Thankful Thursday II

I feel like I've been posting a lot recently... *wonders if that's a good thing or not*

I'm gonna see how many "Thankful Thursdays" I can do before... well... before I stop ... 
(which I hope I never do until I die, the rapture, or I lose internet connection for an extended period of time; in which case I would continue the ritual on good old paper :) ).


4. Air in its gaseous state - aren't you glad God created air as a gas? I mean, imagine if air was liquid, (i.e. the medium in the atmosphere was all liquid), we wouldn't be able to see things as clearly, we'd all be buff from constant swimming, I'm not quite sure how our lungs would work, and a bunch of other less pleasant things . Solid air isn't possible, because, well, we couldn't move at all. In fact, I'm thankful for all three phases. Even though there are only 3 of them, they sure can make up a lot of variety.

5. Socks - I love wearing socks in the house. In winter, they keep my feet warm. In summer, they make my feet feel... smaller? tighter? I'm not sure :-/ But, socks rock! How inconvenient would it be to have to wear stockings all the time? Oo, and I'm really thankful that socks nowadays are stretchy. Loose socks that keep falling off can get annoying.

6. Language - this one is broad and I may bring it up again. Words spoken; words written; words motioned (i.e. sign language).  What would we do without communication?  And they have power (will be doing a post on that soon).  And the creativity across the languages... the syntax/grammar, the letters/characters, the pronunciation/utterance, the intricacy of it all, makes one stand in awe of the human mind. And God's mind for that matter, when He decided to "confuse" the people building the tower of Babel.  I'm really thankful for all aspects of language :) .

1 Thessalonians 5:18
In everything give thanks; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.

Internal Emotional Wearing-down

Where I've come from: I have been driven by fear and a desire to please people. I hate that. I thought I could live for my own values and beliefs... but I haven't been able to. Not until this past Sunday. I told my mother off... I was breaking down inside. I have wanted to die for over a year now. Everything seemed hopeless. Not so much for me, but for my purpose and effective work on planet earth. I saw no fruit. I could labor for the rest of my days to live and serve my God. And never ever see the results... and not that I need to see something... but because I knew that what I did WAS POINTLESS. I was doing nothing. And it was because in my mother's eyes, I would never be ready. I would never be enough. She thought she was protecting. She wasn't letting me grow. I can't do more if all you let me do is what is safe. ~CJ

Thankful Thursday XI

Aaaggghhh... I am so behind in the blogging world, like one of my friends says, " it's not even funny. " *sighs*  And I didn't get the chance to blog the Phriday Photos / Funnies - so I'll do a double one tomorrow :) . Anyways - what I'm thankful for this week: 30. BLOGS!!! - I'll admit it. When I first heard the word "blog", I thought the cyberworld couldn't get any sillier.  Well, way to go, CJ. Just join the silliness. Evidently the silliness has its advantages O.O . It's a place for me to rant, rave, and ramble, whether or not my readers want to see it.  It helps me organize my wordy thoughts.  And!! I can share what's been on my mind without having to know if people are looking at me strangely... hehe.  A more serious reason: I can share and read other's testimonies on how God is answering prayers: Answereth All !! *big smile* 31. 2 jobs - It's strange to say my piano teaching is a job, since I really enjoy telli...

Asis: Woah - I just swallowed a ton of food. Jsis: Most people do... Asis: I meant at ONE time!! ________________________________________________________ A 5yo boy from Sunday School comes up to me holding a toy train and says, "LOOK! I am a fixer train .

"No. It doesn't pay," said Davy. "Well, Davy, just tell God you are sorry and ask Him to forgive you." "Have YOU forgiven me, Anne?" "Yes, dear." "Then," said Davy joyously, "I don't care much whether God does or not." "Davy!" "Oh -- I'll ask Him -- I'll ask Him," said Davy qu...
