I just saw some really cool animals on the Africam. =) http://video.nationalgeographic.com/video/wildcamafrica/ They're like wart-hog/hippopotamus/mule looking creatures. Very funky.
So... what have I been up to. Well, I've been working, knitting (so fun! I'll have to post my most recent somewhat-accomplishment), spending time at Jen's (as always =D), vegging on the floor in between jobs, eating cream puffs!, walking my dog, attempting to use my brain for Greek, Math, and Biblical studies, trying to figure out what on earth I can give a 15-year-old nephew for his birthday when I'm broke (any suggestions?), chuckling at Mom as she gloats over our new wheel covers (we've been missing one of our wheel covers since we moved here to ID... fits in with the whole hilly-billy/hobo thing, no? Hah, y'all thought those hilly-billy pictures were just for fun! So yeah... Rach just bought a car which came with an extra pair so she gave them to us! Isn't she nice?:D)... and I have a question for you...
Which is harder, in general... obviously certain things would depend... and there would be factors and circumstances, etc, but in general... Doing something you don't want to do? Or not doing something you want to do?
Here are some of my most treasured Bible verses at present:
"As a dream when [one] awaketh; [so], O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image. Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins. So foolish [was] I, and ignorant: I was [as] a beast before thee. Nevertheless I [am] continually with thee: thou hast holden [me] by my right hand. Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me [to] glory. Whom have I in heaven [but thee]? and [there is] none upon earth [that] I desire beside thee. My flesh and my heart faileth: [but] God [is] the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever. For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee. But [it is] good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works." -Psalm 73:20-38
Yes, I copied those from Blue Letter Bible so you get all the brackets and such.
"[Let your] conversation [be] without covetousness; [and be] content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say, The Lord [is] my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me." -Hebrews 13:5&6.
"My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation [is] from him. He only [is] my rock and my salvation: [he is] my defence; I shall not be moved. In God [is] my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, [and] my refuge, [is] in God. Trust in him at all times; [ye] people, pour out your heart before him: God [is] a refuge for us. Selah." -Psalm 62:5-8
And I love the commands and promises in Psalm 37: "Trust in the LORD, and do good... Delight thyself also in the LORD... Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring [it] to pass... Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for Him...For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth."
And the picture of the day... =D
So long!
