Alyssa's ramblings...

Unfunnyness.

Last night went really well. I’m a bit discouraged, though, because no-one has said that the praise and worship was good, or that I sang well. And when other people sing, I tell them how good they were, and other people rave about how good they were. But it’s all right. It’s not about me, it’s about God... and I know He was glorified through it all. That’s all that matters.

Our Youth pastor was talking about worship, and it really touched me. I entered into God’s presence last night. The only thing on my mind (other than hitting some high notes, which I was trying hard to not worry about) was God, and meeting Him face to face.

I’m starting to read the Bible again {after a bit of a hiatus}. It’s great, I’m really getting a lot out of it. Also, in the Youth Leadership meeting, our Youth pastor challenged us to read one Christian book per month. So I’m reading ‘The Heavenly Man’ again. I started it ages ago, but only got about a quarter of the way through.

I’m not feeling very happy. My husband got paid today, for some casual work that he has been doing. I expected him to be paid for three weeks, but they only paid him for two. So the amount that we received is $400 less than the amount I budgeted for. I’m really sick of having money issues.

I don’t feel like I’m in a rut anymore, so that’s a bonus. I felt like that all the time when I wasn’t praying and reading the Bible.

I wish I had something funny or clever to write, but I’m not in a funny mood today. I will tell you about my dreams, though!

My dreams:

I was at K-Mart, looking for a blender to surprise my husband with (he walked in halfway through, so the surprise was ruined). I couldn’t find them, so I asked a guy who worked there. He told me they’d e in the hardware section, and showed me two - which were bowls mounted on top of gas bottles. They were $800 and $650. He brought another one over, which was $45, but it was an Esky, and had nothing to do with blenders.

Then… I saw a DVD at the video store that had Hilary Duff and Eric Bana as the main characters (i.e. love interests!). Eric looked much younger, though. But when I looked at the actors’ names on the cover, it said that they were Colin Firth and Cori someone.
