potatoes, gravy, and thermometers



(i googled "God Thermometer" and this is what i got)


I get so frustrated sometimes that I have so many thoughts that circle in my head about one subject, that I end up sitting in silence. Not moving. Not vocalizing what I want to say, because I don't know how to say everything I want to. I am a professional at analyzing every flippin scenario, and angle that something could have. A lot of the times, after observing so much, I don't know what to think. It just gets me more confused. I wish at times, that I could just go with my gut instinct. Hold onto that feeling within and not let my head do all of the talking.

"Cause it's all in my head, I think about it over and over again...."

Onto a positive note: I have the most giving friends I know. They are selfless, encouraging, and prized in my eyes. From coming over to my house late at night when I am out just to clean my room for me, because they know I am stressin. To bringing me a heating pad and meds to work so I don't end up in the fetal position in front of all of Brentwood. To speaking life into me, "Hali, you can't mess up God's plan." To writing me encouraging notes with scripture and leaving them on my bookshelf for me to discover. To simply saying, "I am praying for you."

One more thing. I have recently been hit with the thought of never being satisfied with my relationship with Christ. To be ever persistent in knowing Him. To be ever evolving and growing. To be on a constant line of communication with Him. The Scripture tells us to be hot or cold, but not lukewarm. So if we get to this point where we think we are satisfied with our relationship with God, that would leave us standing still in that satisfaction. But when we stand still the temperature and fire starts to subside and we become lukewarm. But if we keep running forward, and hungering for more knowledge, we will continue to stay in the red zone. Relying on the words written in red.

Now to pop a few more pills and try to remain standing upright the rest of the night.
