"Imagine yourself as a living house. God comes in to rebuild that house. At first, you can understand what he is doing. He is getting the drains right and stopping the leaks in the roof and so on.
You knew that those jobs needed doing and so you are not surprised. But presently he starts knocking the house about in a way that hurts abominably and does not seem to make sense. What on earth is he up to? The explanation is that he is building quite a different house from the one you throught of--throwing out a new wing here, putting on an extra floor there, running up towers, making courtyards.
You thought you were going to be made into a decent little cottage, but he is building up a palace. He intends to come and live in it himself." - C. S. Lewis
good right? how true though. is it any wonder that when we accept Christ into our life that all kinds of craziness takes place. it's gonna be painful because he making us into something so different from what we are now. he's making us beautiful. peaceful. complete. is your heart somewhere that Christ can come and hangout? or is it too crazy? loud and messy? he sits there and you go in and out. no time to rest. good analogy Lewis.
yesterday was a little hard. all kinds of messages comin at me. sometimes it's hard to listen to someone and take the truth they say and leave the other junk behind. it's a lot easier to discount everything they say. it's a challenge.
today i've successfully made a girl cry. and a woman's stomach hurt. it breaks my heart. but it must be done. if teenagers knew the truth about STD's and all the emotional side effects of sex outside of marriage i would have far fewer clients. it's horrible.
my sabbath has been switched to friday which is good i guess. it just means that right now i'm at work. have a wonderful day.

I don't think we'll be able to play in the grass anytime soon. Just the snow. But I'd do that for you. Just like the apple cider icecream garbage.
chipmunk - you're incredible. that's why i can't live without you. i just wish i was back in ohio with you. someday soon. christmas time we'll do on a date with our spoons. and for the record ... i'd play in the snow with you any day. and dig through garbage. - bunny
My favorite part of the whole thing is that they weren't even our spoons.
You're impossible to not miss.
Did that sentence make sense? And I wasn't calling you fat. All I was saying was I miss you.
