As I was lying awake with a sick baby in the wee hours of the morning, I was thinking about the stale air I was breathing in and out and have been breathing in and out for the past 4 months. Or more. Spring, with your open windows, please come soon! I would gladly trade my frozen toes for a runny nose right now.
Here's another throwback journal entry from my 13 year-old self. It won't help spring come faster, but hopefully it amuses you for the next 15 seconds. :p
"Dear God,
Thank you for giving me some joy. It was great! Just imagine always being joyful!! :) But eventhough Joy seems better, or as good, LOVE IS THE BEST!! Overcome evil with good (+love). Help me to always remember that your always there for me and you always love me <3 <3 Help me to truly find you. Lord help me to care about what you care about because I know I don't and I want to. I have enough faith to ask. Please respect that. Oh and help me to fear you and to be strong and kind, loving, compassionate, not bossy, JUST ALL GOOD STUFF!
Love always,
Amen"
By my use of caps and underlining, I think it's fair to say that I still had a little leftover "joy" when writing this entry. I'm glad that I've come out of the depressing teenage years and learned to be joyful mostly all of the time. I'm also glad that I've improved my spelling and grammar since then.
I definitely still find myself asking God to help me care about what he cares about. But I don't usually demand that he respects me. ;)
Happy Thursday!
