For we were born only yesterday and know nothing,
and our days on earth are but a shadow.
~that reminded me of part of a movie where someone said "but a shadow and a....." then I forget the line of the movie, lol.~

There is a kids store in the mall that has these silly little llama's with really long eye lashes, its cute and sorta funny at the same time.
*Oh theres also a model train set up near hot topic- kinda interesting if you like those things.

Decided that Bloomingdales must be for people that have like 500 bucks to just throw away on one outfit. Ehh, one of those places you walk in & say oh thats nice, then look at the price & are like "what on Earth are they thinking?" Then you walk out before you find something that you really like so you dont have to feel bad about even thinking about it...LoL.

Found a notebook today near a curb as I was walking...started reading it even though I can not quite understand the handwritting & found out that whom ever it blonged to seemed to be having a bit of deep thought about God. It had all sorts of interesting little things written, but the first thing that I read that stood out was that "Jesus is the only saver of mankind." I think that I was meant to find that for some reason, but Im not quite sure why yet. ~la la la~

At church Shirley was upset so I went to sit next to her. Mmm, bless...I told Sherah that I could feel her energy before I even turned around, I just knew that she needed a little bit of comforting. She has always reminded me of my mother cause her spirit is so warm & caring... she makes me just smile & "glow" with radiating warmness (from deep inside). I felt sad that she was down though, and I pray that whatever it was that was troubling her this morning is washed away with the tides.
All the songs from church keep going in and out of my brain today too->"I need you. I want you. I love your presence. Holy spirit come & fill me up..."*"And I am hungry for you... Im lost without you."*"My comfort, my shelter,tower of refuge and strength. Let every breath, all that I am, never cease to worship You."*"Draw me near to you. Draw me near to you."
~During our healing part of church (not that its not all healing to me but Pam's part I mean)...Pam said something to me that really made me in awe for a moment. She told me something about keeping my head up, looking at the sky, find beauty/peace/etc in the clouds, and smile at the heavens cause God smiles on me...I could not help smiling right then, cause even though I never told a soul (and I am sharing a little light/personal note here)-> Everytime when I walked to the bus stop in school before I looked at the sky and felt purely blessed, happy, and loved. To me the day light breaking over the Earth has always felt like a blessing from Him (cause it really is). Even now when I look up at the heavens & how vast and great they are I still feel the same thing- I feel gloriously blessed. I have always felt the presence of the Lord in nature, especially in great things like the sky- earth- sea (and of course right down to every last petal of a flower too).... <3

Blah-I was thinking randomly about food on my way home:
Mmm hmm, I am a food dork these days.....
~this gets somewhat boring at parts again cause Im just yammering here, feel free to stop or skim~
In terms of fruit- I must say that pineapple has been my favorite for sometime now & I have even had the habit of passing on my strange minor addiction. Anyone that wants to see me smile & be completely content just give me a piece of pineapple (especially fresh). Other than food of course the hugs are always the best ::mmm hugs:: I secretly take a strawberry almost everytime that I go into the produce cooler at work (well its not really a secret I guess- but the berries are so refreshing and yummy).
*Also have a new found appreciation for apple juice again!* There was something that got me started on bringing and drinking apple juice at work, and now its odd if I dont have some with me...LoL...wierd I know. Apple juice is one of those innocent drinks from youth though :]
In terms of seafood- I must say that also love sushi. There is something totally appealing (repulsive at the same time to non-sushi-ers) about raw fish :p & WooT! Other than that Im not too into the rest, but sea urchin is decent, of course cooked fish, and soft shell crab is nice too.
In terms of meat- I have been eatting red met again...felt a little guilt about it cause for some reason its almost like a guilty pleasure or something. I have no idea why I even like it when I eat it (reminds me of cravings that pregnant women get or something). At least I dont eat a whole steak or anything, just a bite here and there with the yummy mushroom sauce or java sauce. Mmm, I think that I love the java sauce more...gotta find out how Max makes that stuff.
In terms of bread/grain- Home made bread is the most wonderful baked good to make and eat that is not too sweet, but "just right" & really "homey feeling." One of my best friends when I was younger had a grandma that made the best bread (next to my grams of course).
In terms of sweets- Aside from my occassional candy habit of eatting red hots I have sort of stopped eatting most desserts. *Rich chocolate brownies with 'the works' & of course ice cream is the most sinfully delicious though ;p mmmm yum
In terms of potatoes-Yes they get there very own category cause they are that good! Sweet potato gnocci is pry my favorite form of potato along with boniato, although I must admit that potatoes are delicious in nearly any form.
In terms of vegetables- "Oh baby I like it RAW." LoL Also a habit of grabbing raw veggies and munching on them as I chop up food for prep at work. Red Bell peppers are my most favorite raw veggie probably- simply a wonderful work of God. I love plants of all kinds :) even the ones that I do not or can not eat.
In terms of it ALL- We are made to eat everything that God provides for us :O yeah! So, we should not be a vegetarian cause we were meant to eat meat.. hehe Still need to be careful though.
