Hope all is well with my friends today...
All is the same on the marriage front so no need to post anything about that...
I have missed the opportunity to see Creed on 3 separate occasions - So bummed...
My Cowboys lost last night in the last 4 seconds of the game - So bummed...
I did something abnormal for me and got a little plastered on Friday night...
I drank to many kamikazes but had a really fun time...
I have been sitting home for the last 10 weeks pining away for a man who obviously doesn't want me and it was time to go out and let my hair down...
I went out with my Mom and Sister and met up with some friends...
I need some real life friends and I need to get a life though alcohol shouldn't be involved in that...
I went out Saturday however limited my drinking this time...
I went to Church Sunday...
I am now at work...
You are probably wondering why there is a bag of chips and a can of Pringles on my blog...
Well I am about to tell you...
The sermon at Church yesterday was about checking your ego...
I learned that your ego will get in the way of your real relationship with God...
I learned that your ego will stand in the way of your learning...
I learned that your ego brings about fear and shame...
I learned my ego is to big and it isn't always about "me"...
I learned "letting go" is so much easier said then done...
I also learned I want to be like a can of Pringles and not a bag of chips.
As told by my Pastor...
People are either like a bag of potato chips or they are like a can of Pringles...
Being a believer then you would be a can of Pringles...
Being a non-believer then you would be a bag of chips...
As a non-believer, (therefore a bag of chips), you are mostly full of air when opened or confronted...
There is some substance in there however not much...
If you take a bag of chips and repeatedly throw it against the wall, the contents will break apart and crumble...
Same with your life and the hell you may be going through...
It will break you apart and crumble you...
As a believer, (therefore a can of Pringles), you are full of the Holy Spirit...
No matter which end is opened, it is completely full...
You can repeatedly throw a can against the wall and the contents will still be fine upon opening...
Same with your life and the hell you may be going through...
You are protected by angels and you can't break...
I want to be the can of Pringles...
I want to know that no matter what I encounter in life, I will be encased by angels who will protect me...
It is very hard for me to let this take over completely because of the hurt I have experienced in the last few months...
I have been doing a lot of thinking and soul-searching and while my beliefs in divorce haven't changed, what I want in a relationship has...
I want a man who isn't ashamed to announce his love to me no matter where the place...
I want a man who will hold me when I cry and isn't ashamed to shed a few tears either...
I want a man who is affectionate, one who doesn't walk ahead of me in public, one who is right beside me holding my hand...
I want a man who will fight for what he believes in and not run at the first sign of trouble...
I want a man who can laugh at life and enjoys life to the fullest...
I want a man who will go to the alter with me and kneel by my side in prayer...
I want a little romance, not just some flowers here and there but true romance, a walk on the beach at night, lying by the fireplace in the nude, dancing in the rain etc...
I want a man who will hold my face, look into my eyes and then kiss me like I am the first and last person he will ever lay eyes on again and that he is ok with that...
I want to know I am the only woman for him and I want him to know he is the only man for me...
I want to be complete in our love, I just don't know if the man I married is that man anymore...
Maybe I have been settling for silver when God is trying to give me gold.

Sometimes The Journey Makes You Weary
Feels Like A Long & Winding Road
Sometimes This Life Can Lose It's Meaning
But You Might Be Surprised To Find Some Hope
Maybe You're Wondering Where Love Is
You May Feel It's Far Away From Here
Maybe You're Wondering Where I Am
You Might Be Surprised To Find I'm Near
interesting analagy
ReplyDeleteGotta say... wow!!! I want to be a can of pringles too. I just have trouble with the fact that I am HUMAN, and I keep thinking God forgets that about us. I suppose that means I don't have complete faith in him yet, does it?
ReplyDeleteI think it's hard for all of us, but all we can do is strive to be the pringles.
ReplyDeleteI was cheering for your cowboys last night too! That was the 2nd disappointing game yesterday. My titans lost too.
