Thankful Thurday XIII

Yep - it's Sunday, what better day to be Thankful ;-) .

36. Coconut Water - as if I needed something more to make me hyper. But it's more nutritious than chocolate, so it's definitely something I'm thankful for. This liquid literally clears up my brain, lifts up my eyelids, and shoots energy into my muscles in less than 5 seconds. Doesn't work every time, but when it does, I really should learn to channel that energy to useful tasks ... instead of jumping around and being happy (which, don't get me wrong, isn't a bad thing).

37. Surprises in the Mail - celebrated being an ancient the other day and got a mug, a gorgeous card, and an awesome video in the mail. 
They make life exciting and let you know people love you... and it makes you be silly and say "awwwww" about 15 times. :D

From Essie :D

It REALLY wow-ed me to think the package came from almost halfway around the world!


YUM :D


Prettiful card from Indi :)

38. Mini Chef Sister - Jsis is an awesome chef/cook/bakeress/whatever. In fact, my whole family is well-versed in culinary arts (I'm the black sheep :P ). She manages to make heavenly pastries and keep them somewhat healthy.

Yep, those are glass Pyrex containers you see... an original idea of Jsis.
She baked these cheesecakes in the toaster oven.
On the left is marbled chocolate and the right is cranberry.
Mouth-watering...

39. Iced Tea - I don't know how to make iced-tea. I put tea in my ice-water. Is that right? Regardless, it tastes good and doesn't burn my tongue in the summer.

Tea Hattie sent me - it's strong but good.


This is turning into a photo post ... maybe I should switch it to a photo blog... pretty sky pictures probably coming up soon.

Shalom,
CJ

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...

"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...
