Awake

Alessio called me on the cell. My personal one that I had on vibrate. Then he asked me if I "kicked her out of bed yet". Silly guy.

Morning is starting off well. Polli is asleep on my floor right now. He bought me some Pokki/Pocky when he came over (hella late) last night after work *grumble grumble*; it's just as well, I was slipping into consciousness anyway as my roommates were wondering what happened to me as they'd not heard a single peep all afternoon.

My head was hurting earlier, so I had myself a little prayer and took a nap. I stayed there for most of the day. I got some things down that I needed to do today (made that list before napping because I was done for Wednesday) before that nap. I woke up a few times every couple of hours or so, but I needed it.

However, of course, that meant I was up at 2AM. Lying there, awake. I left the computer on the desk and decide to open up my Bible app instead and just stay still. I heard everything that was happening. People going to the bathroom, and outside, and downstairs, and back to bed. I read Psalm 37 as Miranda suggested.

Speaking of things Miranda suggested, she also suggested I make a video about something about church people that breaks my heart. We're so... mean to each other. I'll never understand that. Jesus makes it pretty clear that the biggest defining mark of His disciples is that we love - love, not like, not tolerate - love each other and it's the last thing we want to do ESPECIALLY when someone gets caught in a media storm for doing x, y, or z. Maybe I'll make that vid. If I do, I'll post it and let you know.

I was talking to Sanquan about the last few days and he was saying that he hopes the experience continues. I think it's because he sees that it makes me happy. What I had to explain, though, was that this scares me a little. I know God well enough to know that this is how He lures me in. There's somewhere He taking me and only He knows where this is and that's the part that I wonder about in the back of my head.

Have you ever had a friend just tell you to get in their car and they say, "let's ride"?
"Where to?"
"It's a surprise, don't worry about it."
"Seriously, though, where are we going?"
"I got it, don't worry about it..."
"This is making me kind of nervous..."
"You'll love it, I promise..."

'Taku.....

Other than that, today I'm going to -- at the bare minimum:
  • finish this mobile course (bleh)
  • sort this video hosting service thing (bleh)
  • work on some php and database lessons (yay)
I have other things I can do, but these are most important... well, that and getting this rather unhealthy, but oh-so-yummy McGriddle that I'm about to get up out of here and go buy (holla!).

Oh yeah, about that SM break I've been taking. You'd be surprised how easy it is to ignore after the first few days of having to stop typing the address or opening apps out of habit when you're bored (first two or three days for me). Maybe I'll have some "welcome back" messages when I return, but more than likely everyone will have been too busy to notice where I went lol.

It's okay, though.
