The Pursuit of a Life of Praise

In your majesty ride forth victoriously in behalf of truth, humility and righteousness; let your right hand display awesome deeds. Let your sharp arrows pierce the hearts of the king's enemies; let the nations fall beneath your feet. Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever; a scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom. You love righteousness and hate wickedness; therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions by anointing you with the oil of joy. ~ Psa 45:4-7

YES! Josiah, we are together! It's official! Surprise, surprise...You are as big of a dork as I am, Joe!

Yes indeed there is enough dork to go around in this family but if being a dork with the likes of all of you is wrong, well then, I don't want to be right. So you mean you guys LIKE each other?! I mean like THAT! CRAZY!

You Dork! Yes, just like THAT, like I even want to hold his hand and one time at church, he sat next to me! Oh my gosh! In fact, he told Elise that he likes me like THAT too and at camp, he asked me out and I said "Yes!" and told me that that he'd write me a note after lunch (which I received on my car after work this past Thursday.) So there's the drama of it all! It IS crazy stuff? I mean - Who knew?????

Hold on a second...you mean you're dating THAT guy? The guy from camp that I talked to at lunch?! He seems pretty cool, but I think I might have to sit down and get to know him a little bit. Make sure he's worthy of you ;)

Leesie! Hahaha, cute! Yeah, I would love it if you guys were actually friends too. Hmm . . . maybe it could work out that way! We'll just have to wait and see. I mean it's so new and we don't want to jump into anything. We just wanna take it one step at a time and just be patient. It's not like I've been in love with him for years or anything, ya know?!

Awh! He's so amazingly gorgeous! Sigh . . .

HOLD YOUR HAND!!! {Falls backward in his chair gasping and clutching his chest in a way that can only signify an offended Puritan moral sense or a recent reader of "I Kissed Dating Goodbye" having certain rugs pulled out from under him...}

Josiah, prepare yourself, because I have let him kiss me on the hand too AND he even kisses me on the forehead when we say good-bye! Oh goodness . . .

Oh geez...this kind of stuff shouldn't even be on the internet. I can't let my mom find out that I've seen this. Her can see me!

Alright, alright, well, obviously we need prayer for purity! All joking aside - prayer over us would be much appreciated. I love you goofballs and your moms!

Don't you talk about my mamma...!

 
At 11:54 AM, Blogger Jen said...

Hey now, I was serious, I really do love your mom! And Josiah, today I am in morning due to the pot of coffee that was wasted due to a certain coffee pot malfuntion. I'm taking it back to the Walmart! I can't believe that! I was haunted all evening by the overwhelming reminder of the tragic event. Another time perhaps?

 
At 12:28 PM, Blogger Elise said...

Well, Josiah, we prayed them through to May 1st (and ourselves), so why stop now? Jen, of course we are and will continue to pray for you! And, can I be in on that coffee adventure?

All episodes of coffee loss are tramatic in the extreme to me and believe me I will be sending all of the relevant therapy bills to the souless fiends at Sunbeam. If you find yourself staring at the wall unable to overcome feelings of intense loss and sorrow please know that you do not suffer alone.

Hey my Sister...
Praying for you as always!

Josiah, we got a new coffee maker and I am in love - what could be better?! Not much! I love you coffee brother!

Steve! Miss you brother! How have you been? Next stop...Jesus_is_Lord blog!
