So the title of this blog really has nothing to do with much that will be in it. It's the name of an episode of a radio drama I used to listen to as a kid called Jungle Jam (ok, so I still listen to it sometimes).
Its been a pretty long week. Started off with my marathon work weekend. I always work pretty much straight through from Saturday evening til Tuesday evening... with a couple short breaks in between shifts/activities. Wednesday I started watching 4 kids while their parents were/are on vacation. Their grandparents have them now. But while I was there, the family dog ended up getting pretty sick and then had to be put to sleep last night. I feel so bad for the kids. I don't really know how they took it because the grandma got them from school yesterday. Which, honestly, is defintiely ok with me.
I also realized I've been believing some lies that I've been telling myself about certain situations. Its kinda a bummer cause I didn't realize I was in denial about it until yesterday. I wish I was still in denial. Lol.
But on the plus side of things. I went to the prayer summit at church last night. It was really good. I don't very often get to be in a service where I walk away feeling refreshed. Part of the reason for this is I am almost always in the nursery (that is not me complaining, I love it there). But last night was just amazing. I got to pray with a lady whom I discovered is in a fairly similar place to me. Especially as far as the Home-longing is concerned.
Can I just say I love sitting in the presence of God. I love it. I've found that it really is where I belong. Its the only place that I fully belong. That's why I can't wait to have His presence literally surrounding me when I get to be with Him. I love when I'm that close how easy it is to talk with Him. To hear Him. I love the assurance of His love and delight.
And on the random side of things, I've seen giraffes in books, when me and one of the kids I was watching were playing a game and on tv. In alot more places, too. But I can't remember them all. Basic point is; I still see them almost daily.
Also random, I inexplicably have "Somebody to Love" running through my head right now.
And I really want to go skiing.
Me off.
Ps. One more random thought. I'm pretty sure I want "Dear True Love" by Sleeping at Last (lyrics below) sung at my wedding.
