Saturday Post 330

 Good evening! Firstly,  today I've been hard @ work plodding 1995 steps (so promise I'll have cracked two grand  before tonight ends XD); secondly, John Piper's daily  devotional topic from last night's "Good News: God's Happy"; thirdly, TWFT topic's Exercise Patience'; and fourthly,  Our Daily  Bread's devotional topic's "A Shepherd's Heart" but and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and FIFTY-FOUR MINUTES online after watching the 6pm  news bulletin!! Anyways, events for today
?

• Huh,  I'd just started an  awesome sleep streak but it ended immediately! >< Never mind, 'twas a sound sleep apart from that~ *sigh*
• After the first daylight 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*
• Daddy Bear and I happily  cuddle  and snore, after another pot :P  trip about one hour later 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. ^^
