IBL 6

Sorry, I didn't blog yesterday... Sundays don't seem to yield much time for reflective composition sessions...

but... the week has started and I'm excited!

YYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. *pumps her arms and hands up in the air with enthusiasm and excitement*
MY RUNNING PARTNER GOES TO CHURCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So, at least, she's sorta Christian, but I'll have to judge her by her fruit... which I'm sure she'll judge me by mine, too.
And you won't believe it, but! BUT!
SHE'S ALSO A HEALTH FREAK!!!! HOW COOL IS THAT?!?  And she also has 2 sisters!!  I'm not sure of the sibling ranking... but from her writing, I can tell she thinks a lot like I do, so, she very well might be the oldest of 3, just like me!! Haha - this is so awesome and crazy!  I'm so thankful to my GRACIOUS God!!  

I'd been feeling very burdened by how I would witness to students over the course of 9 months and I was at a loss as to how to present the Gospel to adults.  Hey, I have no problem sharing with middle school and under now, but adults?! *trembles* Never ever done it.  And yes, it's a shame that I'm scared.  I feel like it's a huge responsibility if I can't win them to Christ, because I really want them to partake of the abundance of living in Christ and of course, not enter the horrors and pain of hell.

And... I finished reading Mastery by George Leonard today... all the way from chapter 1.  There's a lot of Tai-Qi, New Age, blah blah stuff in the back that I had to skip.  And I felt like my brain was bursting with too much information.  I'll probably read it again tomorrow to let it really sink in.  Like I said in my first "review", it's SO closely aligned with the way my mother trained me, it's just insane.  Of course, my mother's method has been enhanced with a Biblical perspective, but wow, the technicality and psychology of the reality was like it read my 13 year path mastering piano.  I am no master, but I'm on the path!  Well, sorta... I've put it on hold for a few months and I need to kick up my practice up a couple notches.  I'll

Oh, I have a call with my running partner tomorrow at 9:30am... nervous a little, but excited.  It's probably the first time I've been excited to meet a new person that I barely know.  It's weird, I think my introvertedness is slowly dying.   I'm far from expert extrovert status, but I'm significantly less shy than I was a decade ago.

EEEww... I'm TWO decades old.  I need to hurry and do everything.  Time is slipping through my fingers and I only have one life to live for Christ!

And... I'm off to play piano before the night matures any older.  I really need to do better setting more time aside to write longhand.

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...
