Waiting

The theme for this week for me is Waiting. I don't usually have themes every week but this one seemed to sneak up on me without me wanting it to.

Mom threw a skinny book on my lap on Tuesday. I read it in half an hour because it's only about 50- pages long. We were sitting in church and she hands me this and tells me how good it is. I'm totally skeptical because these christian books are always damn corny and never really tell me anything I don't already know. But I was bored and the preacher that was speaking at the moment wasn't capturing my attention anyway.
So, I read it.

I never thought a small little thing of a book would make me laugh, think and wonder all in half an hour. I need to be reminded to not forget that I am christian and sometimes routine and life just distracts me. Now, don't get me wrong it's not like it's a duty for me to be christian and i have to do it. I don't. It's my choice. It has build my life to be what i am today. Without it i don't know where I'll be. I know, I know, I can be a bit perverted and ridiculously obsessive with stupid actors I watch on TV lol! So sue me. It's all for the fun of it anyway and I never take any of that too serious. Sometimes i don't talk about this to my friends because i don't think they'll ever understand where I'm coming from or might think I'm completely nuts for being a Jesus follower. LOL! I always feel like i might scare people away with my "Honk if you love Jesus" bumper sticker. But I assure you, I'm genuine and would never ruin my car with a bumper sticker like that lmao! If people think I'm nuts then millions of other people in the world are also nuts...all of us together...at once. :-)

But yes, this book reminds me again of why i love it. I don't like the fact that it entails that i need to wait on certain things in my life to happen. I hate waiting. Who the heck likes to wait? When things do not happen the way you think they should in your life you freak out and get angry. I didn't like reading this book and having it tell me that, nevertheless i understand. I know i have to be patient and wait on God to provide. But man does it suck!

I love this quote: (Yes, my hand writing)

LOL! So true. We live in fast mode and want things to get done now when God's gonna do things at His own pace anyway. He's chillin' while we freak.

To continue the "waiting theme" ridiculousness, my sister sends me a link to a song in Español about...you guessed it....waiting. *rolls eyes* I'm sick of this shit. Enough with the signs already! What am i supposed to be waiting for anyway?

Something, it has to be something. Yet i don't wanna find out what it is because once i do I'll get desperate to have it. So like Jesus, I'mma chill. LOL!

It's true what the book says: "Waiting is the hardest thing in Hope".

The End.
