somethin special

Tomorrow I have a challenge set forth before me. A journey I have never embarked on before. An endless horizon of goodness (I hope) that I have not yet seen. Tomorrow, I will be happy. All day. The moment I wake up, a smile will appear on my face and remain there until I sleep once again. And it will be real. I will be so joyful to start Monday. 

We'll see how this works. 

Also, I would like to note something I learned this lovely weekend-- certain grandmothers do actually like to kill pterodactyls with 357s (even though a 9 mil. would clearly be much more useful).

pink mohawks and burdens

The other day my dad called me. He said he wanted to give Sexy PoPo to my Grandma. I said no- it's not that I don't trust my Grandma with my precious Sex, but that I love to see her little wagging body every time I come home. Also, this summer I have plans to give her a pink mohawk again and teach her how to ride a bicycle.

Anyways, so that night I had a dream that my dad was trying to kill Sexy PoPo. He was drowning her in this trap door in our living room. So when he wasn't around, I ran in there and tried to pull her out. But every time I almost got her out and had a plan to escape, my dad would appear. So eventually, Sex told me that I just had to let it go. So I covered her drenched body up with the trap door and waited until my dad left again. I opened it up an hour later when he left, and she was gone. It was so sad.

I was thinking about this later though, and thought that maybe I had that dream because I was anxious about my dad giving her away (which could definitely be true). But I think maybe my dream had more to it than I thought. A theme in my life in the past two months has been "breaking barriers between me and God". Satan loves to make me feel like my burdens should be kept inside. And everytime I come close to letting it go, he comes back and tears me down again and fills me with fear and doubt. But God wants us to push him away and lay our burdens down in His hands. He wants us to let them go so that we can experience the Freedom that Christ has given us. We aren't slaves of our struggles if we give them to God.

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." Matthew 11:28-30

if there's love, i just wanna have something to do with it...
