Streams of Consciousness & Thoughts~~~

cold out tonight. Walking home from the bus stop, I heard a hoarse 'meow' at the door of someones home. Lights were out. Cat must have been out for hours based upon the meow. Went home. Braved the looks of ridicule and half-smirks at me from my stupid roommates as I warmed up my heating pad and put it in my furry throw, knowing full well I won't get them back. I ventured out, put the warm bundle by the door and coaxed that cat to trust me enough to follow my hand to step onto the blanket and notice the warmth. I walked home hoping it will help. Stepped in the house, roommates stared, noticed my empty hands. I know you've been talking about me behind my back. Go to my room. Giggles ensue. Screw you. If I were ever to get sainthood, I would be known as Saint Nicky. The Saint of Cats.

For many people, grace can be a hard thing to grasp since we're not use to it much in our world. It can be quite a foreign concept. Most often in this world, you have to work, prove yourself worthy, impress- like you said. It's just a testament to the Love of God and His character. As well as what separates is from other religions of the world, none have the concept of grace. I hope that God will settle your heart and conscience to accept His gift, and to help you from falling into old habits of works.

Thank you Arwen. As you mentioned it is a foreign concept and we're all taught to live to impress everyone. I've been learning allot about grace over the past couple months, so maybe this is the devil's way of trying to get me to doubt it.

No matter how hard we try, there is nothing we can do that will impress God or even just be worthy of His honor..

All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags
(Isaiah 64:6 NIV)



The only thing that makes us worthy of God's grace is the sacrifice that Christ made on the cross..

We have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
(Hebrews 10:10 NIV)

Thanks Zero. Sometimes we have to be reminded of the very foundation of our faith, that we have nothing to offer, even what we consider good works is still garbage. After reading your post I read Ephesians 2: 8-9, and that is what I needed. God is good.

If anyone needs an encouraging word tonight/today:

There is a window in your heart through which you can see God. Once upon a time that window was clear. Your view of God was crisp. You could see God as vividly as you could see a valley or hillside. Then, suddenly, the window cracked. A pebble broke the window. A pebble of pain. And suddenly God was not easy to see. The view that had been crisped changed. You were puzzled. God wouldn't allow something like this to happen, would he? When you can't see Him, trust Him...Jesus is closer than you've ever dreamed.

Yes, I think you would.

My phone was acting up with loading this page, so everyone on this page had a Canada flag above and below their name. Figured people all changed the avatar or suddenly decided to move XD

 

[wisebeardman]

O Canada!
Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!
From far and wide,
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee

Candy Anyone?

Candy Anyone?

Mom taught me not to take candy from strangers, and you are as strange as they come . Deciding to travel with a bunch of strangers I don't meet in person until we get to the airport, that's another story.

Hey now, I take top honors in being strange and weird..lol.. though JesusLives runs a very close second place..lol.. jk Darlene

 

[JesusLives]

Strange, different and weird is my specialty, Blonds got it all going on and add ditzy we do have more fun you know. I certainly enjoy life as I am fluffy not stuffy. Definitely an acquired taste that some can't stomach....Others love me to death...although I am still breathing for now anyway......So thanks for the strange and weird award......I personally enjoy this classification......of distinction.

Move over Blue LadyBug......I may have earned top honors with this award.....lol

Work called me in to work tonight, HA! Nope. Find someone else. I need my day off.

GOOD BOUNDARIES....THREE GOLD STARS FOR YOUR STICKER CHART!

I don't know how it happened, but suddenly I found myself reading poetry. And it's not that I dislike poetry, but that after reading dozens of poems about different things, my brain is swirling around and around and my eyes are swimming and I think maybe I actually dislike poetry.

At any rate, I know I don't like Robert Frost, yet for the first time ever, I like this poem. Except, I don't really like it, it's more that it struck me as meaning something. For once. Ugh.

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Stay Golden Pony Girl!

It's all morning and junk...I think I sleep standing on my head, judging by the way my neck feels.
Woke up to a bright light shining in my eye. And now I think of it, I wasn't standing on my head.
The baby is throwing Cheerios. Can't say I blame her. I should've given her toast. She woke up singing.
It's a good morning, I think. Any morning I wake up is bound to be good. Yes? Yes.
It's Play-Doh time.

Parenting. Worst pay, best benefits package. A great job title to hold, though few are sufficiently impressed when they see it on a resume.

MissChris' post fit well in the "Streams of Consciousness & Thoughts" thread though. Stream of consciousness, loud and clear.

And about waking up singing... ever wake up giggling? I don't remember what I dreamed, but it must have been hilarious.

 

[Jullianna]

JesusLives: Can I just say how wise, witty and beautiful you seem to me?
MissCris: When are you gonna write that book, girl? You make me smile.
Charcoal: Your children are truly blessed.

My Avs laid down a 5-0 victory last night, and I'm the only one at work today in our department. Today is going to be glorious.
