You know what's the best thing I found out today? We start holidays a week before the school kids! I have the house all to myself for a week! This could either be really good, or really bad. We shall see. ^_^
You know when you get the feeling that you should do something completely irrational and your brain's going 'YOU FOOL, what are you thinking?!', but you do it anyway and then go 'Ohhh... I get it.'. I had one of those moments today. My boss told me to put my hair up last time I did kitchen and I was 90% sure that I was going to be put on kitchen duty again today... AND ran out of the house sans hairtie this morning. Now normally I have one of my phone, one on my water bottle, one of my hairbrush and a couple on my wrist/fingers. Today, I couldn't find a single one. So I'm going 'Crap. Crap crap crappity crap.'... then in Focus, I come up with a brilliant idea -- go home and get one so I won't get in trouble. So I sit there going 'Von, you're going to leave Focus early... to get a hairtie?'. But I leave anyway, and on the way out, I see a dear friend in tears. THIS is why I had to leave early. THIS is why I forgot all my hairties this morning. THIS is why I angsted over a hairtie today. Thank you, God, for creating Vons this vain.
I missed the bus, by the way, and got to work at the normal time I would have if I'd stayed for all of Focus... sans hairtie. Luckily a canteen lady was there and gave me a rubber band. (You know the thing Von has about tying her hair up with a rubber band -- hates it. Absolutely hates it. Says it hurts and wrecks her hair. Which it does.) And so all was good.
Anyway... I think I know why we happened to study the Good Samaritan yesterday. Thank you, Gen, for being radical and inspiring me! ^_______________________^ Yay for bible studies!Labels: bible, chilli, focus, holidays, work |

O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water. I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory. Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you. I will praise you as long as I live, in your name I will lift up my hands
