God puts so much life in animals
I can't help but look down at my doggie like he's a little child
Anywhooo
I just got done eating some pizza I made
I didn't sleep last night because I have developed a habit of staying up until 5-6 am every night
I am mostly doing this for training purposes because I want to begin working night shift as I have been applying for positions for the past few days
I have an interview Monday- please send prayers
I am going to take a little napsie and see if I have some energy to make it to church around 9-11 am.
Bai.
Walk by faith and not by sight .woop

Praying for you, Tintin! And may the Lord remind you that He doesn't make mistakes, that you are His child and that He loves you deeply!
He made you just that way you are, and that makes you unique and oh so special!! He has wonderful plans for you!! We just sometimes have a hard time understanding them!! Remain faithfull to Him, and go through this desert knowing that He is by your side at all times, even when we can't sense His presence!!
The Lord lets us go through hard times to forge our character!! May He give you the wisdom you need to learn and understand what He wants you to!
And "em tudo dai graças" (*give thanks in all circumstances)!

woke up early to make zucchini spice cake before church for a bake sale. It's in the oven now and smells delicious.
Though not a morning person by any means, I do understand the attraction of getting up early to read some of the Word, putter around, doing the morning routine of getting ready in an unrushed state before the general hubbub of the day.
But will this change me into a morning person? Heavens no!!!

I had a really good day today
Church was amazing. Then, I got introduced to the folks at the Sound ministry (ones I'll be working with for I dunno how long). They gave me a tour at the backstage of NCC Singapore, where Joseph Prince preaches. It's a really really great opportunity to serve and I'm thankful.
Then I got home and celebrated my friends' friend's (just met her today, really) birthday and we've been eating, playing kiddie games the rest of the day. So many people came (children party themed) and it's 12:35AM now, and we just finished the last bit of the surprise. Birthday girl got emotional and started crying and thanking and hugging us all, even I, even if we just met today lol. It's amazing.
Lord, I stand in awe of Your goodness.

I really like the dude who sometimes guest-pastors at church. He spoke today about how fear can paralyze us and shared his own experiences with panic attacks and social anxiety. He brought up an experience learning to rock climb this summer - how he had to "let go" so that his limbs could get circulation back after being stuck on a difficult climb. Basically, the act of letting go, trusting the rope, knots, harnesses, and others is what enabled him to finish the climb. Having rock climbed a little in the past, I was able to relate to this, which is amazing because my eyes usually glaze over when sports analogies are used in a sermon.
It reminded me also of another illustration we did in a class at my old church. Someone had a balloon bouquet with balloons labeled "joy," "trust," etc. Someone handed him a box labeled "burdens." In grabbing the box, the guy released the balloon bouquet. How often do we do that? How often do we give up our blessings in order to weighed down by burdens?
I like it when I can connect one sermon with another, even from years before at a different denomination. Anyway, today gave me a lot to think about.

Welcome back Shine and Carol!
I'm glad you had fun at the wedding, Shine.

And yeah... I do collect!! If I had more money, I would have a ton more than I do, but I do have all the books (both in Portuguese and in English), and all the movies, I have some figures and statues, I have Sting, Anduril, Legolas twin knives, and now the high elven warrior sword, I got the One Ring in some versions of it (I probably have 5 in all), the Ring of Barahir, and the Evenstar... I still want to get Smaug, Orcrist, Legolas bow and the sword of Thranduil... but all in good time...

Awesome story Catherder!
Praise God
It is amazing how the littlest things can impact a moment in your life so much.
If it's alright...may I share? Lol...perhaps it will sound silly..
Since you are a guy lol but...
Friday eve....at dusk I was just alone on the porch watching the trees and sun. Just at peace....and this hummingbird...just out of nowhere gently fluttered its wing upon the top of my hair and flew away.
For no reason I just started to cry...for like a few minutes.
And I said " Thank you Jesus...that was a beautiful little moment there." Lol
It's all because of Him.
God bless you Catherder
Thank you for sharing what inspires you
