oh, to be part of "josie and the pussycats"!
While doing this major project, I tend to fluctuate between thinking, "Oh my goodness, I cannot take ANOTHER whole day at home working on that thing!", and waking up in the morning thinking, "Argh! Argh! Argh!" This morning featured the latter reaction. I calmed down a lot, though, after I read the Bible and prayed. I have this habit of feeling frustrated at the end of the day when I haven't done everything that I set out to do. But I realised that whatever happens in a day is all God's will. A Bible verse that helped me to feel better today was "Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you." (Psalm 55:22). Sometimes, I tend to believe that if I'm worried about something, then at least I'm thinking about the problem and on my way to solving it. But a lot of the time, I don't understand what is happening in my life. But God does, because He has a plan for all of us. So it is really reassuring to read that the Lord will sustain me when I tell Him my worries.
Can I just say, dear readers, what a joy it is to have tiramisu in the fridge? My extended family celebrated my sister's nineteenth birthday on Saturday (though her birthday is actually tomorrow), and my mum made this amazing tiramisu. And fortunately she made too much. So I have been steadily eating my way through it since Saturday night. It makes me feel a bit sickies, though. Another thing that puts a smile on my face is my "Josie and the Pussycats" CD! It rocks- it's cute and girly and punky! And I love any music that makes me laugh (those Du Jour tracks are hilarious). Mind you, I do feel the teensiest bit guilty listening to the CD. Because it's not "real" music- know what I mean? Like, a band didn't have to struggle their way through band comps and garage practices to make the album. Sometimes I feel like I'm listening to a Barbie album when I listen to it. But, oh, who can resist an album that opens with, "I'm a punk-rock prom queen, brown paper magazine, hottest thing you've ever seen, and everything that's in-between"? |
