it's august!
it's august!
heck yeah!
it's august!
can you tell i'm excited about august!?
flip. it's already here, but it took forever.
it's funny to talk to different people, and get their different perspectives on things like what God's saying, how to respond, and what kind of change that will mean in my life. i have a hard time with that myself---i'm getting better through experience...but i'm still pretty oblivious to God's subtle hints...it takes a week like city.script to hit me in the face before i notice things.
but i'm also easily persuaded---so, when i talk to one person who's more into what God wants me to learn through this summer and how that might change me, i like what i hear...and then when someone who's a lot more practical tells me HELLO you can't afford to do that! money doesn't grow on trees you know! i know this is also true. i'm not giving up on the first perspective. i'd like to find a compromise between the two---only, in my present circumstances that's not possible---i've filled my life up with so much stuff, that any down time i have i want to spend sleeping. it's like i'm waiting for that first step in getting to know God to take itself, because i'm too busy or tired (or probably both) to focus on it myself. i'm waiting and waiting for something huge to happen, something huge and good--because i know that right now is not good...but He's got me here for a reason...so maybe i should make more effort to enjoy right now, or at least make room for learning what He's trying to teach me? maybe that's the first step in bringing that huge good thing to reality.
i just looked at the display on the phone...it's actually still july. i might cry.

become a catholic. then you will learn to dicipline your mind and heart to be at peace with God and to spend more time in prayer. Yup. and it will challenge you in your beliefs and perceptions of the church. yup yup. or so i'm told.
