Sunday Post 364

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2635 steps; secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'The Power To Profess Christ'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Bring Out The Best In Others' and fourthly, the spam count for the weekend's already fourteen but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed THIRTY MINUTES online after I watch the Broncos play this arvo!! Anyways, events for today?

  • Oh, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "God's Restoring Ways'.
  • Aww, my awesome sleep streak ended last night/this morning @ 12:25am, when my idiot bladder nudged me awake and demanded I use the pot :P for her.
  • PIG mum's daily a-THUMPING around woke me next for another pot :P trip, after which 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*
  • Soon, PIG mum let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help me with only the bra strap and the tee (only coz dad's @ home) before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
  • PIG mum comes back to help with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and both laces, before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom to brush teeth (poor Ela). Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for just one tinkle, coming out when PIG mum demands I get a spoon for breakfast.
  • After noting that down, I do so, before munching breakfast: one bowl of plain porridge with one slice of dry (unbuttered) smeared with some avocado and the tiniest sprinkling of salt, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Over breakfast, 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*
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^
