Trying to Smile on the Day Gone Wrong


A Christian Version of DTR (Defining the Relationship):


1. They say: "I need to unpack some things and reassess my boundaries."

They mean:"I've secretly gone to counseling and learned some new words that are going to make your head hurt. I'm breaking up with you."

2. They say:"I feel that I need to spend more time with God."

They mean:"I feel that I need to spend more time with God and less time with you. I'm breaking up with you."

3. They say: "I think God is calling me into missions."

They mean:"The first place God wants me to visit is a land called 'somwhere you are not.' I'm leaving tonight. I'm breaking up with you."

4. They say:"I think God has gifted me with a life of celibacy."

They mean:"I've just dropped the equivalent of a dating atomic bomb. Good luck with all that. I'm breaking up with you."

5. They say:"I feel like we've grown apart."

They mean:"I represent the word 'grown,' you represent, 'apart,' as in your falling apart. I'm breaking up with you."

These are awesome and from Stuff Christians Like (a site I love, if you didn't already know..). Anything that can make me laugh out loud on a day where everything seems to be going wrong - room booking issues, the never-arriving email, a pointless lecture, revision that just makes me and a camera that has still not arrived and may not be here by the one date I wanted it for - this weekend.
.
Creche was lovely this morning though - babies are so cute! And why is that a text from Rose telling me I'm loved or a postcard from her reminding me to smile always come at the exact second they're most needed? A case of "That's not odd, that's God"?

haha love that website...totally procrastinating, got an exam in 3 hours but i have given up cause its too hard, and i have to draw silly mohrs circles, but i went to work last night instead of going to buy a compass and protractor so im now using an old school method of a bit of string tied on to a pencil, lol i can see people laughing already!!
and im hoping i dont need to pass it to be able to pass the class as a whole, so really hoping that it counts for less than 60% of the overall grade.

anyways...how did the biscuits go down? bet they made your day better, if you hadnt eaten them all already...

when u home next?
