well, it's another installment of not me! monday, and you can check out everything that noone is admitting to doing over the past week over at mckmamma's blog.
this has been a relatively quiet week, which all began with me not blog-stalking mckmamma all monday morning while i waited for all the sleepyheads on the west coast to wake up. nooooo, i didn't spend a really unproductive morning that would have steam shooting out of my boss's ears if he knew how many times i checked the site. no, that would probably get me fired, but then again i certainly don't sleep with my boss, or am not married to him, so i guess i don't have to worry… too much.
my heart didn't almost split in two during the ash wednesday service when i was faced with my own pride. no, i'm certainly not still struggling with the whole notion of "me" and am not finding my lenten sacrifice of all things "me" a huge battle. but i am happy to report that i have been making progress (or maybe i'm not making progress. i'm not exactly sure how to say that "not-me" style).
i didn't almost pee on myself (just a little) when the Lord opened the door that had been closed for months, allowing me to actually GO on the m-trip to ch*na that i have been planning (but not going) for july. no, that would be a little over the top, so i had to be content with not squealing over His mightiness!
i wasn't just as excited as a child is for christmas at the opening of our church's M-conference. nope, i don't look forward to over 30 families converging on a week-long festival where we all share what the Lord is doing all over the world and in our own backyards. i didn't bawl like a baby during worship, and i certainly would not be caught with my arms raised over my head (afterall, we are the frozen chosen, and WHO does that in public??).
and i most certainly did not make my not-me list in my head as i was lying awake at 2 am waiting for my little weiner dog (the last of three) who had not gone and run off like a crazy pack of dogs with the temperatures in the 20s just before going to bed last nite. no, i wasn't slightly irritated when i had just drifted off after checking every half hour if he had returned, only to be awakened by the please-let-me-in bark at 2:30. now who's growling??
NOT ME!!

Have a great week and thanks for letting me know that I am not alone ;)
ReplyDeletenow i remember why i don't have any pets!! i would be growling too lol~
ReplyDeleteI am glad to know that I am not the only person who cries at church. But, it makes me feel so horribly embarrassed. And once I start, I cannot for the life of me stop. And, I am not really what you’d call a “crier”! But sometimes, the emotions evoked by the simplest of messages, or a familiar hymn send me over the edge and I honestly hate it when I do that. Seriously. Blubbering like a baby. Sheesh!
ReplyDeleteI will have to check out your other blog to learn about Ch*na (not sure why there is a * there?) But if it’s a good thing, I am happy for you! ~ Becky

ReplyDeleteI am glad you did not pee yourself. I had to type it because I love that you used that expression!

Adorable dogs!
