Sooo today my brothers and sisters and I have established two fantastic things:
#1. My sister looks really pretty when she smiles and laughs.
#2. I look like a witch when I laugh. (o.0)
Like I said. Fantastic.
Actually, it's hilarious, I grabbed a hat and she grabbed a broom and my brother (who has this really weird kinda gasping/cackling laugh) said, "I'll be your laugh!" and we then proceeded to laugh our heads off while I tried to ride the broom around and Frank did his laugh on command.
It's okay. I know. Say it. "You guys are weeeeiirrrddd." I completely agree.
School's going well. For once I'm not like, stressed out about school necessarily. I mean, not like I was last year, last year was a nightmare tryna get those 6 stinking credits for Intro to Philosophy and English Comp 2.
Thank God that's over, like gaaahhh haha.
Oh yeah. We're on Day 3 of our Daniel Fast+Media Fast. I don't count this blog as media because it's like a diary entry that the entire world can see, and I don't usually read my blog religiously like I would check my Facebook (yeah, Facebook is being fasted from, and it's already alerted me that I have 10 notifications, 3 group updates, and 21 new messages. WHO IS MESSAGING ME?!?! is kinda on my mind right now, like, whoa guys I'm sorry I shoulda left a note on my status that I wasn't gonna be on it for three weeks, oops). I'm definitely missing meat right now, and trying to figure out what's actually 'sugar' and what isn't (seriously, like, are we counting high fructose corn syrup and sucralose and all that junk that's way worse than sugar? Not gonna freak out if we are or aren't, I just wanna make sure I'm conforming to what the rest of the church is doing so we'll be all nice and unified together) is a bit annoying haha. I'm kind of wondering how many people have already lost like, 5 lbs from just cutting out sugar too. Seriously, if you wanna lose weight, cut sugar outta your diet. My pastor put it this way once, talking about a guy he met who'd lost like, 300 lbs or so in 3 years: "Everybody else was saying yes, but I said no." Profound, right? Just say no to sugar and stick to it. Trust me, if my pastor's nine-year-old daughter can say no to sugar for 3 weeks, you can too.
So yeah. If you got my number and need me, text me. If you don't, I will reply to comments.
My pastor told me something else kind of profound the other day. The situation I'm in will change because I will change. I'll grow up, I'll figure this stuff out, and the situation will change because I've changed. The people in the situations I face may not change, but the situation, on my side at least, will change because I will choose to change. I choose to change myself, use self-control to keep from punching people (yes, I am a Christian, and yes, I've wanted to punch people before because I'm also human and we've all found other humans to be extraordinarily aggravating at one time or another to the point where punching them, while it may not help the problem, would still be quite satisfying), I'm still learning how to forgive and not hold stuff against others, and at the end of the day, it's me and my own behavior and relationship with God that I can work on. If other people change their behavior too, then that's great. I don't need to worry about it. Worrying'll just give me a headache, a stomachache, and unnecessary heartache too.
That was a really long way of saying, I can change, you can change, and the thing you wanna change will change if you choose to change.
You guys are great. Hope this year brings new change, new life, and new hope. Our lives are all stories. In the word of the Doctor, "Make it a good one, eh?" :)
God bless!! Have a great rest of your week!! Love ya!!
