Sunday Post 604

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2285 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'What It Means To Love Evil'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Are You In A Stress Mess?' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Test Of Our Faith'.  Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night!  Nature had already called once before midnight but then I'd slept soundly until   PIG mum began her usual noisy daily a-THUMPING around and woke me! Actually, I   think I was using the pot :P when she let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help me exceedingly slightly with the tops before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first. While  complying, 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*
• PIG mum comes back to finish with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and both laces, before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom   and brush teeth. That done, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then walk myself slowly   and safely out to   the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Breakfast is one bowl of plain porridge with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with avocado and for some reason the PLATE (not the bread) sprinkled very lightly with salt (no probs; I just lick the plate clean   after I've finished eating XD), 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*
• After breakfast, I walk myself slowly and safely back to the loo, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!

• After washing and drying Era, I climb into the backseat of PIG mum's car and buckle my seatbelt (what I do all day).  PIG mum tootles us off to   church, parking outside the service hall. I hike up the ramp, use the disabled loo once (the seat was up, but   so was the lid and I couldn't be bothered checking were any cubicles in the normal ladies' loo with both lid up   and seat down), washed and dried both hands then grabbed my usual   spot for service.

• Yay I get to stay seated for worship today~ I sing everything I knew plus the harmony for all four songs but like every other week, meant absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh*

• Less than thirty minutes so just super-briefly:

• Speaker was Peter Pie; his sermon was the 2nd from his How to A Christian series and there was communion afterwards~ Aunty May was a sweetheart, whispering should I get the sacraments for you but I whispered back no thanks; not baptised yet.

• Had lunch with dad @ Hungry Jacks: a cheeseburger, small orange juice and twelve chips.

• Looking forward to our once-weekly family dinner out; our last together before dearest dad goes back to   HK for one month!

• Toms:   presumably seeing Ray for some acupuncture and massage, grocery shopping with PIG mum    then coming back home for lunch with dearest dad.

• Have emailed Michelle asking her for this week's TBAs plus the roster for August; next month   arrives Friday!

• Anyways, hopefully bbl,  else wishing everyone a smashing week  ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^
