strange resolution

I stated in my G+ page that I wasn't going to use smileys/emoticons or chatspeak (such as btw, fyi, etc.) for a whole year.  I'm not sure how well people are taking it.  It would appear as though, they can't always tell that I'm joking.

*sighs* I know emoticons and chatspeak are overused, but I can't help but feel once in a while, they're a clear way of expressing no offense or harm intended.

Here's a youtube video of a song I like:


Don't assail me, but I don't agree with everything in the song.  For example, I don't think it should take one a thousand nights to know God is near.  Because it doesn't.  You know what you know. God says in His Word that He is with you.  And you know that with your mind.  But it may take you a thousand nights to feel that God is near.  However, God does not go by feelings.  When He says He is always with you (provided you are His child), He will indeed be always with you.

As for how near he is to you...
James 4:8a (ESV)
Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you.
I'm thinking on this...

And just so you all know... the weather outside my house is simply beautiful, almost mouth-watering.

I'm gonna help make lunch now.

Blessings,
CJ

    I agree with you - I try to use them sparingly but sometimes they are necessary to replace the nonverbal communication that you get in person. I do tend to deadpan quite a bit though, so I guess people just assume that I'm joking when I don't use smileys. ;-)

      Deadpan - my dict word of the day.

      Well, there are people who survive without them, and I think it best if I learned to use words only to express myself, at least for one year. A strange type of training, you could say. But, I'm glad you agree! I will still make sure, yours have noses, though... hehe.

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...

Friday Funnies III / Phriday Fotos II

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 . I'm the train that takes broken trains on the track to the fixer factory ." ________________________________________________________ Here's an excerpt from Anne of the Island  that makes me laugh every time I read it: [Anne] "You won't say naughty words, or run away on Sundays, or tell falsehoods to cover up your sins?" "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...
