It's hard for me to depict what I am good at and should pursue and what I am not. To avoid sounding selfish, I mean saying one thing and being something entirely different.
Example: Telling someone I have an excellent memory. Just tell me your phone number and I'll remember.
Result: They tell me the number, and I stare as dumbfounded as a cow looking at an oncoming train, and ask embarrassingly for a piece of paper to write the phone number down.
I think it's God's little lessons for me to never lean on my own understanding. I asked him to keep me on a tight chain, and so far he's doing a pretty good job.
Even if I do look, a bit, like an idiot.
It's harder still to think on a single subject without getting distracted.
Well I suppose this is normal, but be still my soul! I can't even keep a calendar on my iTouch or cell phone, let alone a real calendar. ON PAPER. *crescendo*
But anywho, that's all the whining I'll do today. Yesterday was Tuesday, and that means Volleyball Night! I can't tell you how much I enjoy every Sunday and Tuesday now. The new friends I've met through Wizard of Oz are so refreshing to be around. It's so exciting to meet people who, upon first impression, aren't soaked in apathy and heated with rebellion.
It's hilarious now that I think about it. Not everyone is like that. I just happened to stumble upon a very large group of folks who have been beaten down by something and cannot enjoy life in it's truest, simplest, purest form. Throwing a ball back in forth, laughing while sitting beneath the shade, opening up and talking about life, swimming, organizing an activity, meeting with an old friend, enjoying the other's company. All while avoiding innuendos, "your mom" and "that's what she said" jokes (only when appropriate), drugs, alcohol, and identity crisis'. Everyone goes through a phase like that. Some call it teenage angst. I call it... high school. I've learned that a variety of people are out there. Never exclude any one personality just because it seems impossible. God made no one alike...and HOW many people have lived on Earth since it began?
That's what I call c-r-e-a-t-i-v-i-t-y!
Hahaha! Add I begin this post questioning why I can't seem to condense my thoughts into ONE topic discussions.
Have a good day! Pip Pip. Cherri-o.

ReplyDelete:) :) :) An interesting post, although it is random... :D
ReplyDeleteI like what you said about us Oz/speech people. I think the obvious answer of Why We're Different is that this group of kids are all Homeschooled and Christian. I don't want to be rude or judgmental, but being outside of the peer-pressure-driven worldly education system does make a difference. Though, the big difference is our Savior, and the yearning we have to be more like him. :D I'm glad you have that yearning too, and are able to learn from your Father's lessons!
