whoa, it's march!!!

whatever happened to the time...

tomorrow is my last day of spring break. hmmm. looking back on the week, i've realized i've wasted a ton of time on facebook. i broke one of my fb rules: no adding old school friends. fb was supposed to be a way to keep in contact with church friends, since i don't live in the same area as them. it was kinda fun going over old times, but now it's old and i am sorta annoyed with one of them in particular, esp since he keeps writing "oh god!" and sending me beer apps. ugh!!!! then i'm annoyed with myself because i'm being mean. will i ever win?! it's my own dumb fault... i just wanted to send him a "hi" message, not have him add me to his friends list. goodness, i am a right idiot..

yesterday i ate about a vat of guacamole since i adore it. and because i could. it's spring break!!! can you tell there's some serious remorse goin' on here? yeah, there is.

also, i've come to terms with my boring-ness. who really cares what i did this week? or what i ate? oh dear, i'm emo!!! actually, i think "emo" is out, it's called something else now.. whatever.

so i hope for all y'all that have not wasted their spring break, i call out to you.... please do something meaningful and memorable! hopefully mostly meaningful! the Lord's blessings upon you and your family today.

the other night 'round 1am or so i was still awake from the humidifier rumbling tidily in my room. i wanted to fling the bedcovers off and raid the fridge for something sumptuous to snack on. unfortunately for me, there was nothing in the house to eat except some wisconsin cheeseman cheese spread from last year and a bunch of dried-up green onions. also, i was as sick as a dog, so i wasn't about to go anywhere.

since i had this time to ponder the deeper meaning of life, i was thinking about food. yes, food. i was thinking up huge gourmet menus for about another hour when i realized i wouldn't be tasting any of these things (tastebuds still outta commission), why in the world was i longing for food? i really miss enjoying a great meal, flavors melding together in my mouth. mmmmm..

okay, focus. so then i thought about wanting other things, like furniture without marker murals on them, unstained carpet. but even if i got those things, i know other wants would take their place. well then, how about perfect lilly blossoms in late summer, sparkling dew on grass first thing in the morn. those don't last either. this took me to, "what am i really longing for?"

i think i am longing for eden, as randy alcorn has said. all these things on earth, beautiful and enjoyable as they may be, are just a faded, dog-eared copy of what awaits me. God gives us the gift of freshly baked bread, witnessing a baby's first yawn, and listening to a lovely song, but ultimately His greatest gift truly is His son, whom our loving Father has given us to hold our hand through this life, into eternity.

who knew midnight munchies could remind me of Jesus?

i shall rejoice in all the good things the LORD my God has given to me and my household!       Deuteronomy 26:11 (para)
