I'm an INTP, but I really skirt the line between the F and T. When I took the personality test, my preference for Thinking over Feeling was 1%. So I really relate to the clutter and the starting and finishing projects. *looks back to her room* ...Yeah, I REALLY relate to the clutter. >.<

I think the only reason why I'm an INTP and not INFP is because I can be so philosophical and I won't always base my decisions off of feelings. I'll use reason and feeling (because a lot of times my instincts are right).

If only there was a LOL button right next to or above the Like button that would be great.

Thoughts swirling around in my head this morning include, but are not limited to:

I think it's time, once again, to do a thorough de-clutterization of this place- especially if we are to have a house guest for a month.

I wonder how long it would take me to paint the hallway? Could I get it done in the next 3 hours? Would my 2 1/2 year old keep his hands out of it?

Someone should mow the lawn, and as I've been forbidden to touch the lawnmower, that someone is not me.

Any person who cannot hear constructive criticism without going off the deep end over it is only proving how much they need to hear that criticism. Kind of a no-win situation, really.

The deer have begun to use our yard as a bed & breakfast again- yesterday, I startled a doe and two fawns who were hunkered down behind the shed. The doe looked like she was fully prepared to attack. Angry deer are weird to look at.

I'm not sure how my heart will feel when I walk through the doors of my church to go to the visiting hours today. I don't question God on why He decided to call this little blessing home, and I know she's in a better place, but my heart still hurts. I know it's normal, but I guess I find it so odd that I didn't even feel this much pain when my Grandpa died in November. Maybe it's because she was so young, and he was older and suffering. But this is stretching me in every way seemingly possible.

“Sorrow comes in great waves...but rolls over us,
and though it may almost smother us, it leaves us.
And we know that if it is strong, we are stronger,
inasmuch as it passes and we remain.”

so the boss wanted to speak with me today...apparantly my work has been wonderful lately and he wants me to consider applying for a higher position what with the moving and shaking that will soon be going on with the creation of a third department and some people in key positions moving on and/or retiring.

It's nice to hear, but I'm also looking at a job that may be starting up that would reduce me to four days a wek where I currently am, making any posible promotion a moot point.

I also am interviewing for a church musical director position part time.

Things may be changing, or none of these will pan out and it's the ol' status quo. I am trusting the Lord to open/close the appropriate doors and to lead me in the direction I am to go.

A while ago we had a thread about how people assume things about us just because of certain traits we have...Well, I believe I've mentioned on here before about not dating anyone casually. I never have, and even now, over ten years since the first girlfriend I ever had, I just still don't have it in me to just randomly date someone. It might be fine for some people, and I have nothing against it, it just feels weird for me. Anyway, that being said, it comes to my attention at work today that several people are actually starting to really believe that I'm gay...my expression o_O

Now, I know for a fact I'm not gay, and I know I shouldn't let a thing like that get to me, and yet I am. Truth be told it kind of hurts. I don't even know why I'm taking it so personally, but I am....ugh whatever :p

I have to confess that I am quite a selfish person. In friendships, I often take more than give. The problem and where the true sin lies is that a part of me doesn't wish to change and suddenly become selfless. Call it pride, sin, or whatever. A part of me is fine with being an introvert, and not desiring friendships, because then I wouldn't feel obligated to be someone else, I wouldn't feel obligated to try to bond with someone when I don't feel like it. It all seems fake. Honestly, I don't have much of a social life these days and a part of me is fine with that; another part of me thinks that I should want one. Facebook is awful in this respect, statuses and seeing others post pictures of all their friends. I know I shouldn't be jealous because I am choosing this. You need to put effort into friendships to keep them going. No one wants to be in a one-sided friendship.

When we say to ourselves, 'I am a weaker man,' that's when God gives us stength that unbelievably strong, that will do wonders, miraculously so, in our eyes even, I believe, but, ONLY, if we have faith in Him, in His leading, in His strength to change situations that otherwise seem bleak or of despair, of a dreary road that brings us to the edge of wondering if God is there. Let's all pray we don't go that way, for that's, actually, a wide way, that, at first, seems paved with gold and wondrous happiness, that fills our soul, links us with everything that seems good, but is not, at all, that is going to take us from Him, from His wings, from His ways, from His life for us. Oh, yes, Scripture is clear, God will come looking after His sheep. Stay His sheep, then, this says, to me.
That's what Jesus asked of Peter for if Peter loved God...

"Do you love me , Peter?"

Peter, 'Yes, Lord, I love you.'

Jesus: 'Feed My sheep. Tend to my sheep.'

In order for us to love God, we have to attend to others needs this says, it's words from one of the ends of the gospels, I would post it now for you but got to do some work stuff, already been to the veterinarian, the leg was no better after yesterday for my dog so I took her to get x-rays. Diagnosis is a partial tear of the ACL but there is still room for prayer, I appreciate your prayers, it could be a full tear and that would be something to really pray about if you could, that it's not a full tear but too that 'Thy will be done.' It's serious if its a full tear, I think. I've never dealt with things like this before. I don't even know how she hurt herself but she did and the Lord leads. We must take care of it as he leads me. :)
Prayers a lot lately , the Lord's moving in my life in this way, good. I KNOW, that He is there, never will leave me or forsake me and always provides for me. :)

Really streaming the thoughts today, OK, I am doing work stuff while she sleeps from shot that sedated her for x-rays. Then icing the next couple days and praying for God's hand in this, there's a reason for all things, and, they are His reasons, and, if we give God all the glory, it's going to be doing what Scripture says to do. From this, I find joy, God bless you, all :)

I seriously can't remember most of my married days... You could ask me why we got divorced and I could tell you straight out... but I couldn't tell you how or what exactly happened, or where I was on a certain day or month, or who was around me... I forgot...
Kinda glad I did though. Those days aren't really something I want to remember.

I don't think I was cut out for this. I honestly wish I was a different person. The only time I ever lose myself is when I'm with my brother. At least he looks at me and accepts me for who I am, rather then who I can be, who I should be, or what I'm "supposed" to be. There is no judgmental attitude behind his eyes. If only there was a way to just curl up inside myself and just shut down. As much as I'd like to be "Christian" I don't have no real prime examples to follow. As much as I want to be like Christ, I'm just not..

I'm straight up disappointed with myself. I wish I could be like the others who just don't care. Being so self aware, I can actually see the disgusting thing I am. And as much as people try to put a positive spin on who I am. I can't take their compliments or comments seriously. I honestly do want to be different than what I am. I wish I could be fearless, and heroic, and stronger. But, I... *shakes head*

I need a guitar.

Music is very therapeutic, Searching. :) I have been playing guitar for almost seven years now. It's been SO beneficial. Listening to it too is great. :)

I hate missing someone like this. It's by far the worst part of being in a relationship, it's probably the part that hurts the most
