decided i'd take the day off today since our policy and planning paper was finally done by yesterday. heh the original plan was go to the gym, have an extended time of qt/cum mini retreat at Gloria Jeans or somewhere at Vivo, then meet Kel and SQ for lunch and a movie, then get my Hep A booster jab done with mom at 830. but almost all of that changed. ended up going to the gym, coming home just before it started pouring, finding out the doc's not open in the evening and that we therefore had to go before i went to meet SQ and kel, not watching a movie, and having a time for a nap instead which i didn't anticipate wld last until 830pm. haha but i'm telling myself its ok...that i can let it be coz i'm not doing work anyway....but still...such time jumbles don't sit well with me. hahaha. oh went with the boys to doulos and got 2 amazing buys! got this Christmas cd that's got elements of Bing Crosby, Tony Bennett, and Frank Sinatra in it and it's great! and it was just $4! haha or 100 Doulos units. managed to finally get my mentor dearest a present too, as well as a book which i picked up and decided that i had to get it. it's called "Let me be a Woman" by Elisabeth Elliot and some of its chapters include: the God who is in charge, Not who am i? but whose am i?, jellyfish and pride (that one def got me), trust for seperation, God sets no traps and it goes on. haha came home, put on my cd and started pouring through the book. it's just one of those books which from the start, u know u'll take away a lot from. somewhat like ordering ur private world...guess there's just something about books and the season ur in. like somehow, certain books have that much more oomph at a particular period of time. and i'm always amazed at how God sends these books along exactly when u need them!one of the first few opening quotes of the book got me already and is one i strive to make my own daily is this:"Lord, I give up all my own plans and purposes, all my own desires and hopes, and accept Thy will for my life. I give myself, my life, my all utterly to Thee to be Thine forever. Fill me and seal me with Thy Holy Spirit. Use me as Thouh wilt, send me where Thou wilt, work out Thy whole will in my life at any cost, now and forever."
alrighty...back to reading : )
