positive pointing #10

Today was a hard day. It began with a no coffee and a headache, continued with overcast skies and a flustered, late arrival to church, came to a climax with a melt down and some sobs and ended sooner than I expected with a nap and a Mark Driscoll sermon. I am thankful for Mark Driscoll who actually suggests incredibly practical advice like "sometimes when you feel crazy, when you feel bothered and grumpy, go take a nap. you don't need to be confronted about it, you don't need to talk through it, you just need to go take a nap."

and so that's exactly what I did and the rest of the day went something like this:
1. woke up and made myself half a mug of coffee. Perfect.
2. chatted with Mary about pleasant nothings
3.got picked up by Eric to go out on a sushi date and got to look straight at that boy's beautiful face.
4. aquired some exciting, free artwork by Eric's friend, Kit
5.had a spontaneous, front yard photoshoot with the artwork (pictured below)


6. got to wear a jacket and my eye glasses (both make me feel cozy)
7....when I went to see District 9 with Eric and Kit. (CRAZY good! but don't take your mom.)
8. had a before-bedtime chat with Ben and Linnea about Harry Potter and winter boots

...sometimes, you just need a a good nap.

very proud of you kyrie-you are getting the hang of the adult world step by step.

i took a really great biblical counseling course many moons ago. it was put together by jay adams. he said the first question to ask any troubled soul is "have you been getting enough sleep?" he had found that many problems that feel completely overwhelming will dissolve when we get the rest we've been missing.

kyr, if you wrote books they would fly off the shelves.

(and that is some exiting artwork!! or maybe i just like the shot of you and eric WITH the artwork...i think i'd hang that shot on my wall before the actual canvases:)

chal, if you commit to learning something everyday, then you will and you'll surprise yourself with all the thoughts in your head that come out when you set to writing each down. i always am.
