| today was weird:
1. I had a dream last night that i got this dog, right? and it was grey, and kinda skittish b/c it was grown and didn't know where it was. So i was kinda looking at the dog or something, then, it stood up, like a person, walked over to the cabinet and pulled out Katey Hall's beloved green mug, then turned on the sink, filled the mug with water, and drank it. My dream thoughts: "DOODE! This is a pretty sweet dog!!"
2. I experienced firsthand actually being outside the "Chi Alpha Bubble" - i didn't like it. I wanted to get back in. Really i've been experiencing this the past couple of weeks, but today really sucked.
3. I saw two separate not related people set a huge bunch of balloons free. Free into the sky.
4. The galleria was so crowded that the parking garages were closed.
5. I wish i had something else really weird to say, but that's all i got. Give me a break, people, i worked all day!
THIS IS ALSO WEIRD.

| i started to type the lyrics to that song ... but realized how bad they are. There's been a lot of those thoughts going through my head these past couple of weeks - realizing and thinking about how bad my life really was just a year ago. While i am so thankful that it is no longer like that, i still get almost this sick feeling in my stomach thinking about the way my life was. This break is the first time all semester i've actually had time to think about ANYTHING, especially the life i left behind. I know that God had forgiven me, and I guess i have also forgiven myself, but I guess i was just expecting to forget about it all and get on with my life. But life teaches us things, i have definitely learned from the past 22 years of my life, so i wouldn't take it back, even the mistakes cuz then i wouldn't be the same i am today. I dunno, i guess i've just been feeling a bit unworthy. Hmmm ... what to do, what to do ...

| "For you were once in darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk
as children of light (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness,
righteousness, and truth). finding out what is acceptable to the Lord,
and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but
rather expose them. For it is shameful even to speak of those things
which are done by them in secret. But all things that are exposed are
made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is the light.
Therefore He says: 'Awake, you who sleep, arise from the dead, and
Christ will give you the light.'" Ephesians 5:8-14
"And this is
the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved
darkness rather than light, becasue their deeds were evil. For everyone
practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest
his deeds should be exposed. But he who does the truth comes to the
light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in
God." John 3:19-21
This is from the book "God's Greatest
Passion" and I think it is a great metaphor and wanted to share. It
really spoke to me a lot because it is totally true. And sometimes you
just need to hear the truth.
Is it possible to turn off the
lights in a dark room? Of course you can't. You can't turn off what is
already off. Unless you bring light into the room, it is going to
remain in darkness. The problem is, if you bring light into a dark
room, some people are going to be angry and tell you to turn it off. We
all know that once you have become adjusted to darkness, light burns
the eyes and is unpleasant for a while. It is the same with people who
are walking in darkness. When the light of the Word of God shines into
their lives, many will react in a negative way. For some, it would not
even matter at what rate you increased the brightness. They simply love
life in the dark. | | |
