Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you weren't sure if what you knew you knew you knew? Yeah. Follow that one. And this one.....That for everything you know you know, there is at least one other person who knows they know too. And then that's where a few other things come into play.
1. That other person that knows they know? Ask them what they know.
2. Ask Jesus what He knows and what He wants you to know.
3. And finally, sometimes, forget what you know you know.
4. Often the key to the first 3 is time. Time wasted, past, spent. Just time. Waiting. With a purpose.
Life is hard. It's hard to get things done sometimes. It's hard to come to terms when they don't look like you wanted them to. It's harder when someone else is not pleased with how they look. Especially when you really wanted the person to know what you know. Especially when it's that you really love him/her. And others you were trying to serve.
The thing about humility is that it is created by humbling experiences. I don't get tired of saying sorry so much as I get tired of having something to be sorry about. KWIM?
I just wish I knew what I know. And that I knew what it was that right now I think I know. If I did, I'd know a lot more about what others know they know.
Perceptions are everything. They are catalysts for so much of life. My perception is the absolute truth so far as I know it. That does me no good because if I could just know what others perceive, I would be far less likely to assume mine are the only valid perceptions. And I answered my own question earlier. #1 says to ask others. Well, duh. I think I will!
I'm tired. That's my reality, and it may even change how you perceive my post. I'm going to bed now.

I'm Baaa-aack.....Feeling sort of sheepish
Yeah. I could explain the absence, but I won't try......E-gads.
But here I am! My friends and family having given up on my blogging potential, I figure it's just me and my blog.......
Hmmm. What's going on?
1. school ended
2. MOPS started creeping into my every waking moment
3. we went to Disney World
4. and made it back
5. Caleb turned 7
6. we threw a party
7. I started haunting facebook and finding people I never thought I'd see again
8. VBS happened
9. We took some family pictures
10. I made some very dear friends very fast
I think I've broken the cycle, so I'm going to stop before I overshoot myself and feel the unattainable need to produce another phenomenal post tomorrow or the next day or the day after that, etc. Little steps are best.
