Here's my philosophy on the thing, if you're going to go under the knife to get boobs, get em big enough that you won't want to go do them again. A nice D is perfect (my wife is a 34 D and they are spectacular! )
We can talk ourselves into defeat or we can talk ourselves into victory - we are creatures of our thinking.
3/31/07 - Hit with a brick, leaving the dent there...
Stay out of his way so I don't get my head bit off? A worthy goal, I'd say. His knee still hurts, yes? And the inactivity is making him snippy, if men get snippy.... Seriously, I was over on Sunday. He had asked me to go through D11's closet. I ended up cleaning that, her dresser drawers and the rest of her room, too. They'll both appreciate that, but they might never say anything. They were on the back porch and sometimes I just feel so completely out of the loop and not part of things.... Anyway, I had my purse and my Dr. Pepper and went out back to tell them I was done and leave. H asked where I was off to. I said "back to the apartment" and then I asked him if he wanted to ride with me to Durham this Saturday. I'm picking up S14 between here and my Dad's house in SC. H's brother lives in Durham so I thought we could stop and see him (this had previously been mentioned Friday night and he acted like it was a great idea)...but he acted as if it was just too far away to plan..."I'll have to see what's going on this week". Don't panic. He is being very cautious. Um okay, NOTHING is going on that couldn't wait a day but whatever.
I haven't talked to him since Sunday. It's only Tuesday.... I'm getting all fleshy and menstrual and that never leads anywhere good so I've just been quiet. Quiet is good. The two steps forward and three steps back thing is getting on my nerves. I think we will say it is three forward and two back, we'd like to think you'll get the in the end. And I think it looks hopeful as long as someone doesn't get impatient again! I'm not bitching or whining, I'm just losing my focus. I'd hate to see it if you were....(kidding there, you sound good for being a bit down... I've been alone since pretty much since last Wednesday and it's starting to irk me. You were not alone at the ho down. Accentuate the positive, as they say. (B is good! ) But thanks for asking .
I know you know this stuff, and way better than I do. I'd just hate to see you take another detour! Though it's interesting (like seeing a wreck) to watch!
(Numbers 23:19) - "God is not a man that He should lie, nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do it? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?"
His Word is forever settled and sure. God CANNOT lie. What He say He will do, He will do. God is faithful and true to His Word. Today we have a hard time grasping this concept of being faithful and true to our word. We have several documents all notarized and sealed and we have several lawyers review these papers to write lawsuits to determine what the word is. But God's Word is sure and settled. When He swears, He swears by HIMSELF.
Hebrews 6:13, "For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he swear by himself." God Upholds His Promises By Himself. Hebrews 6:13-20
Before Abram's name was changed to Abraham, God made a covenant with him that Abraham would be the father of many children. Abram was instructed to take several animals and lay them out on the ground and God passed through them. This was a figure of God stating this: may this happen to Me if I break My oath. God's commitment to His Word was understood by Abram. God's honor was at stake.
Hebrews 6:17-20, "Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath: That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which entereth into that within the veil; Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. "
God proves His Word by His oath. God desires to show us His desires. God's mind is fixed and unalterable. His mind does not change. God does not change, unlike people, people change all the time. How do we understand something that does not change? How can we understand God who is constant and never changes. As believers we understand this through faith, and faith leads us to our eternal hope. This hope is enduring.
Hope in Christ is a sure anchor to our souls. It holds us steady in the storms of life. When a ship drops anchor in a storm its position does not change. As believers our position in Christ is sure because it is dependent only upon the person and work of Jesus Christ.
Hard times cause us to question our faith and hope. We may cry just as David did in Psalm 13, "How long O Lord will you forget me?" The Hebrew Writer is appealing to the facts so that we may be comforted.
Be encouraged and know that God has you in mind. Yes, you. He has not forgotten you. God's honor is at stake. Jesus placed His life on the line for you. God does not change. God expects us to be faithful. He expects us to trust Him even when things are going the opposite direction.
Look to His Word for it never changes. Lord we confess that we are weak and do not understand what You desire. Our lips and hearts may murmur against You, but we ask You this day for forgiveness. Forgive us and grant us faith to hold to Your anchor – Your sure Word. Guide us today so that we may be faithful to You and trust You, knowing that You never fail. Knowing that you've never lost a battle. Knowing that we will come out as victors and not victims.
