I am tired of people and tea urns and pancakes and hypocrisy, all with excellent reason.
I worked all morning and afternoon at a restaurant that has wretched tea urns which hate me and spit their nozzles out and spray innocent waitresses with tea. It happened several times and it made me very irate because not only is it irritating, I was the one who put the nozzles on the tea urns. Furthermore, I screwed them on so tightly that only a person as strong as myself could get them off again. Ya... And then there were lots of people who wanted to raise their cholesterol today so I was busy helping them.
Tonight my youth group did a super fund raiser at which we gave away super pancakes and people gave us super donations in return. I love pancakes but I have noticed of late that my stomach can't handle sugar and overly processed foods like it used too. Its sad really. But it was a fun thing and I do love pancakes especially with chocolate chips and dutch honey and whip cream. Ya...
Lately I have had an incredibly hard time with a person in my life. A person of authority at work. This person loves to tell me in great lengths how to do simple things. It has become an enormous pet peave because I feel like I have the brain of something that doesn't. This person will with-out fail, turn around and do the very thing just lectured about with an ," Oh I shouldn't do this but just as long as we all know how it really should be done!!" It makes me want to say that I am an intelligent, amazing, person with my own clientele at the restaurant and everyone loves me and I DO have a brain- all in French and then Spanish and then maybe Italian, when I learn it. :)I left in a stew (mental) and went to the pancake supper.
Later tonight I sat and had an in depth conversation with a friend on how awesome and loving our God is and how when He tells me to do things, I want to do them. Ironically, His greatest commandment is to love Him with everything in us, and then love the people around us. So through simply deduction, God wants me to love the unlovable and I just said that I want to love them! Theoretically. Personally, I think God in His Heaven said, " Some people are born humble, some people attain humility, Sonya must have humility thrust upon her." I have decided to learn this lesson as quickly as possible.You can pray for me. :)
Moving on, tomorrow I'm planning on going shopping with my sister for my brother's birthday. He's getting so old. And I'm still freaking out over how tall he is and how short I am. Comparatively. I told him I was gonna get him a tie cause I love ties- mainly cause I know how to tie them. :) Another great thrift store lesson. He didn't want a tie so I'm going to get him something else that we would both like. :) I like buying fun things. I hate buying socks. Derek will not get socks from me for his birthday.
Now I have a question for you,(yes if you're reading this, I mean YOU) if you had to choose, would you rather watch your home and possessions burn to the ground OR give them all away?
Eat, drink, exercise and have a happy wk-end. Sonya

Well done; another profound post :D.
In answer to your question, I think that I would rather give all of my possessions away than see them all burn. Why waist what might be used for another's benefit?
Hmm, the third option not listed would be to horde them all to yourself I suppose.
Sonya, if you'd write a book I'd read it... and help u spend the money you'd make off it! lol I take your chocolates and now your money... I'm making progress. lol :) In answer to your question... definitely give them all away. Funny how I say that, but then go about my life collecting more things for me. My first two comments testify to that. Thank you for your thought-provoking thoughts. :) ~Teen
you eat my chocolates? since when?!i didn't know i had any and here i thought i ate yours.:) haha, or thats what i did the other night when i invited myself over.but yes, i'll share my money when i'm rich and famous and we'll go to europe and we won't need the poisoned mushroom this way.that was a joke my over-reacting friends.and i was thinkin, since everyones so willing to give their things away, i may just skip Christmas presents this year. *laughs* kidding, i gotta spend those one$ some time :)
pretty sure I agree with the others about giving the stuff away... and I'm thinkin I just might be one of those people that has to learn humility over time... :)
i would rather give my possesions away. then at least they might be given back to me when i am in need.
