Normally, I blog here only when I have something to say well. Tonight, I'm here to say, "Out with normal." Sometimes there are things I'd like to say, and I'd like not to worry about necessarily saying them "well."
So, here begins my first time saying a few things outside of my own standards.
Since am I so partial to making lists in nearly every area of my life, why should I let bloggerland be any different?
Things to say:
1. This week was most ridiculous. Nearly every day was exhausting, to the point of deep discouragement and heart break in a couple of cases.
2. I complained a LOT this week. (Anyone know exactly how much a 'lot' is? I often wonder.)
3. This morning, I ventured out quite early to pick up a few things at Walgreen's. (For the record, 8:30 is quite early on a Saturday.) On my way home, bored with the usual radio station, and too lazy to plug in my iPod for the 4 minute drive, I landed on a new frequency. I have no idea what the station was, who was speaking, or to whom he was speaking. I do know this though: I needed to hear the 2 minutes that I heard. The reminder I received: God is good. Even in the midst of the Apostle Paul's most dire situations, he continually gave God the glory. He didn't spend much time complaining in his epistles. He may explain his current situation, but even at that, he quickly gets to his purpose for the folks he addresses. And his overwhelming purpose was to glorify His Creator.
4. Lesson for the week: Sometimes life stinks. Always God is good.
And that's all she's writing tonight, folks. Enjoy your weekend.
