ALTOGETHER MYSTIFIED....

nope, you didn't misread that ^

what in the world...?? i was asked essentially the same question in two different forms yesterday, and was caught off-guard both times, as i didn't know how to answer. definitely something more than medicinal eye drops is needed here.

i could ask WHY WHY WHY and WHAT WHAT WHAT but i'm sure like everything i would be hitting silence.....shhhhhhho,
i guess i have to tolerate intrigue for a bit longer.

*addendum*
  • TC, thanks for the paper creations, you are TOO sweet! [hugs]
  • CW, way to go! thanks for the invite - i'm glad i was witness to such a huge accomplishment! all the best with your continuation :)

    once again, i shake my head at my own attempts to 'deliver' myself from inadequacy and the madness that is aptly termed STRESS. thanks, Father, for never failing to bring laughter to follow tears, joy to follow the pain at just the right time.

    the past week has been highlighted by iritis (thanks to GH for entirely understanding), phone calls with AMM and my BFF and of course, adventures with a crab shell, unimpressed photographees and side-splitting laughs with my 'elders' :p

    cuz, i miss you tons. come back soon, y'hear? then again, we may meet up this summer on the other side of the ocean, so.... i shall keep you posted! ^_____^

    LK: how do you continually amaze me, surprise me, intrigue me, and make me laugh with just the littlest thing? :]

    man oh man what a weekend! God really does have a sense of humor - the days previous seemed dark and temporarily overstressful, then the weekend was significantly more hope-filled.

  • friday was definitely interesting. a two hour visit turned into much more, including the chance to work on a diorama (found to be difficult as a kid, and still so) and help out a friend. then, of course, there was an amazing discussion time at fellowship that left all extremely impressed.

  • saturday was neat, too. after small group, i received a delightful surprise and was able to see the 95% completed diorama, as well as go gift shopping for the lovely couple and run miscellaneous errands in what seemed like no time at all.

  • sunday the laughs began in sunday school :) then, our church (specifically the English ministry) was blessed with a missions team from alabama, who led us in dynamic, uplifting and reflective worship. afterward, the chopsticks lesson was also entertaining.

    four more days, OF!!!
