Getting into bed tonight and I realized my blankets were all perpendicular to the bed instead of parallel on top. I wonder what I dreamed about that caused me to have the blankets change direction.

My bet is that you were dreaming about tetris. :)


I always seem to get the "Fact, Faith, Feelings" flipped around and it tends to get me in a considerable amount of trouble. I know the facts, I have faith, but yet the feelings end up leading the train too often. >.<

This is nothing new but, I need to move out of my parents' house, seriously. I love them but I think distance will make our relationship a little better.

Nice day, went to mom's , was birthday dinner, sister, significant other, there 3 kids there too, we all went to one of those hibachi grill places, my niece of 3 age wanted to sit by her uncle, I teased her well, kept tapping her on her opposite shoulder and then looking that way as she looked at me. The moment she would look the other way, I would say, 'Made you look. Made you look.' :D

She is quite the girl, OH, that's right, she's 4 now, I get things mixed up, her sister is a beautiful singer, age 7, she just makes up songs as we are driving to restaurant, quite the poetic voice in that niecee of mine.

After hibachi, we went back to mom's place and ate cake and right before we ate the cake, the 7 year old wanted to do a show and she did , singing happy birthday song to uncle and sweetly saying she loved her mom and dad and brother, and, little sister. Then , her little sister wanted to sing uncle a song too so she just got up there and did things and I didn't think of recording my 7 year old niece's nice singing show but I did the younger's and will list it here tomorrow if all goes according to plan :) The Lord leads.
------------------

Inidependence, especially at a young age, especially as a girl, can be something that's hard to understand but going out there by faith and trusting in God will be big news , to God . And, guys do, indeed, like girls who are taking care of themselves, it doesn't matter to most either what they make , they will be willing to take on a girl like that. Following the Lord into a situation like that can be one of the most harrowing experiences of faith a young person will face . But, that kind of growth gets one ready for so much in life and an understanding of Him all the more being known in his/her life :) The Lord leads :) "...you follow Me."

I don't like failing....at anything. I don't think anyone does, but I feel like it really really gets to me when I suddenly step back and realize, "Geez, Cat! That was dumb!" >_<

Another day, another chance. I can only be thankful to God for another opportunity to live. My spiritual life has been boiled down to a grateful whisper and silent moments of reflection.

So as long as we count it all Joy we might learn the first mistake around and not do it again, Becoming wise as a serpent, yet harmless as a dove. Cur out the middle man (emotion) that destroys, and learn from all things how to walk in the Spirit

Maybe it is whatever one is focused on that creates one's feelings of stress or Joy.
So think on this wise, what is pure, perfect and correct, and the feelings will follow as to what one is thinking. So if stress, worry, frustration is trying to get in the way, thank God and believe God that God will someway, somehow get you through then tragedy or tragedies you might be facing and amazingly God does come through everytime, usually at the last minute, which is only testing us to whether we believe God or not

John 16:33
These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

Things are looking up, yet there is always another wave coming to try and overtake us, but in God we believe and will get through period. exercising this Faith and praying in please, please, please is a sign of Doubt.
Where as exercising Faith is saying thank you Lord, and I know I will get through it for you are for me.
See, by belief.

A friend of mine from hs was an artist and didn't even know it. He ended up living near Laredo Texas and had a plot of brush desert under his name. He wasn't a professed born again Christian, but there was always a spirituality about him. Maybe it was just behind his eyes. Maybe it was just the way he was with animals. Anyway, he was out "inspecting" his grande estate and claimed he ran across a fossil bone of a dinosaur if you can believe that. He said he went to excavating and found several other fossil bones and vertebrae. Then he started to piece together this thing into a stegasourus or some kind of saurus thing. Later on, maybe a month later he sent me a picture of his creation.

You want to know the truth? It honestly looked like some kind of dinosaur skeleton laying on his living room floor. All his furniture was pushed back against the wall, a couple of doorways were blocked, clearly you had to step over this thing to get anywhere, but this dinosaur thing was all laid out and all the rocks were fitted together as best as they could be. It truly looked like the skeleton of a dinosaur.

It wasn't one of course. None of those rocks were fossils and even my untrained eye could see they were just old loose scrub desert Texas rock, but by my Lord God in Heaven, it was a masterpiece. It was primative art in its finest form. I recognized its art worthiness like I could have with The Last Supper or The School of Athens and it was just obvious the innocent intent and the kind of naive honesty it had. I don't think I'm explaining this right, but he didn't know any of this. He was honestly putting together a stagasaurus or some such thing and it was there I could see this flash of brilliance where honestly - nothing had existed, nothing. He didn't know any of this.

It was 2 years ago today that he called his brother to come meet him at a parking lot, that he was leaving Texas and had left his girl friend, paid up all his bills and she could figure out what to do with that dump of a house, and it was that day that he sat on the curb of the parking lot and put a gun in his mouth. His brother found him right where he said he was with an envelope of his personal matters.

I never said anything to him about his stupid dinosaur.

Guess I passed out. I had a dream: I was in a car accident, I pulled into this grungy auto shop's parking lot. I dropped to the ground cus i was dizzy and my head hurt. The other driver leaves the parking lot, so I can't take down his info. I walk up to a few of the guys at the shop, explain that I was in an accident, and if they know who that guys name was or if he'll return. Everyone said that they don't know, but one guy said that he'll be back in five minutes. But for some reason I felt as if he was lying. A customer asks me if I am okay, one the employees was like, "oh yeah don't worry about her she's just in shock". I was like, 'shock?! has no one called an ambulance?! Does no one care?!' I was pissed off, so I got back into my car, and drove to see if I could find him by myself. then I said to myself, 'I shouldn't be driving, I am in shock'. And pulled back into the parking lot, I found another employee to help me search the cars for that guy. He asked what happened and i said 'I can't remember, I am in shock'. (Lol). We found that guy and his wife was in his car arguing with him for some reason. I went up to the window, and he gave me a piece of paper that said to meet him here again on Monday. I'm like, "but we are both here now...?"... And I woke up.

^ Analysis of my dream: it was interactions with people that I dislike: people who won't help you when you ask, people that are dismissive and too busy to care, and people that don't understand what it means to use logic lol. It's interesting that I ended up giving up, and disregarding my injuries and took on the label of 'just shocked' when I found out that's what people thought.

I am a forgetful person. I have a praise report that I've been meaning to write. For the past week or so, I was experiencing myoclonic and absence seizures. Thanks for prayers guys. I was laying on my bed, seizing. I put my hand on my head, and prayed that the Holy Spirit would go throughout my body and my brain to calm the storm and correct the firing between the neurons to how it is suppose to be. I continued to pray for a good 20 minutes, mentioning promises of God and certain passages. The storm began to calm and I was able to sleep. Since then, my seizures have reduced. I still get a few upon waking early, but nothing like before. May still have increase my dosage. Thanks to God for helping me when I needed Him.

A couple weeks ago, I Facebook messaged a friend of mine just sharing something God had revealed to me, relating to something we had gone through together (somewhat). She hadn't answered for a while, but I understood because she's currently in another country. Last night she was in a dream of mine, and then this morning she messaged me back. It was weird, that she was in my dream and then today contacted me.

(Sorry for the triple post!)

I went to my Wednesday night Bible study and the host had made brownies. Ghirardelli brownies with Ghirardelli chocolate pieces in them. I had two. The first one was heaven, then I took one home to eat, and it was too much, and now I feel miserable and my head feels funny.
