Social progress is better with sugar
I'm up early for a Saturday morning. I'm sitting in the union on a computer, guzzling English Breakfast Tea, trying to wake up, and slightly irked with myself for getting up an hour earlier then needed.
Who knows, maybe God and I just needed some time to talk.
I have a meeting this morning/afternoon for my Utah trip, then this afternoon/afternoon I have a four hour rehearsal for The Bald Soprano. Then this evening... well I haven't figured that out yet.
I feel awfully spiffy for a Saturday, I curled my hair and didn't wear sweats and slippers as we are having photos done at our rehearsal this afternoon. I didn't want tot look like I had just rolled out of bed, although I feel like it.
Two weeks until we open for Bald Soprano. Actually two weeks from today will be our last show, but still, two weeks. I am excited. Its so surreal. I"m actually taking the stage again in a mainstage production. Its unbelievable. I think I'm having too much fun as Mrs Smith. It is great fun to pretend to be someone so unlike youself, however they always say there is a touch of reality in each character you play... perhaps there is some of me in Mrs Smith, but it is definitely not a part of me I normally display.
I babysat for my mom and dad last night. It was dissapointing as the kidlets were in rare form and being quite ornery with each other. There was punching, slapping, bickering, some hurt feelings, and quite a few tears (from the children as well as their babysitter) I just don't know what to do with those kids. I cannot understand why they are sometimes sweet as pie and othertimes you want to lock them in a closet. I was never like that as a child... at least I like to pretend I wasn't.
You know, I wonder why, how, God is so faithful to me even when I fail Him. When I continually fall short of the mark, when I deliberatly ignore His voice? I've been rereading "The Search for Significance" by Robert McGee. One of my absolute favorite books. I've been reminded again about the Glory of God's grace, and simply because He sees me as beautiful, unblemished, and wholly His that I am. All those things and more.
I should go. See you soon.
