Have you seen my life?

My life hasn't been boring lately as my title may imply. But it has been odd. God has been showing me so many things that just blow my mind. And I have been changing a lot too. In odd ways.

Example #1: I have vacuumed my room 3 times this week. Now I like to vacuum, it's true but I really never ever did it that much. It was like a once a month if I was feeling especially tidy thing. I have been dusting a lot too. And folding my clothes and just in general putting things away. Now those of you who have known me for awhile may be thinking, "Where is Dessa? What have the aliens done with her mind? Her personality is not neat! She is messy." I am sorry for shocking you all so. But my new navy blue carpet is so gorgeous when it has no white fuzz-balls on it.

Example #2: I am not worrying nearly as much about people I love. I am still praying, but it kinda isn't my problem anymore? Not that it ever was, but I made it that way. If they decide to screw up their lives, it breaks my heart, but God can still reach them. No matter how far they go. And I can't do anything about it anyway. None of them even listen to me. So why blab on endlessly when it does no good. I just pray.

Example #3: I am getting very close to closing that infamous gate. And completely opening my heart to God and His love. And becoming wholely devoted to Him. He is a much better "love of my life" than the other guy. And not only is that gate starting to stay closed, I really don't want any relationship with any guy right now. It is too much work. And I want to be closer to God. And not need a guy. They really are very unstable crutches to lean on at this age (and the same goes for girls at this age too, guys, we are especially unstable! LOL.)

Example #4: I have been much more diligent in my school work. Yay!!!

But see how weird I am getting? But it is a good weird. It is a peaceful weird. I think I like it. I think I will stay this way until God tells me to do otherwise.

I am weird, obviously...

Snug as a Bug

Sorry I haven't wrote for so long. But why is a praise in itself.

WE MOVED INTO OUR NEW HOUSE !!!!!!! So therefore we don't need to use my aunt and uncle's washer and dryer because we have our own. It's been so awesome to be able to do normal things without all the trouble. To have real showers, etc. The only bad thing has been not being able to blog nearly as much. Oh, well. But we moved in to at least sleep on Christmas Eve and have been slowly moving other stuff in as the weeks have passed. I absolutely love my bedroom. If I could I would put pictures but I doubt that will be happening any time soon.

I hope all of you have been doing great in your lives too. Mine has been great despite the things I am learning. Some lessons just don't stick as well as they should. But God has been revealing new things about me to myself. And you know that gate that wouldn't stay closed? (see past articles, The Inept Gate Closer and The Gate that Won't Stay Closed) Well, it is doing much better and staying closed the majority of the time. Some days it still swings open, but one step at a time is all that can be expected. And Jessica has been back for the past few weeks which has been nice even though I haven't seen her nearly as much as I would like. She is so busy. Another "oh, well."

I'll try to do better with writing.

Read 1 Thessalonians 1. It has been an encouraging chapter for me lately. Especially verses 3-5.
