almost all the things i learned today:
::i sleep past my alarm much better when i feel the weight of my own down comforter as opposed to someone else's.
::when i turn onto park street, it will have changed 4 names before i turn off of it.
::north holiday hills is off of the same street as International Aid.
::I am very inconsistent when signing my signature "carolyn moeller".
::the trick to creating a contract is making many ways to get out of it if you need to.
::tapanga, from Boy Meets World, does a random commercial for "style". and looks old.
::i forget my phone charger about 50% of the time when i stay at someone's house.
::the going rate for pet groomers in the area is an average of $40.
::it takes about 16 baby wipes to clean up a nasty poo diaper.
::there are plans to put up a Mosque at the 9/11 site in New York.
and that was the most ridiculous, inappropriate thing i learned today.

The Goal
Psalm 77
"I cry aloud to God, aloud to God, and He will hear me. In the day of my trouble I seek the Lord; in the night my hand is stretched out without wearying..."
"Will the Lord spurn forever, and never again be favorable? Has his steadfast love forever ceased? Are His promises at an end for all time?"
"I will remember the deeds of the Lord; yes, I will remember your wonders of old, I will ponder all your work, and meditate on Your mighty deeds."
"Your way O God is Holy."
"What God is great like our God?"
"You are the God who works wonders."
I write this to reinforce it into my mind. To remember the Almighty God I claim to follow. The things I turn over and over in my mind, in perspective of what God is doing in this planet, turn out to be really quite small. The frustrating question at stake...am I being used to my fullest potential for the Lord? Will I ever? Was my preparation in vain? O God forgive me, us, for making You too small in my eyes, or rather, for making myself too large for my life which "is not my own."
We have 1 thing to keep in tact, just 1 thing. 1 thing. Our relationship with Christ. [said many ways.] to "seek first His Kingdom", to "delight ourselves in Him" "to offer up ourselves as a living sacrifice" to "present yourself approved to God" ... God will direct and use our lives from this point. Why are we so petty to think that He wont? Or too proud to think that He will use us the way we think we should be? Perhaps we, I, have skewed the goal.
My favorite D.L. Moody quote is : "The world has yet to see what God can do with and for and through and in and by the man who is fully and wholly consecrated to Him. I will try my utmost to be that man".
My job and goal is to be that [wo]man. I must trust God will use me as He sees fit beyond this commitment. "Commit your way to the Lord. Trust in Him, and He will act." (psalm 37) And what a privilege it is to serve the KING! I pray that I am considered worthy to serve Him, and that I keep that (serving Him) the undefiled goal.
