singleness...

this sunday in sunday school we talked about singleness and how we use the time we have as single women.

from I Kissed Dating Goodbye:

1. the right thing at the wrong time is the wrong thing.

*are we using this time of singleness to prepare our selves to be a godly spouse or pretending with dating relationships?

2. you don't need to shop for what you can't afford.

*just because something is good for you doesn't mean it's good for you right now.

3. any season of singleness is a gift from God.

*God does not give us something that is not good for us

soooooo.... WHILE WE SINGLE GIRLS ARE WAITING; practice:

-intimacy in other relationships, like family, friends, etc.

-seeking God with others. ie. girl friends.

- financial responsibility

- parenthood-----this means KNOW HOW TO CHANGE A DIAPER.

- practical life skills

we need to be content with the time of singleness that we have.......possibly that's easier said then done. but we can at least try, and ask God to help to help us with this.

BLOT # 2,4,5,6

Hey ya'll!

BLOT #2:

ok so i have come up with a new word.

well, not so much a new word as i have come up with a new meaning for a word.

blot.

not the most creative word in the dictionary.

usually referring to a smudge or as www.dictionary.com says "a spot or stain, especially of ink on paper. " or "a blemish on a person's character or reputation: He had been haunted by a blot on his past."

i have come up with yet another meaning, but i consider it as a combination of words.

you can consider it a "blogger" word if you like. i think of the word "blog" and "thought" could be mushed together to make the word "blot", meaning "blog thought".

get it?

got it?

good. :)



BLOT #4:

i was at this really awesome bible study yesterday. we have been going through the book of first john, but yesterday we decided to stray away for a week and talk about "quiet times" and "daily devotionals".

Erin, our teacher, made a good point about a quiet time. she put it as

" a quiet time is like exercise.

once you start trying to do it regularly. you have to push yourself.

you have to make yourself get up early, if that's not something you already do.

it may take a week, two weeks, or a month (or longer) before it becomes something you do naturally.

sometimes you get to a point were you just stop doing it regularly (i.e. quiet time, or exercise).

after a few days, you definitely start to feel the wear and tear of not doing it.

if this continues, you end up in a rut and not doing it becomes normal once again.

then you have to start back over."

what do you think?


BLOT #5:

i was in math class yesterday, learning about imaginary numbers. after something my teacher said, this thought or "blot" popped into my head.

why the heck are there imaginary numbers?

it seems that those mathematicians, from back in the day,

decided they had had enough of "real numbers".

they must have all gotten together and schemed,

what they thought was, a brilliant plan.

"lets make up some new numbers," they schemed. "but they won't be more real numbers. oh no. they will be something better. imaginary numbers."

(keep in mind that this is fictional dialogue. i have no earthly idea whether or not this is what the mathematicians-from-back-in-the-day actually said.)

so my response to the above fictional dialogue is:

"sure. go ahead and come up with imaginary numbers.

we had imaginary friends as a kid,

so why not have imaginary numbers to go with the imaginary friends we lost?"

(also: keep in mind that i am not dissing the mathematicians-from-back-in-the-day, i just don't appreciate imaginary numbers)
