord. I love anything that makes me dance or laugh, and singing obnoxiously loud in my car, cooking, although I'd rather be eating. I drive my people nuts because I rarely try anything new. I never stray from my favorites on the menu. I also have a raving good time car-dancing with my friends. It takes a special sort of people you can do that with, and thank God I've found them. I love to watch the sun set and rise. I could look at the ocean for an entire day and still not be ready to leave. I read somewhere that a girl should put her heart in the Lord's. That way, the man will have to go there to find it. I like that statement. I miss ministry. I've smuggled Bibles into Communist country and watch the love of God flood into someone's life. I've seen rats the size of cats. I've been chased by the Green Police. I've been thanked for telling someone about Jesus. And I would do it all over again in a heartbeat.
