Redeemed

I just watched a bunch of "Messy Mondays" clips by Blimeycow.  They are so funny and it makes fun of all the stupid things that we do so that we can move on and make more of our lives.  Below it someone had started the typical ragging on Christians for their beliefs and calling us stupid, etc.  So, I wrote this below that and I genuinely mean it.: You know, no one ever really gets their questions answered like below.  It's usually just a way to spew anger.  But I can tell that you do have questions.  You have a right to be angry that things don't always make sense, but learn to express it in a way to help resolve things.  Talk to someone you can trust who believes in God and will tell you why they do, etc, and who will be able to handle you saying, "You know, I'm angry and confused over this stuff and I just want some answers."  Don't be afraid to just ask and be open to new ideas.  This can help open your eyes and bring healing.   ...

Good morning!        Ah ha ha  : )  Now I guess it technically is morning.  These past few days have been kind of whirry and confusing.  I had my first overnight cleaning at the group home on Saturday.  It was good, but my Sunday was pretty confusing.  One of the bathrooms at church was a little dirty and I thought, "Oh no, do I have to clean it?"  Ha ha.           Then there was Monday.  I got to spend it with some wonderful family of mine-- my aunt Christine, cousin Becky, and cousin Livy.  We had a sleepover the night before with my sister there as well.  My cousin was over for part of the evening too, studying Spanish from college!  She bought her first car.  We saw it Monday morning.  What an exciting life change to see in the family, (people buying cars, learning different languages, going to college, etc.)  It was really good to have some quality time hanging out...

Hello, : )  I haven't blogged in a while, although I do have more poems to upload to here than this.  I've been busy w/ working, etc. and I haven't had as much time to cultivate my inner life I guess.  Lord, help me to pursue you even when it's hard because I know that you love me and it is worth it.  Amen! Winds of change  (recent poem): I'm at home, free at last. Calmed I feel today, no too big of responsibilities on my plate. Still many things to do, things to figure out. Always something on the back burner-- now literally, I'm watching the boiling chick peas. I gotta get another job-- again. It's frustrating, but I'm getting used to it. I gotta get in line with how the world works. But Lord, don't let me settle. Let me be in love with your love and be filled to the full. I don't want to fall for this world, but for you. I'm looking forward to the Fourth of July. Things change. As the world spins, may I spin wit...
