Sometimes I just need to learn to shut it. I felt that way twice today, not a good thing. I've said before that I get concerned my personality is too much for guys, but sometimes I think I'm too much for me. My sister says I need to censor myself less, not more, but I don't agree. This is what happens when I go for so many years of holding back and being too shy or concerned with what others think. Now I'm going too far in the opposite direction, almost to make up for it.

Or maybe this is just me. I've always been the exuberant sort. Just yesterday I was looking at some pics of me from when I was little (in age and not just height :D) and I have the most amusing and expressive body language. You can definitely tell when I'm happy in pics and when I'm not. I don't throw a temper tantrum in the unhappy pics, but my face makes it clear.

This is song has been running through my mind today. I've been singing/humming it all day.

Your love is amazing, steady and unchanging
Your love is a mountain, firm beneath my feet
Your love is a mystery, how You gently lift me
When I am surrounded, Your love carries me


Your love is surprising, I can feel it rising
All the joy that's growing deep inside of me
Every time I see You, all Your goodness shines through
And I can feel this God song, rising up in me.

Hallelujah, your love makes me sing.


Hallelujah, you make me sing.



I can't get enough of the song or Him. I can't wait until I am better at the piano so I can sing and play it.

I'm thinking of what I think of speaking German. I think I can sometimes be understandable but then I still make way too many mistakes and I have too thick of an accent compared to the education I've had. I don't want it to have been a waste of time and money to go to a German school for ten years... Like I feel guilty over speaking English either as well or even better. And I feel ashamed of speaking German to natives because they'll know all the mistakes I've made. And what if my parents are ashamed or annoyed about the level I've achieved? I know they know that there are so many who are way better then me. :(

I feel like my relationship with God is getting stronger by the day and feel great about the church I'm going to and that I'm FINALLY getting around to reading the bible and have stuck to it. So in that area I feel good.

But I feel like my life right now is so stagnant and that I'm just living each day to get to the next not really doing much with myself. I work, come home, sit on the internet/clean/watch tv, take care of my dog and that's it. I mean I get out - I see my friends/family, run around the lake, go to church and various midweek church activities sometimes. I really don't have many hobbies or a super active social life. I'm content, but very bored.

About finishing my watercolour painting. I started it last night and spent an hour on it. I'm no more than a fifth done, but it already looks really good. I'm trying out a more realistic style of drawing mixed with anime-ish eyes. It takes a lot of work because shading something realistic looks really good if you put some effort into it.

Sometimes I just dont know what to think about myself. :doh:

You should think that you are wonderful, because you are. If yourself tells you otherwise then tell it to shut its pie hole.

I'm thinking about all these tornado warnings. I'm babysitting till midnight tonight and I'm ready. I've got all the supplies and a place to go with the kids- but to get to it is outside and its basically an overgrown crawl space :( Gross. And I'm having a hard time settling on what my cue will be- hail? Jus the warning? A giant black funnel in the sky?

My mind has been busy all day. One minute I'm thinking about the past and then suddenly it shifts to the future, which is dumb since I have no idea what the future will actually be.

I've also been thinking a bit about me. Am I making a positive difference? Are my friends really my friends or just impostors? Am I worthy? It seems like it's always the heavy stuff that gets me thinking.
