Saturday Post 442

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1461 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's "Church Growth God's Way; thirdly, TWFT topic's "A Father's Blessing (1)"; and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic''s 'Wise Caring' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really owed ONE HOUR and FORTY-ONE MINUTES online after I get home from playing ping pong @ church with dad!! Anyways, events for today?

• Grr! Nature ruined my five-day awesome sleep streak when she suddenly called @ 2:50am. >< *sigh* Never mind, 'twas still a sound sleep otherwise~ 

•  After nature called again when the Sun had risen, following another 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* Actually, since PIG mum’s overseas holidaying, I’m using the time to recharge my mental batteries and prepare for another year with her @ the helm! XD

•  Around 9am I wake for the pot :P once more, give myself fifteen more minutes and then call out to dad will he please help me up? Dad comes and says Sharon will come @ 10am but I tell him I've gotta get outta bed before 9:45am else I'll be back in bed before twelve hours have passed and I'll have wasted the whole day! Dad just tosses me Elf's AFO and says do it yourself. While 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,
Em. ^^
