The Very Moody Day

I'm just in the mood to write something....

I got very frustrated today with busyness! I hate when I do that. There's just been so many places to go and things to do and people to see (very cliche, but it's true....) that it finally all caught up with me this afternoon around 4:30. Ummm....yeah, I was pretty mad for a little while there.

One thing that I noticed the other night while I was reading in I Chronicles was that sometimes I really can get caught up in reading my Bible that the time just starts flying by. And I want to keep reading to find out what happens next but then I know I need to stop because otherwise I'll be in a bad mood at work the next day (seriously, I'm an at least 8 hour sleeper!!!) But these moments are few and far between. Very seldom do I give God the time that He deserves...and I wish I would discipline myself so that I would start reading my Bible like that EVERY single night! I feel like there's so much that I don't know....and there's not enough tme for me to figure it out.....

I am not in control. Man, God makes me keep learning this!! Enter Proverbs 3:5-6. Looking back over my life, I can clearly see how God has had his hand on me the whole time - even when I did't ask Him. It should be so easy to trust Him. Have you ever tried to trick God?? haha....yeah, welcome to my world. Sometimes I actually think I can hide my motives and thoughts from him. But, no, you can't by the way....He's always there...lurking, calling me out on stuff.

I get easily frustrated with other people's stupidity - well yeah, my own too - but I was pumping gas the other day, in a hurry to be somewhere, and the thing just kept asking me questions. Stupid questions - like "Would you like a receipt?" I hate when they ask me that question. Do people really tell the machine no. I guess maybe if they're paying with cash, it wouldn't be necessary. I have passed on going into the store to get my receipt if the machine outside wasn't working. I would just hate to know that we are in a receipt paper shortage.....

I am on Christmas break. That is a wonderful feeling to be half way through the year.

I am going to a dream concert in January - Matchbox 20!! finally I get to see them. I regret all the times I missed seeing them in college (when they played the cheap concerts in G'ville!!)

I love (most of the time) running into friends I haven't seen in a long time. Apparently the place to reunite is at Books a Million. Since Sunday, I've seen 4 friends in there I haven't seen in a couple of years. Pleasant experiences.....yes, i'm in there a good bit. I'm a reader....I'm having breakfast with some old friends of mine in the morning and then heading up to Rock Hill to visit some more amazing friends...which reminds me.....

I probably should roll over and go to sleep now....

Merry Christmas to all.....and to all.....a goodnight!!!!
