Foggy-Sweaty-Silence-Wisdom

Like the name? Not sure what else to say
I dont like to report my every move to my computer, so I wont tell you that I spent a little time with a girlfriend today
For the life of me, I couldn't find anything positive to say
But she was just overflowing with gratitude and humility and PATIENCE ...
All that, and she's a size 2.
I know..I know.
And that got me thinking (back to the humility and patience part)
about all the ways in which we allow our situation to define us.
We look at this, want to change that, see that person with this, we want it...
I dont think I struggle with envy so much,
I have a great life, so much to be grateful and thankful for...
So why am I not?
My friend had to spell it out for me today
"Get filled up daily"
She said. she even said that she needs to get filled up TWICE a day.
So cool.
So I'm rolling with it. This will probably be my last post for the month,
But I'll call ya in a week and let you know how this little experiment is going

The Challenge: Getting filled up with the Lord, being quiet in and His Presence for ONE WEEk98

I sneezed during the last part of that.

Three Wires

Its been raining a lot today,
It rained right over all my plans
But then I remembered a word that the Lord has been speaking to me
He has given it to me through multiple peoples, in my daily reading, and then (always happens like this) confirmed it through the sermon on Sunday.

"Rest in Me."

BUT LORD I AM RESTING?!
Right?
No, not quite. I think this, like many passages in the Word, is focusing more on the heart of the issue than the surface. Sure, I could kick back and nap all day,
But what would I dream about?
Probably all the worries I've been feeling the past couple weeks

But I don't need to worry, simply cast my cares on Him.

Does that mean I never have any worries ever?
.....
It means I'm sustained by Him, I'm putting my trust in Him, it means I'm dependent on him.
It means I belong to a Shepard who doesn't need my little sheep self looking over His shoulder and checking in. He's got it under control.
I can rest in Him.

I know that we've all heard this, but I think sometimes we need a reminder.
Here it is: Rest In Him.

Identity Crisis Much?

I dislike
That everytime
The conversation
Turns to hair
Everyone's gotta say
"oh michelle, we're never sure what you look like
because your hair keeps changing so much"
Come again?
Just because
From the summer to now
Everyone saw my hair go from
Red
to
Black
to
Short black
to
Blonde
to
Red
to
Reddy-Blonde
does
NOT
mean
I change my hair
CONSTANTLY
If anything, thats a good...
Two-month-per-hairstyle average.
