Saturday Post 363

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3303 steps (oh, how come I couldn't have plodded thirty steps more?? 3333 would've been cooler! XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Six Ways Jesus Fought Depression' and thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Fishing Lessons (1) but fourthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and TWENTY MINUTES online after I get home tonight!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 7:20am, when dearest dad very thoughtfully walked along the hallway and unpopped the lock into the garage for OIG mum's imminent leaving for work, and after one pot :P trip I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
• Ten minutes later, PIG mum rushed inside, hit me with the eye goo and bolted off to work. She was hurrying coz she said she was late; don't think she even said good morning! XD After she left, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing  on  my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
• Once dearest dad retucks me back into bed and promises he'll cook sth for my lunch I have an INCREDIBLE snore and don't wake again to use the pot :P again until dearest dad again walks silently along the hallway, this time to unlock the door for Hannah's imminent arrival!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
