Showers, are a waste of my time.
You really can't do anything in a shower but... bathe. And, personally it's not that entertaining. That is a full 7 minutes of my life I could be using doing something else!
Some may argue that I am being unreasonable, that it is disgusting to say that. I mean, I like being clean, but I like being dirty at the same time. Because when I am dirty or sweaty after a good, long run, I feel so accomplished! Maybe it's just me.
But now I think of poor children who rarely get to bathe and think, well, maybe a shower isn't that bad after all.
- I am back to me. Full out Sydney. Take it or leave it. God has definitely been dealing with my heart. The process has been kind of ugly, and I'm not out of the water yet, but I am who God says I am and nothing is going to change that.
- I don't have any deep wisdom right now. Actually, no, I do. But I think it's for me, God meant it for me, and I'm going to tuck it away in my jacket pocket, lined with silk, so I can take it out, and admire it every night as the light grows dim and my eyelids grow heavy. And I will think of what a beautiful gift I have, that God gave me. What a beautiful gift I get to keep.
- I'm going to get selfish in the spirit, like pastor says. Just this one time.
- It's been an interesting weekend. I got kind of lonely not talking to my twin and Twinkie.
- I've been kind of sad with the lack of comments lately. I'm back to that whole:
Dear world, thank you for not hearing me but letting me pour my heart just to feel heard. Sincerely,
Me - Today I was hanging laundry (oodles) and I was like: "well hey! Sydney, pal, what's going on? You could be doing something productive with your laundry-hanging time! Turn that frown upside-down!"
- So I went into my room. Unplugged my i-pod dock (a process that involves moving my bookshelf... sigh) then lugged my i-pod dock to the bathroom, plugged it in, strung the impossibly long cord along the counter and went to Hillsong United. And as I hung the laundry I sang my heart out to every praise and worship song that came on.
- And it was great.
- However, I'm glad God loves us no matter what because as I sang my heart out I was stringing underwear along a wire. Just saying.
- My family is debating which movie to watch tonight and I think I should be a part of this conversation of up-most importance.
- Enough said.
~A&A
"With the arrival of Jesus, the Messiah, that fateful dilemma is resolved. Those who enter into Christ's being-here-for-us no longer have to live under a continuous, low-lying black cloud. A new power is in operation. The Spirit of life in Christ, like a strong wind, has magnificently cleared the air, freeing you from a fated lifetime of brutal tyranny at the hands of sin and death." (Romans 8:1-2)

Dear Sydders,
Here's a comment for you.
Love,

YOUR TWINKIE IS BAAAAAAACCCCKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!
I admire how you can see God every day.
Sometimes it's in our loneliest times that we get to see who we really are. It's in those times that we cry out to God...and though we're alone, we're not, because He's with us. I like comments too! And I don't miss hanging clothes on the line!!!!! I love my dryer!!!! lol
Well, my son wants to watch Nemo...so off I go!
Ingrid :o)
Personally, I love showers! I do my best thinking when i do, it's like standing in a rainstorm minus the lightning =).
And Sydney I can't help but love that line:
"I'm going to tuck it away in my jacket pocket, lined with silk, so I can take it out, and admire it every night as the light grows dim and my eyelids grow heavy." Beautiful.
