splagchnizomai

this is one thing from city/script that i keep coming back to: splagchnizomai. the word is greek (haha, i think!). it refers to guts being wrenched... of course i mean with emotions. (just throw a wrench in my gut why doncha)
...our modern phrase would be 'i'm sad: my heart is broken!' while back in Jesus' time, emotions were related to gut feelings. like here, in mark1 pg3 ln13: Jesus heals a leper. 'moved with pity' he stretches out his hand and touches him---the word here is splagchnizomai-->gut-wrenching.

i haven't been tagged with the shiver song list (that's ok! i don't mind!) but i don't know if i could come up with shiver songs. i kinda have splagchnizomai songs---not so much the specific emotion, like pity, just the gutwrenchingness. like fif's every new day---shivers and SO much more! and...hahaha i can' t make a list of songs now. way too many off the top of my head.
songs, and so much more. moments in song (cottage campfire, singing with dalia!), colours, a hug from a good friend, pulling a monster thistle all the way out root and all with my bare hands...imagining what cool things God has in store for the future ('little' things like what my house will look like, if i'll ever have kids someday and what they'll be like, WHO am i gonna fall in love with!?)---so many more splagchnizomai moments! (hopefully not all of the thistle variety, they might get old)

anyways despite any splagchnizomai-ish down moments, there's still a lot more reasons to be thankful...

ok there's my self-pep talk for tonight. and this weekend is more splagchnizomai in a good way: back up to camp for precamp! yaaaah. and then more hanging out, and church for the first time in a while (i've missed a lot lately...for various reasons...)

ok gotta finish packing. have a good weekend!
