Saturday Post 473

 Good evening! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2597 steps (ha, I'm just over 2.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's "His Timing's Perfect"; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'The Secret Of Happiness'; thirdly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Taking Responsibility For Words' and fourthly, Joni's devotional topic's "God's Hedge" but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and FORTY-THREE MINUTES online after dinner tonight!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 7:35am 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*
• Nature calls again shortly after 9am when PIG mum's noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs awakes me for another pot :P trip. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help exceedingly with only the bra strap and the tee (since dearest dad's @ home) before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first. Whilst doing so, 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,
