It's exhausting trying to always be happy and pretending that everything is ok. It's not ok.
And no one I'm around all day, every day cares at all.
This can't be the way it's supposed to be, right?
This isn't what this is supposed to feel like, right?

writing it all out.
ok. so i suck.
maybe once a week is a better goal for me to have. though i would have screwed that one over last week too. ;)
even still though, i'm blogging at this moment! :D
so for the last week or so, i've been writing out of my Bible. yep. writing it out. by hand. it's actually been pretty cool. i was going to do the book of james, but i was reminded of how much i really love the book of colossians. my favorite part is chapter three. which is what i'll be writing tonight. i think that i've probably read the entire book of colossians at some point, but i don't know that i've ever studied it in depth.
i take that back. at Passion07 we did an inductive study on colossians each morning in our family/community groups. but i was going through a whole lot at the time and i don't think i really absorbed much of it.
so, it's been good for me to be writing it out and having to think about it more as i do so.
it's also been good because this has gotten me into The Word. my quiet times are pretty much nonexistent, so this is a good way for me to actually BE in the word. i'm developing more of a habit with that than i have with anything else that i've done in a while. you've got to start somewhere, right?
even though i'm not reading as much as i should be for the whole "discipleship plan" that i'm on, and i'm not praying as much as the plan says i should be, i'm still spending more time studying and listening to God than i was before. i'm doing more to seek Him than i was before this whole thing started. so i think that's good.
i've actually only written for three nights, but the nights i missed writing, i really did miss that time. i'm starting chapter three tonight. it's not taking as long as i thought it would, so i think i'm going to repeat colossians at least once, maybe more, before i move on to another book. :)
well, i was going to write out some of the thoughts i've had while writing out colossians, but i'd rather skip that for now and actually write for a while. :)
maybe tomorrow.;)
oh, and if you've never checked this website out, do yourself a favor and click on over to rainymood.com. SO GOOD! :)
