sunday lalala =) i love sunday =)
i got to hang out with timmie poo lol today =) well him and a lot of ppl but i mainly had a good conversation with him which was great .. great to see him too =) it was funny... i just realized that he was 28 meaning 12 years older than me LOL so he's like "1986!??! i remember my favourite song from 1986 and listening to it while iw asdoing my paper route!" lol so weird.. but it was cool what he said after he said he didn't feel the age gap and did i? no... i dont' feel it either.. and he goes you know why? cuz you're mature for your age and i'm immature so we meet somewhere in the middle lol =) we're both actually 22 =P hahaha... =) it was funny =) but i *still* dont' blelieve maturity is bound to age NOPE NOPE! maturity is somewhat bound to experience though.. which does connect to age somewhat.. although i have friends who are sixteen and have a great deal more experience than some people who is thirty or whatever..but i am reserving another entry to rant about age and maturity hehe
simple
i "taught" sunday school today hehehe twas fun hanging out with kadin, elizabeth, karen, and joshua =) it's cool they're ages 5, 6, 7, and 8 (josh, karen, kadin, lizzie) yes. small things amuse small minds =P .. but yeah we had some fun chilling and talking about loving your enemies.. i think i learned something. i think i know all the principles etc.. but josh, kare, liz and kadin are really good at applying it to real life.. i mean, right away elizabeth's like "i hate my teacher. she yells too much" and i'm just like "yay! that's a way you can practice loving ur enemy!" and stuff.. like.. for me.. i know "love your enemies" it's been drilled into my head over and over for how many years in the church but i still see myself struggling with it even today... getting really really testy with the children's service coordinator who seems to thing he rules the universe and expects me to take up his responsibilities last minute.. or with my family rushing to church in the morning ... or with the last person who made some stupid age remark...or with the people who i have been struggling not to hate for the past week .. hard to keep a fake smile on. but i realized something from sunday school. it's not about pretending to like them.. it's about loving them. "bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you." that's something we talked about.. one of the ways to love your enemies is to pray for them. in that way.. they sort of become your friends. because you care abotu them enough to want good to come to them. i think that if i turn my mentality in this way it'll be better. turn them into friends that i am concerned about instead of people who i despise. and somehow those ppl that i have been struggling to put a happy face on for change from being a struggle to something natural. =) simple. things are so simple. thankyou to kadin, liz, karen, and josh for showing me that today =)
